A couple nights ago I had a dream that I found very empowering:
I dreamed that I was back in junior high school as a 14-year-old (about 18 years ago) and hung out with my school friends during recess, and we acted like guys that age typically do - very casual and talkative, slightly sarcastic towards each other in a playful way and lots of spontaneous behaviour (for example, I remember yelling "Yes! I am invincible!" whenever I was happy about something that I had done back then, just because I was a huge fan of the movie "GoldenEye").
And this dream was very significant because it made me "reconnect" with my old self, so that I sort of got a new feel for my old personality.
This has been very hard for me to do ever since I quit junior high school since I lost contact with a lot of people from back then, and at my current university I didn't really know anyone in the beginning and was apparently too slow to make contact with my classmates, and even though they approached me several times I didn't really feel comfortable with it and became kind of a loner.
But now, after I had this dream, I have actually noticed that I have started acting a lot more bold around people.
Instead of avoiding eye contact and saying some careful "...hi" to the classmates that I meet, I now instead look them directly in their eyes and go "hello!", and I also feel that I smile a lot more often and gaze forward instead of slightly down.
The best thing about all of this is that I actually notice that other people at my campus have started to act more comfortable around me as well, which gives me even more confidence and kind of creates a positive snowball effect.
Have you ever heard of anything like this before?
I really did feel like I started to change right after I had had this dream.
