Last night I dreamt of Selena Gomez. Strange, I know... and she is not somebody I would think of or list in a "top 10 actresses" or "hottest people" or anything either. My daughter likes the movie "Ramona and Beezus" and my wife likes the move "Monte Carlo" both of which have her in them. I think she is pretty and all but to see her in a dream was a little surprising as she is a person I would normally think of as being very young.

In my Dream, however, I was young myself. I felt as if I was high-school aged. I was in a movie with Selena Gomez and I was in a scene where I saved her from drowning in a swimming pool or something. Unlike other dreams I did not have the memory of being married or the guilt of feeling like I was doing something wrong because I was married, or at least I did not have it as much as I have in other dreams. I remember being a stranger to Selena then after the scene we got to be friendly with each-other and hang out. We both had very similar personalities and senses of humor and were very flirty with each-other. It was really fun to be in that sort of "puppy love" with an attractive girl. It was very exciting and felt a lot like a movie. While we were walking with each-other I ran into a friend (Whom I knew in the dream but have no recollection as to who it was now.) and I got distracted walking with him. I ended up "ditching" Selena in that moment, and was abruptly woken up by a crying child.

I really wanted to get back into that dream because that being in love feeling just felt really good. I wanted to see things through a little further and was disappointing leaving like that. I fixed the situation with my child and layed back down. I tried to jump back in where I left off, and kind of did, but it was not the same at all. I was in the same dream but Selena was gone. I justified her being gone with her being mad at me for ditching her on our walk. I remember feeling bummed and trying to contact her but couldn't. She was gone. The rest of the activities I participated in felt empty, and I felt like she had moved on and gone on with her busy life.

I feel that this dream was non-lucid because as hard as I tried I could not get her to come back and get rid of that bummed feeling that I had. The 1-2 hours of sleep after I was woken up was very unsatisfying. I am a happy guy and I love my wife, we get along just fine, but that little puppy love feeling was just really fun and exciting. Being married for years you kind of lose that excitement. This is all I remember from last nights dream.

I am an almost 30 year old man, and am married with a couple kids. I have always been interested in dreams and the possibility of controlling my dreams. In a chat with a friend I mentioned I had a dream last night that I was disappointed I was awoken from. They mentioned "Lucid Dreaming" a term I have heard before but never really understood. I then went to wiki and read up about it. I find it very intriguing.

Throughout my life I have had a few dreams that I remember very vividly. I remember being young having a dream of being in a basement and climbing a pile of clothes to get from one level to another and the snuggle-bear popped out of the clothes.


I remember as a pre-teen dreaming of being in some sort of cave, and started turning into an almost nightmare when the ground started to move and there were spikes under the tile I was on and another tile was coming to squish me, then Indiana Jones appeared above and reached his hand down for me to grab and he pulled me to safety.


I remember another dream as a young adult encountering a girl who was running and I was chasing her. She had long dark brown hair and was very pretty. I remember she was crying and I finally caught her and assured her I would never let go of her. I remember being very emotionally attached or in-love with this girl. It was very pre-teenish puppy love movie feeling, something like "My-Girl" or something. The girl somewhat resembled a girl I knew and I thought it meant I was supposed to be with her... but no, that did not ever happen.

I hate the disappointment you get waking up from a dream where you were deep into a story without a conclusion. As a father I am often woken up abruptly by a child's crying. Dreams seam to be a powerful and a fun thing, and I would love to be able to control them and have some freedom in them.
