I am writing about dreams. Doing research for this, I have taken quite a few naps and tried to pay attention to my daydreaming. Both for content and for structure

I dream a lot about things I'm afraid of. It used to be being chased or captured. Being lost. With Josh, it was repeating dreams of him as a cold, angry person (which he was actually becoming as the dreams became more frequent). I couple times I've dreamed of killing someone or being associated with someone's death. Since moving to Atlanta, dreams of coming upon massive blood-spilled car wrecks.
Then, once in a while, I dream something like orange juice is spewing from a hole in the ground and no one notices but me.
my dreams tend to be cinematic...sweeping camera shots, etc.
most of them have a distinct antagonist who is out to get me.
and the other half that i remember are about me being vastly unprepared for something big.
i don't usually have pleasing dreams either. it seems to be alot of me struggling against opposition. as if i didn't get enough of that in the waking life.

My most memorable one of recent time has been an updated version of the often repeated flying dream where in I screamed, "I AM NOT A MASSAGE THERAPIST!" over and over again with the most remarkable sense of joy that radiated from my heart. That was awesome, and a big hint about a new path i was going to take. I also really like to tell bizarre stories in my dreams. If I am facing a special challenge in my life, I know my dreams will give me insight and I sometimes can play out my fears by dreaming. I frequently also know I am dreaming while I am dreaming (lucidity - it
