Ooh Dreamweaver.
Before it was a software, Dreamweaver was better known as a song.
A song from my youth. A youth in her infancy of experimenting with FM radio days.
Why is it that certain songs come flooding back to you in a rush.
For some odd reason, Gary Wright’s Dreamweaver was one of those songs.
That was back in the day that I really believed in dreams, not only for their symbolism but that they were prophetic.
As am now a bit wiser, I try to find the hidden meaning in them — along with the help of Dreammoods.com.
A great web site to interpret dreams.
But honestly lately, I’ve been sleeping like a rock. No sleeping drugs, either.
No dreams that I remember.
I don’t really miss them.
Maybe I should.

Once again linking up with Jana at Jana’s Thinking Place for Stream of Consciousness Sunday.
Dreams was our prompt.
I’ve learned the key to some of my reoccurring dreams. One such dream was every time I got on a plane, it crashed.
I’d take my seat, apologize to the folks sitting to my right and left, “Sorry you ended up on the plane in my dream — cause we’re going down.”
Finally I learned that plane crashes symbolize when you feel expectations on performance are too high and you won’t be able to meet them.
BINGO. So me.
Once I learned its meaning, I rarely have that dream anymore. I can’t remember the last time I did.
But since I’m sleeping so soundly these days, maybe I’m dreaming it all the time?
Do you have any reoccurring dreams?

Great post! Now I’m going to be singing Dreamweaver all day! At least you’re nice in your dream before you crash, right?
Ha. Yes Jana, I give my aisle-mates a smile and a shrug of my shoulders.
Why is it that certain songs come flooding back to you in a rush?
In the case of “Dreamweaver” it was playing on the stereo when I was a freshman in college late at night with a beautiful young woman. She was, um, showing me some things. How can I not smile when I hear that song?
That Gary Wright he was nutty that way — had way with song, I guess.
That song makes me think of the movie ‘Wayne’s World.’ It’s a good song – I think one of my parents had it on vinyl at one point.
I have a cousin who dreams about plane crashes, and it scares him so much he won’t even fly anymore. I still contend that since we already lost my mom’s cousin Jimmy in a plane crash, it’s very unlikely to ever happen to our family again. I’m not a nervous flier.
I forgot it was in Wayne’s World Erin. And it’s funny about the dreams, they always happened when I was under a lot of pressure about something. I distinctly remember the first one I had was in high school during cheerleading tryouts.
Jamie, I love the song Dreamweaver and every time I use the program at work I think of it, and it begins to play in my head. Have a great evening.
You know, reading this made me realize that I haven’t really dreamed anything either lately. Sometimes, my dreams are so vivid and they come back to me during the oddest moments.
I love that song. It reminds me of riding in the car with the radio cranked up and my dad singing along when I was a kid.
It is so interesting that once you have ascertained the meaning of a dream you stop having it. I think I should put more thought into the meaning of some of my dreams.
