When you dream, what do you dream about?

When you dream,
what do you dream about?
Do you dream about
music or mathematics
or planets too far for the eye?
Do you dream about
Jesus or quantum mechanics
or angels who sing lullabies?

So what do YOU dream about?

My dreams have always been strange but I have a few persistent themes. I cannot handle any glassware in my dreams - drinks, bottles - anything I try and hold onto I drop, spill, or shatter. When I'm driving in my dreams I absolutely cannot stop at the limit lines to save my life... I always press my foot down on the brakes and skid into the intersection. Or I have dreams where I'm desperately trying to get a task done and no matter what happens I just cannot seem to complete the task.

Now I'm not much for dream interpretation (I had a therapist who once told me that a duck in my dreams that was nipping at my heels was definitely my father - that's a lot of hooey!), but all of these seem to happen when I feel a sense of helplessness or loss of control over the things that are happening in life. Interesting how the subconscious melds with the conscious to create some whacked out dreams.
