Psychology – A Raindrop In The Ocean

2 days ago, was a typical day. Well, not typical, in that I started work a few hours earlier then usual. But otherwise, the day was just like any other.

All of the important tasks of the department were already done when I arrived, so I ended up working on cereal overstock, taking out as much of the boxes to shelf as I could. As I was in the process, I ended up running into much expired product, and improperly rotated product, which meant I spent the time I had, correcting that problem.

Having discovered this, I left a note on the white board, an fyi to my department manager (and to all reading it). Though a co-worker from a different department had recommended I reword it, I decided to leave it as it was.

That night, I had a dream. In the dream, it turns out, I was in that day of work, on the way out the door. And I seen the white board, but my note had been condensed and edited (seemingly by the person who I was talking to about it earlier). But later upon waking, I could not recall if it actually happened, or was a dream.

I ended up asking the guy a day later, if he had edited the note (the answer was no).

Ever have that happen to you?

I think I have before, but its been awhile.

Dreams are funny and interesting things. I don’t remember all that many of the ones I have, and those that I do are usually unremarkable, but sometimes they make you say, wtf?!?!

In the last week or so, ive had a few new things happening in life. I reconnected with an old high school buddy that I have not hung around with for a long time. And I came to a bit of a personal decision, that I have to let go of the past, and try to be more outgoing. In fact, I wrote about my decision to move forward yesterday .

And so I have this stuff in my mind (though on the back burner), when I fall asleep.

And so in dreamland, I find myself in high school. Not my high school of old, but just a figment of my imagination. I don’t remember much of the beginning, but I do remember being in gym class. I was sitting and the teacher was explaining something, and my friend (who I had reconnected with recently, also in the dream) was being disruptive. Talking and such.

Then I remember him chasing a spider around and under where I was sitting (interesting, because I find spiders creepy AND my cat chased one under the couch just before I went to sleep lol). I then remember the teacher asking him to leave, so I got pissed and left to. And so I woke up not long after.

It was interesting, what the brain can do with seemingly random tidbits of unrelated information floating around in its midst. The “high school” aspect is not a new dream for me, ive been there before, usually end up leaving the class (giving up) in the dream. That is the story of how my high school career ended, but oddly enough, the 2 dreams only occurred after I graduated.

And the friend loyalty thing is not new either, because I am known to voice my disdain for injustice whenever possible, and I have always LOVED stirring up shit.

This dream was just, interesting.
