The other night, I had a dream about work. Not where I currently work, but a past job. Thankfully, I don't remember much about the dream. I'd like to keep that job alive only in my memory; I want that experience only as a distant memory, reminding me of a life I never want to relive. I did things I never knew I was capable of there, most of which aren't fond memories. I only want it alive in my memory to serve as a checkpoint, to never make those mistakes again.
The fact that I dreamed about it is slightly unnerving. Of all the things I could be dreaming about, that's what was occupying my mind as my body rested?! Granted, I'm apparently defragmenting; my dreams seem to be rattling out situations from past experiences. A few nights before the ex-job, I dreamed about a class that I took as a junior in high school... I guess I'm just getting rid of mental clutter. I can deal with that.
It's interesting, because I rarely dream of the unknown. Maybe that's because I spend so much of my waking hours thinking about that... so my dreams compensate. It would be interesting to find out if that's the case, or if it's something else.
I love sleeping, as it is... but when I have dreams that I remember (as has been the case, lately), I love sleeping that much more.
