Your Couple can Contribute to Your Dream Life
|
You have seen that dreams will tell you a great deal about your relationships. Your intimate relationships, however, can also contribute to your dream life. Entering into a great relationship and working to keep it vital and exciting fosters an active dream life. The quest for a happy couple can nurture not just night dreams, but many daydreams and visions as well. During times of stress or even great positive excitement, our sleeping minds are often just as stimulated as our waking minds. Even the anticipation of a flowering relationship can have great impact. Consider Aron's dream. He had been at college for nearly two months and away from Cynthia, his high school girlfriend. The night before she came for a weekend visit, he had a vivid dream.

| | I am at the airport waiting for the plane to unload. I know that Cindy will be on it. I am anxious to see her. The first few people to get off the plane are very overweight. More and more people get offthey are all overweight! I realize that Cindy might be getting off, but she, too, will be overweight.

Aron was so struck by the dream that he told it to his roommate, Chuck. "I guess you are expecting a lot from her visit," Chuck said, half jokingly. Aron almost never remembered his dreams but was fascinated by this one. Maybe he was expecting Cindy to be "larger than life" in some way. He decided to scale back his expectations a little and just have fun when she arrived. He was less anxious and more relaxed when he went to meet her at the airport. He was relieved to see that she was not overweight. The next year he took a psychology class about dreams.
