Thread: Feelings of inadequacy in the morning

Every morning I remember my dream. I know this because of the immense feeling of 'unworthiness' I get toward my dream- as if it contains something that I am not yet ready to know. When I do know what my dream is, I feel like an ant- as if my consciousness is but a peon to whatever is in my dreams. I wake up feeling like I just learned something that shouldn't be known, and in those moments I know I've known it before. The problem is that when I get up or move to write my dreams down I can only remember my emotion toward it and not the dream itself. Moving even a little chases the dream away entirely. It's as if I am stuck in a cycle of remembering.

I feel like if I get control of my dreams, I would have an unhindered access to my own subconscious and potentially the astral plane considering the emotions that run through me in the morning. The only problem is that I don't know if these are caused by the high pedestal I place on remembering my dreams or if there is actually something more to it. I am a bit of a skeptic when it comes to astral travel, premonition dreams and the like, but I feel like the only reason that I am is because I envy those who claim they do. At the very least, it's a damn good lucid dream; besides, if one believes they do, who are we to say they don't? But I digress.

Does anyone else experience this?
