Infidelity.
I had a dream yesterday night. Hence, the leading title of this entry — Yes, it was about cheating. They say that while you’re asleep, so is your ego and your Id starts to resurface and you dream about all your desires and fears. I dreamed of this guy (which his name will not be mentioned) and he tried to ask me to either be his benefit buddy or along the same lines of “cheating”. I remember he tried to kiss me and I pushed him away. I also remember distinctly that I used my rational-faculty of my brain and ran through everything that I have now that I hold and cherish, including the man that I’m dating. I thought it just would not be right. I care enough for this man, to choose not to cheat. And so, “temptation” man quickly walked out my door, and I was happy to shoo him away.
This isn’t the first time these dreams has happened. But every single time, I would push cheating away. I think my father has traumatized me for life. If I can’t even do it in my dreams, there’s no way in hell I would do it when I’m awake, living my life.
Xangans, what’s your take on fantasies and dreams? Do you think they tend to draw something out in real life, like real desires and fears that are regularly suppressed when we’re awake? What if you cheated on your lover in your dreams, does it mean that you have a higher chance of doing so in reality?

Was listening to this song in D’s car. I love this song. It’s long, but the interlude at the end is the best part. So listen to the full track!

i think dreams can be made from the jumble of fragmented thoughts running around in your mind consciously and subconsciously. most of my dreams don’t make any sense at all and can star close friends and acquaintances.
i had a dream about cheating before, but it didn’t mean anything to me.. and my bf had a dream about cheating once too..which bothered me..but then i got over it once i realized that you can’t control what the content of your dream is going to be.
dreams probably can be a way for you to act out forbidden desires..but i dunno.. i feel like it’s just synapses making random connections and creating dreams with narrative from that.. rather than..an alternate reality.. where you do stuff you’re not allowed to do
i find it interesting though, how you reject the guy’s advances in all your dreams
No problem, nice to meet you too. =) I read one of your entries a few entries down btw, the one about humbility, I really liked it.
