Recently my father has been bringing up small details of dreams he's been having of the past (possibly), his father, his old house, etc. I had a dream this morning that kept me awake about a friend and I. At first a good friend (who I wish was more than that, haha) and I were sitting in his livingroom (which I have never seen) and his phone rang. The funny part was it rang to a piece of music he'd played before and although it sounded nothing like that, he insisted it was so I just shrugged and agreed. I may have woken up, I may not have, and next thing I know I'm walking near the church in my neighborhood and crossing the street with my best friend. We're walking down the sidewalk when we here about expiration dates and yogurt. Well, it seems the news and the government were strictly warning everyone not to buy yogurt after the 15th, (which is odd b/c 15 hardly has any significance in my life and it's the 25th today) but before was okay (my birthday is on the 14th). Anyways, we had both eaten yogurt recently and it was maybe the 15th or 16th in the dream, I wasn't sure, yet we were sure we'd eaten it past the "safe" time. The yogurt had somehow contained some kind of bacteria (it started with a v, and I was sure it was real but I can't recall the name or if it really was real or not) that caused an incurable cancerous diseases that happened quickly, horribly, painfully and caused diarrhea and weight loss, vomitting, and death. Well so I went home and saw my mom watching a show on a child with such a disease which was documentaried by the nurse with what she said was an X-ray, yet I knew that was impossible and the video quality was like with a camera and the color just a little off so it was only 10-20 years old (others have been prone to stupidity or naivity in my dreams, especially my friend in the previous dream with the phone, my mother, and my father, anyone really)...so I woke up, feeling a little unnerved. If my mom (who is not living with us right now, but is alive) was here, she'd probably say it was spiritual (which being Christian, was my first instinctive wonder) or that there was some kind of demon in the house. Seeing as how my father and I have both been having bad dreams I wondered if maybe it was a change of diet, simply the weather, or just coincidence. (Also, before that dream, when he woke up for work he came in to wake me up and said he thought that I'd said something or made a noise and I said I didn't think I did but when I thought about it, I remember dreaming that I'd woken up moments before and saying that I wasn't dreaming, so possibly I had said something...? I was also breathing very hard). What troubles me is that during the day, usually around 5 to 7 I can fall asleep easily after school, or usually after being asleep for an hour I can fall asleep very easy in the morning (obviously) but at night between 10-12 even on school nights, I have trouble sleeping the majority of the time because it seems like I can never find the proper position, I can't sleep, I randomly have a small trouble or change in breathing (which usually leads to me paranoiedly telling myself when to breathe in and out and making sure my pulse is normal which is only because I'm totally OCD about breathing and my heart for no reason at all...) so I wondered if maybe bad dreams, breathing heavy when I woke up was a health sign, diet, spiritual reasons (or if you aren't spiritual, unlike me, you may not factor that in), or just a dream.
Sorry for such a long message, but this hour in the morning none of my friends are awake yet and I find this the best place to ask questions...(obviously)
