Dreams

So Im laying down watching Veronica Mars. My televesions shuts off on it's own as usual from the selftimer, yet Im still awake. Julian's been sick so Ive had those vicks vapor plugins on my outlet for the past like 3 nights. It lets out this intense green light which pretty much lights up the room. So I turn over and realize that from where the plugin is and my nightstand it's created a rather large and disturbing shadow. Looks a a big cone sorta like those KKK memeber get ups. Suuuuuuper creepy!  So Im just strarring at it till eventually I pass out. Boy oh boy was that a mistake. I think I had about 3 different dreams having to do with the KKK. I cant really remember much ofcoarse but I do remember waking up through the night scared as hell. The last one before i woke up this morning was the only one I have any recollection of... Im sitting on a bench at a bus stop waiting. It's night time and really dark. Out of the corner of my eyes I see fire.  I turn to look & it's a clan of them walking towards me with torches chanting my name ::screams:: ahhh I dont know super creepy! So my question is.. Are dreams truely just our subconscious thoughts? I know ive had a million different random dreams before but it seemed like too much of a coincidence that I saw that image right before bed then had so many dreams with the subject?! Can people actually foresee the future through dreams? If you google it, it simply says "A dream is a succession of images, sounds or emotions that the mind experiences during sleep." Ok... but where the eff do they come from?? Some think theyre spiritual messages from the higher power above. Some think your soul has an out of body expirience & wonders else where. Some think its a warning & some just think it's just a dream. I think.... All of the above. I think it's too much of a fascinating expirience to just have one meaning. Dreams can do so much for us. Think about it, were down and our minds are open taking us to places we've seen or never seen before. Maybe it is a higher power giving us a glimpse of another life or whats to come. Maybe it's spiritual and helping us cope with the probems were having now. Maybe it's faith that we can get our lives back together. Maybe it's to scare the crap out of us if deep down we know where doing something wrong, and maybe its just that last bit of hope we lack to know everything will be ok. I dont know but tonight... Im watching pony's & rainbows before bed =P
