This week, we asked YOU what's been on your mind and had you talking! We asked on our Facebook page to give us your topic suggestions. Several of you responded with the topics, life events, and more that's had your attention, and it inspired us to talk about them. It's something we plan to continue to answer and follow-up on in the next several weeks, so you'll want to stay tuned for your chance to respond.
We begin this new format with a topic submitted by Darien Mack. It reads:
"Something that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately is dream interpretations. Recently, I had a dream that my car went missing (as it would normally be parked/backed into my regular spot), but I kept clicking my lock button to see where it was. Instead, a blue hatchback was parked in my spot with the passenger side door being wide open. I heard Aaliyah’s “Back & Forth” playing in the background and it got to the part in the song where R. Kelly says “…be who you want to be.” Panicking, I was about to call my mom and then I woke up.
I interpreted it as a sign - the “blue” car with the door wide open represented the career I escaped from (ex. the police / “boys in blue”), me being lost/confused and ultimately finding myself / choosing to “walk away” from a dangerous / unfulfilling situation (which I ALWAYS said I DIDN’T want to my mom [a former cop] , but I was going to do it to make HER happy), and hearing the “be who YOU want to be” as my sign to start doing/thinking for MYself (not to sound self-centered, but I’m always doing for others, even if/when it’s at my expense).
In summary, I built up the courage to say “no” and am actively taking strides to become my own person and go for MY dreams (like becoming a psychologist and HR professional or CHRS-ER, “Certified Human Resources Specialist who specializes in Employee Relations."
So, we dive into the topic of dream interpretations! Denison has a history of studying what dreams mean, where they come from, and how they can impact our life. Details based in fact and psychological study are provided, showing their can be a connection to random or recurring dreams showing what you're dealing with in life. We also know there's the ability to control your dreams, called "lucid dreaming." We discuss what it takes to achieve that level of oneness with your dreams, and how it could be a gateway into another level of controlling your mind. Plus, why CONQUERING your fears can be accomplished your dreams. And, it all starts off with a follow-up on our Black Friday fallout. Why supply chain shortages and software malfunctions led to John ordering not one, not two... but THREE of the same couches! And why it's continuing to make this season's Holiday shopping one of the biggest shopping challenges yet.There's a lot to break down here.
