I dreamed a dream...

And it had nothing to do with Les Miserables.

Since a week or so I am thinking I should blog again. This afternoon I went to bed, because I didn't sleep much during the night, so I was tired and I had a headache. I do feel like that was a good decision, because my headache is gone, and I am not tired anymore.
But I dreamed, and - hurray -, it made me feel miserable as well.

I dreamed that I met someone really bad for me. Someone I've met before, but in my dream I did not recognise this person. Everyone around me was warning me, telling me that I went straight into the arms of the devil, but I didn't see any harm. The scariest thing (for me) is that in the dream, there was no harm. I did start to remember the person at some point, but 'it' was harmless. And now I wanted to write something which I didn't think of yet. I wanted to write: 'I wanted to leave the past behind me, because we were good then'.

It was just a dream, I prefer to think. I know that it sounds like commonsense psychology, but there are also some real hypothesis (or maybe today more than that, it has been two years since I've studied Psychology and a lot can change) stating that in your dreams, you process the happenings from the day. But why do I dream about this? Like I just said, it could be that I am moving on from something, but why do I (we) need to dream about things that sometimes entail strong emotions?
Most people don't remember their dreams. I think it is not even necessary to remember, only if you want to contribute to some research. Usually, when you remember a dream, you woke up in the middle of it. Now this was not the case, I am very sure about that (maybe also because it just became a bad dream when I woke up, while dreaming it was okay), so how does it work?

After writing it down, my head feels clearer. I am not going to feel miserable about it.
