Late

My time is running out.

The 'dreams' entry I made earlier, came back to haunt me. Literally. For so long, I haven't had a 'bad dream', and I was starting to think it was because I was listening to music and it was keeping me relaxed, but I think it was the night I made that entry, when I had a nightmare. I forgot what it was about, but I layed awake in bed for about an hour thinking about it.

Dreams are fascinating. I read about dreams last night, before I went to sleep, and it's really an amazing thing - especially lucid dreaming. I'll get into detail about that another time. Last night, instead of leaving on a collection of songs, I left on one song - my new song. I wanted to see if it would affect my dreams in any way, and it did. I dreamt I had to go to class, but while driving, I realized I took a wrong road. I had gone the opposite way. I checked the time in my car, and it was 6:00 - and I remember thinking I had to be there by 9. But somehow, I checked the time again, and it had jumped, and I was late. I was racing against time my entire dream, struggling to get to school. In my dream, I was going to Berkeley, which is interesting because I have considered that school for transfer. Today, I was thinking about what that dream might have meant. Maybe I'm nervous about school? I found one interpretation of what being 'late' means, and it said:

Late
To dream that you are late, denotes your fear of change and your ambivalence about seizing an opportunity. You may feel unready, unworthy, or unsupported in your current circumstances. Additionally, you may be overwhelmed or conflicted with decisions about your future. You feel time is running out and that you do not have time to accomplish all the things you want.

How conveniant. "You feel time is running out and that you do not have time to accomplish all the things you want." If that's not on point, I don't know what is. I spent the entire day yesterday thinking about my album, and how I have to prepare it. 7 months seems like a long time, but time flies. All the distribution, promotion - takes a lot of time, and you need to be smart with how you do it. I think the dream, in a sense, is referring to my music, (which is odd considering I was listening to my music while sleeping), and is referring to school, because I'm trying to find a balance between both. Either way, dreams are quite my interest lately, because if I dream I'm a butterfly, then wake up - did I just wake up dreaming I was a butterfly, or start dreaming I'm a person..? Think about it.
