Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for May 13, 2005
1. Describe a dream you have frequently. Honestly? I can't think of any. Except for a couple recurring nightmares when I was a kid, my dreams seem to be one-use-only type things.
2. Describe a nightmare that has haunted you. I've described a couple of them in my journal before, but one of my favorites (now that I'm older) involved my dad doing battle with a fire-breathing dragon at my Grandmother's house in the woods of northern Michigan while I watched from the (very flammable) screen porch.
3. Has a dream ever affected your conscious decisions (ex: caused you to change careers)? I can't remember any specific instances, but I imagine it has happened. Sometimes I wish I took them a little more seriously.
4. Do you dream in color? In sound? Always, unless there's call for a special effect. My dreams are like movies, many without me in them, so sometimes black and white just makes more sense for the genre. They usually have sound as well.
5. Has a dream ever given you insight into your personality or into a particular problem or issue you were dealing with? Yes. The bridge dream has had particular significance for me. Jon finds it especially interesting now that we're getting married in Niagara Falls with my family (including my grandmothers) present. Even more interesting was that the bridge in that dream nearly two years old looked a lot like the Rainbow Bridge in Niagara.
