A Little Of This And A Little Of That

First announcement that I would like to make is this: I have long since finished reading the book Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon and the book review is still on the way. It was such a delight reading this book and it only took me less than five days to read it. It was a challenge trying to finish my readings when I have random projects and work to attend to. BUT I did finish the book and it was fantastic. More on Styxx will be on the way, I can assure you!

Next thing that I want to explain is just the possibility of a new blog. Its just a matter of me trying something new just to amp up my experience with blogging or at least try a new topic that folks might be interested in. Just a thought and still in progress.

I am currently reading a book called Nightshade by Andrea Cremer.

And finally I would like to share a rather disturbing dream because I want to.

Just last night, I had a dream that I was going to Walmart with a guy friend of mine. Now, the dream me knew that this guy friend had a girlfriend in real life in this dream world, however that didn't stop either of us in this dream from having an affair. By affair I mean: we kissed, we cuddled, we were totally into each other. When we left Walmart and got into his jeep, his girlfriend also walks out of Walmart carrying a baby. A tall man is with her claiming to be her father when I knew in real life that this man wasn't her father, yet he was claiming to be. In addition, I know in real life that the girlfriend doesn't have a child and yet in the dream she claimed it was her child and that my guy friend was the father of it. Completely ignoring me and throwing me in the backseat, the three individuals hovered over the child completely awed by its cuteness. When I was about to be given the baby, (as if it was my turn to hold and awe at the child) the father character snatches the baby away and tells me that I'm not worthy to hold the child. (Which I don't blame him since the dream started off with me cheating). Anyways the car is about to roll out of the parking lot with my guy friend driving until he accidentally backs into and (magically) wrecked a very expensive car with racing decal.

My guy friend knew he was in deep shit, but rather than stopping and waiting to talk to the owner, he drives off. We didn't even make it out of the parking lot when two big guys in leather coats and carrying tire irons jumped out in from the our vehicle and forced us to stop. They were bald men with very stylized facial hair. The one closest to the passenger door commanded us to get out of the car. My guy friend, his girlfriend (and baby), the father character get out of the car and while doing so my guy friend was pleading with the men and asked them not to hurt the baby. I was trapped in the backseat and couldn't get out unless someone pulled the lever to move the seat ahead of me so that I could get out. The two men pulled the lever and discovered me in the backseat with rage written all over their faces. I , for some reason, couldn't help but stare at them with the most dumb expression. I assume that my stupidity was the reason for the one man to randomly seize a knife from his pocket and he perfectly shoved the blade deep and between my ribs. It was that moment that I felt like I was reliving a moment from one of Sherrilyn Kenyon's characters. And the only words that came out of my mouth was a shocked and almost whisper, "Oh my God, that man just stabbed me". My eyes raced to meet my guy friends eyes and although he looked just as shocked as I was, he did nothing to help me. Horror began to kick fully within me especially since my dream guy friend wasn't acting like himself as he would in real life. I knew that in real life, my guy friend would actually be beating the shit out of the man who stabbed me with a knife. However, in dream world, he was just as helpless as the baby in the dream. The men shoved me back and then they both jumped in the car. They drove back into the parking lot as as the blood was pouring out of my wound. I leaned over to the window to notice other people who were also bleeding and tied up along side of the road. I had a feeling in my gut that the men driving the car were going to kill those people by driving over them at full speed when we reached the end of the road. It then dawned on me that they were going to drive me down to the end of the line so that I could join these victims in the blood splattering death.

For the first time in my life, of ever having tons of nightmares, I was able to wake myself up before the men could drive me to the spot where I was going to die. It was also at that moment that I realized that this bizarre dream was highlighting and hinting some things about my future. I honestly don't think it's telling me that I'm going to cheat (although the dream did present some pretty scary consequences for cheating), I looked up some things from http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/ and discovered the following:


Stab
To dream that you have been stabbed signifies your struggle with power. You are experiencing feelings of inadequacy and defensiveness. Alternatively, the dream suggests that you are feeling betrayed as reflected by the popular phrase, "being stabbed in the back". 

 Baby
To see a baby in your dream signifies innocence, warmth and new beginnings. Babies symbolize something in your own inner nature that is pure, vulnerable, helpless and/or uncorrupted. If you dream that the baby is smiling at you, then it suggests that you are experiencing pure joy. You do not ask for much to make you happy. If you find a baby in your dream, then it suggests that you have acknowledged your hidden potential. If you dream that you forgot you had a baby, then it suggests that you are trying hide your own vulnerabilities; you do not want to let others know of your weaknesses. Alternatively, forgetting about a baby represents an aspect of yourself that you have abandoned or put aside due to life's changing circumstances. The dream may serve as a reminder that it is time for you to pick up that old interest, hobby, or project again.

 Car Crash
To dream that you are in a car crash indicates that your beliefs, lifestyle, or goals are clashing with another's. It may also represent a shocking situation or painful experience. Alternatively, car crashes may forewarn of your dangerous or careless driving habits.�In particular, if a car crashes into you, then it suggests that your lifestyle, beliefs or goals may be in conflict with another's. It may also be symbolic of a jolting experience or injured pride. 

 Knife
To dream that you are carrying a knife signifies anger, aggression and/or separation. There may be something in your life that you need to cut out and get rid of. Perhaps you need to cut ties or sever some relationship. Be more divisive. Alternatively, a knife refers to some sexual tension or sexual confrontation. 

 If the knife is dull, then it denotes that your hard work will result in little or no gain.

To dream that you are wounded by a knife is symbolic of masculine or animalistic aggression.

To see someone holding a knife in your dream suggests that you lack control or power in a situation or relationship. Alternatively, the person holding a knife in your dream may be symbolic of a dominant male figure in your waking life.

Cheating
To dream that you are cheating on your spouse, mate, fiance, or significant other suggests feelings of self-guilt and self-betrayal. You may have compromised your beliefs or integrity and/or wasting your energy and time on fruitless endeavors. Alternatively, cheating dreams reflect the intensity of your sexual passion; you are exploring areas of your sexuality. In this scenario, the dream may actually serve as a reaffirmation of your commitment. Furthermore, if you are approaching your own wedding date, then it is not uncommon to have dreams about erotic experiences with partners other than your intended spouse. Most likely, such a dream represents the newness of your sexual passion. It may also signify anxieties of changing your identity - that of a spouse.



Anyways, that is all I have for now. Again I do apologize for not keeping you all updated. If you all have any comments or questions please let me know. Thanks again and as always having a happy reading time!

And also have sweet and better dreams!
