Just before I woke up I dreamed that I didn’t go to work today because I was sick. Once I woke up I told myself that I was being silly. I wasn’t sick, I just didn’t feel like going to work because we’re training a project and I’d already suffered through the training once. (today was the training for the people immediately below us. we only had to attend to discuss the minor changes the DOE made since our training on the week before last)
But… as soon as I got to work I found that I couldn’t breathe and needed to use my inhaler. By midday I was light-headed, unreasonably tired, had chills, a headache… Apparently my dream was trying to tell me something: I seem to be coming down with a bug.
Though I don’t believe that dreams can predict the future, I think they’re occasionally useful in this way - they can shed light on things you’re not fully conscious of yet. By eleven I wished I’d stayed home like the dream told me to!
How about you? Have you dreamed something that you regret ignoring later? Or maybe the other way around, did you dream something that you heeded and it turned out better than it might have otherwise?
