      My dad.

      I made a post on 6-19-08 about my Dad. Here, I'll paste it:

      "This isn't just one dream, but it's nearly every dream that I have involving my dad. In each dream with him he is either extremely mean to me, for no reason at all, or he dies in my dreams.
      Mostly by a gunshot from a robber or something terrible.

      Could there be any reason why bad things are always happening to him in my dreams? I really can't remember one where he is happy or fine throughout the whole dream.
      In real life I don't really talk to him much, though I live with him. I'm just mostly with my mom or siblings or just away in my room minding my own business.
      Any ideas?"

      Well, This year, on March 31, 2009 my dad passed away because of a heart attack.
      And every time I'd see him before that, I'd just stare at him and think "He won't be here forever, I should become closer to him" etc.

      I never did and I regret it. :[

      When It happened I told myself that I should've listened to my inner voice instead of continuing to be mean to him and ignoring him.

      This kind of thing always happens to me, especially before my dad died.
      I sort of had a clue what was going to happen before it happened, yet I ignore whatever is telling me these things and just forget it.

      Since my Dad died, I've been trying to listen to this "voice" and when I don't, bad things happen.

      Idk if anyone else has something similar happening to them, It'd be nice if you could share some stories or maybe help me understand what this is.

      I feel like whatever is telling me these things isn't strong enough, and maybe that's why I don't listen.

      Thanks for reading <3

      Hm this voice inside you talk about reminds be very much of an essay called Self-Reliance by the philosopher Ralf Waldo Emerson. A good thing to do I think would be to try to observe the thoughts that made you ignore that voice, did you really believe them? or do you think they came from a more superficial level? Listening to that voice inside over everything else I think is a very important thing people need to practice.

      "A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty."

      If you think that voice isn't strong enough, maybe there are other thoughts that are clouding it that are coming from a more untrue level.

      "These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members. Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater. The virtue in most request is conformity. Self-reliance is its aversion. It loves not realities and creators, but names and customs."

      hope that helps somewhat

      Just because these "voices" are not very strong, it does not mean to just sorta put them off to the wayside. Perhaps you should start keeping a Dream Journal (DJ) and analyze these dreams you have. When you begin doing this, maybe you can pick out the things that bother you in dreams and fix them in waking life.

      Also: Don't kick yourself for not listening to these voices about your dad before his passing. They're just dreams, so how were you supposed to know to pay specific attention to them?
