i've been pondering the nature of dreams the past few days.
i recently had a dream where my teeth were melting. i could physically feel them disintegrating in my mouth. so much so that i had to pass my tongue over my teeth when i woke up, just to be sure they were still there. it was a bit rattling to be honest.
i often look up particularly vivid aspects of my dreams, to see if i can get any sort of insight into what my brain is trying to puzzle out. sometimes its helpful. sometimes its not.

this site seems to think i'm bottling up something, but i'm not sure what that is. it could be my anxieties about the near future. it could just be that i'm in the very beginning stages of a new relationship and i kind of want to talk about it with my friends and family, but its way too soon for that.
i have long wondered if dreams are meant to show us something, or if its just a good way for our brains to process information. personally i think its both. if our brains can show us ideas through a new abstract vision, we can piece together a solution in both our waking and sleeping lives.
when i was a child, a few years before puberty, i had a recurring dream where thousands of clones of me stood in concentric circles around me. the background was just clouds of mist, and the floor was a mirror. every few seconds one of the circles of clones would take a step to my left, their right. after, the circle behind them would take their steps, and then the circle behind them and so on.
looking at the stage in life that i had that dream, i think my brain was attempting to figure out my place in the world, and what sort of personality and role i would have in it. i had only really just become a conscious person. i was starting to wake up to the real world, and my brain was figuring out what our role was.
in the end, i think dreams can be particularly helpful in puzzling out certain problems, either consciously or subconsciously. do they help a lot? not usually. they do seem to tell you where you're at in life though.
anyways, if you've read this far, tell me about your own weird dreams and what you think they mean.

I had a dream once that was so pleasant I didn't want to wake up. I was on some clouds and what seemed to be sitting next to me were a few cherubs, at least the classic description of them.
It was cool and breezy, I never felt more relaxed or at peace from any other dream.
They then all spoke at once for me to try and fly, and when I did I was falling.
Immediately they all came and grabbed a hold of me and put me back on the cloud. They were smiling at me and one gave me a hug. Then I woke up. I don't know what that dream meant, all I know I was trying my hardest to go back to that dream again.
that sounds really pleasant! i dont think ive ever had a dream like that, where i was feeling really comfortable. i hope you get back to that dream at some point, so you can feel comfortable like that again.
