Since last summer, I've been taking 5-HTP, which has really helped with my mood during the day, and my sleep at night. One of the ways I know that it helps my sleep is the incredibly vivid dreams I experience every night.
Last night I dreamt about being chased by a big gray bear the size of Godzilla. I kept climbing up poles, only to be caught with the bear's big claws and dragged earthward. A couple of times I made it to the top - about 20 stories above the ground, hanging on just a telephone pole. One time in the dream my weight made the pole fall over. I was chased over and over again, and caught over and over again, only to start running again. When I finally thought I was safe, the bear showed up again. The last time, paralyzed with fear, I waited to die. To my amazement, the bear tossed a pork roast in front of me, and then rolled on the ground playfully. He just wanted to give me food!
Then I noticed the giant white panther stalking me...
The best I can figure, this dream is about my career. I'm afraid to move up, afraid I'm not doing a good job, just plain afraid. But when I confront my fears, they disappear and actually turn out to be gifts.
I'm not so sure I want to deal with the giant white panther though...
