Nekkid Radio

This morning I had a dream I was a guest start on the BJ, Howie and Jennifer morning show on ALICE 1059. The catch was they were broadcasting nude, so I would have to guest broadcast in the nude as well. We were broadcasting from Children's Hospital. When we finished I got on my bicycle and rode home... yes, naked.

I woke up about 10 minutes into my alarm going off. Apparently this wasn't a dream so much as me confusing sleeping with waking life. The morning show my alarm is set to really was doing their show in the nude and they were plugging some benefit for Children's Hospital. Sometimes a dream is just a dream... sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

The Heart of the Matter

"To see your heart in your dream, signifies truth, courage, love, and romance. It is representative of how you are currently dealing with your feelings and expressing your emotions. Also consider the saying "the heart of the matter" which implies that you may need to get down to the core of a situation before proceeding. "

In my dream I am at the doctor for a routine physical. She listens to my breathing and tells me I need emergency open heart surgery. The problem? My heart is too big for my body, and if it keeps pumping at it's size it will overwhelm the rest of my organs. She asked if I had any symptoms, particularly effecting my smile. She said that sometimes a big heart can affect ones ability to smile. I told her yes, I had not smiled lately... and I was rushed to the ER. I was out during the surgery but remember watching them rebuild my heart. They sliced it, removed a chunk, and then reattached the two halves, delicately placing layer after layer, and taking the time to sew it all together. I woke up in the hospital feeling no pain.

This weekend something very traumatic happened to me, something I thought would never happen to me and something I thought if it did happen, there would be a clear cut right or wrong. To be hit by the person you love is one of the most core shattering experiences I have ever felt. You don't know where it comes from, you want to hate them but sometimes you can see past the rage into a person that is hurting and does not know how to deal with things. In a matter of day, I lost the person I loved and had to move out of his apartment. Thank God I have family, with whom I am staying currently.

The shake up is life changing. I had been feeling the need for a new start and this was the literal and metaphorical push I needed to make that happen. Can that person change and can we have a relationship again? Can I forgive him? Where will I be living in three weeks? All these questions and only time will provide the answers.

Dolphins and Pregnancy

Dolphins and pregnancy
As some of you know, I tend to have the strangest dreams. Last night was no exception. At first I was at the beach, and was watching the water when I noticed to dorsal fins. Those two fins belonged to sharks. But right as I got scared, they were followed by 4 dolphins. I am not sure what happened in between that time and what happened next in my dream, but the next thing I remember I was tossing and turning in bed, only to find that I was sleeping on my stomach, and it was incredibly painful. I reached down to feel my stomach and felt a very pregnant belly. I turned over and looked at my stomach, and I was definetly pregnant.
Thank goodness my boyfriend does not have myspace, because he would be long gone. Thank goodness I don't believe in literal interpretations of dreams either, because I would be long gone as well. I looked up the meanings of the two prominent symbols and this is what they mean:
Dolphins: Dolphins represent friendliness, communal living, rescue, communication, and affection. They are water dwelling mammals and in our dreams they represent our willingness and ability to navigate through emotions. They represent positive messages from our unconscious minds. Dolphins could also represent a positive connection between our consciousness and to those parts of the psyche that is a mystery and largely unconscious.
Pregnancy: symbolizes being "pregnant" with ideas and is a good omen for women.
I think this is good for me because I am going through a point in life where I am facing a lot of change and need to rely on something greater than myself (my friends, my family, my spirituality) to guide me through to the right path. Next time I write in this blog, I am sure it will be about some major changes in my life!
