Post No. 1

Second half of the year begins today as I start a new blog, which is aimed at documenting some dream tales, researches and interpretations.

If you happen to stumble upon this site and you would like to contact me for whatever reason, you may send an offline message through the Yahoo Messenger for crypticmess or e-mail me at crypticmess@yahoo.com.

Dreamt of 10Jun last night. (Slept @past 2 am after playing Literati with different Yahoo! gamers.) Apparently he's friends with "Jason," who borrows my car and returns it damaged. In another "episode," JojoP is there; we're in the old house. We are playing poker!!! Yet I don't know how to play the game and I am aware of it (in the dream)... The stakes are high...

Let's see what Keen Dreams will say.

POKER
Playing cards or watching a card game should serve as a general warning to be careful with your money. However, specific cards in certain suits have individual meanings that should be taken into account. The meanings for the face cards are as follows: King Clubs: You will receive assistance from a friend. Diamonds: You are in danger from an older man in a position of power. Hearts: You have found, or will soon find, true love. Spades: You will encounter opposition in attempting to achieve your goals. Queen Clubs: You need to straighten out your complicated love life. Diamonds: You will receive some good news concerning property. Hearts: You can expect to receive some happy romantic news. Spades: A misplaced confidence will lead to a nagging worry. Jack Clubs: You could suffer a loss through deceit and trickery. Diamonds: You will be receiving a gift or inheritance. Hearts: A new romance will make you very happy. Spades: There is a rival working against you.

CAR
The accelerator is often a symbol for control issues in your life. If you have a driving dream in which you are controlling the car's increasing speed, it means you will achieve your goals through hard work and perseverance. But if you dream that the accelerator is stuck and the car is out of control, it should be taken as a warning about a habit that could turn into an addiction.

"If you're going to understand human behavior," says Rosalind Cartwright, a chairman of psychology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, "here's a big piece of it. Dreaming is our own storytelling time—to help us know who we are, where we're going and how we're going to get there."

Why do I have vivid dreams all night long, every single night, while others say they never dream?

Barbara Kantrowitz: Unless you've had a brain injury or are taking certain kinds of medication, you dream every night. However, it is true that some people remember their dreams and others don't. There are many reasons for this, but researchers say that generally people who are more introverted and more psychologically oriented are more likely to remember their dreams. More practical people—doers rather than thinkers—are less likely to remember their dreams. You're also more likely to remember your dreams if you get a good night's sleep and wake up naturally (without an alarm).

Barbara Kantrowitz has been an editor and writer at NEWSWEEK since 1985. She has written dozens of cover stories on education and family issues and has won numerous awards for her work. She is also a published fiction writer. A graduate of Cornell University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Kantrowitz lives in New York with her husband and two sons.
