Dreams

What do they mean? Do they mean ANYTHING? Is it just something in our sub-conscience that is screaming to be recognized? Are they our REAL feelings or just insecurities? Why do we have some dreams over and over, for years and years? Why do we remember some dreams and forget others? These are all questions I have asked myself, more than once. I have even gotten to the point of buying a "dream dictionary". But then I ask myself...aren't these interpretations just those of the person writing the book? Is there no proven way to interpret dreams? I have had a recurring dream since I was a small child. I won't go into details, but it concerns a huge tarantula. I have been having this dream at least once a month since I can remember. At first I thought it was just my fear of spiders coming through my subconscience. Now, I wonder if there is some other significance. Since I met Rob, I have this dream of us being separated, and me wanting to come back and him not allowing me to. This is insecurity surfacing. That's easy to understand. We all have certain inscurities in our relationships, no matter how secure the relationship is in itself. But, I don't understand why I keep dreaming about this spider. Is there something in my life since I was a child that I need to remember to get this dream to stop? Am I suppressing some dark memory? Should I talk to someone professionally or just let it go? I don't dwell on it. I'm just curious. I guess I can tell you that it deals with me trying to flush this tarantula down the toilet, and it keeps coming back up. So I take that to mean, there's something I am trying to get rid of in my life and no matter what I do, it keeps resurfacing. But what? Oh well...I guess this is destined to be one of those little mysteries of life. It's really nothing to worry about because I have had this dream for so many years. It hasn't affected my life in a negative way. Actually, it hasn't affected my life in ANY way. Just something I wish I understood. I know this has nothing to do with my life now, so I don't know why I even mentioned it. Have a great day!
