Dreaming Of Sand, Surf And Fishing!

by sharecropperbob

More often than not, my dreams at night are restful and relaxing.
 Usually they're replays of daydreaming visions I've had during
the day.  Most of my dreams are about fishing, the sand and the
surf and drinks with little umbrellas in them.  That could be
because I spend a lot of time during the day either fishing or
thinking about the one that got away!
 
From what I've read, it seems the more complicated your life is,
the more chaotic your dreams at night will be.  My one steadfast
rule of life is never doing any unnecessary thinking!  Adhering
to this imperative has permitted me to rarely ever have any
confusing dreams.  It's saved me a lot of money because I haven't
had to visit a psychiatrist to help me figure out what my dreams
might mean!

Last night my dream started with a soothing scene of the surf
gently rolling onto a sugar white beach. There's still a hint of
foggy mist near the water as the sun begins to push the morning
clouds aside, making the day warmer by the minute.

A pelican stands at water's edge waiting for anything edible
that might wash up on shore.   It slowly moves toward me, its
eyes focused on my bait bucket full of shrimp.  
No doubt it's seen other fishermen snatching a shrimp out of a
bait bucket, to know that there's an easy dinner if he can get
rid of me long enough to score a shrimp.

While sipping my last cup of coffee, my rod that was stuck in
the sand suddenly goes into spasms, as something out there in the
surf jerks on my line and turns the sleepy morning into a burst
of activity.  Grabbing the rod and setting the drag on the reel,
I pull back on something that felt like I'd hooked onto a
refrigerator.

After wrestling with the fish which turned out to be a nice
flounder, I tossed him in the cooler, stuck another shrimp on my
hook, and then threw my new bait out into the surf.  By now the
pelican was gone, disturbed by the frenetic activity that had
suddenly erupted near him.

Dream professionals agree to some point that dreams are
snippets, or memories of your daily experiences.  I've read that
somewhere I think, but it could be an original thought of mine,
which I hope it's not.  If it is, then I'm guilty of unnecessary
thinking and that could lead to all sorts of mental and physical
activity which might interfere with my fishing time.

Through the years I've learned to interpret my own dreams.  It's
not really difficult if you don't do any deep thinking during the
daylight hours.  I find it more satisfying to daydream about
things that I like to do, hoping that my night time dreaming will
be along the same lines.  It seems to work!   It's a better plan
than thinking about things like work and paying the electric
bill.  Those things will give you nightmares!

Our dreams are merely our brain replaying our daytime
activities, but not always in the same time frame as when we
experienced them.  All of our actions are stored in our brain and
get replayed at night through dreams. It may take years for some
of those experiences to rise to the surface; splashed across the
big screen of our mind while we're sleeping!

Some say that our brain is simply continuing the action that
our awake brain exercises every day.  That's why I try to keep my
mental activity to a minimum.  I've done a  a lot of excessive
thinking writing this article.  I'm sure I'll be punished for
this indiscretion.
