Bad Dreams or Should I Talk to My Plants?

So, let's say you get a recurring bad dream. Maybe not exactly the same, but the overall idea is always there. And maybe there is a tad bit of connection to reality in your dreaming, but it's definitely not there in present life. Like, if you have hurt yourself on thorns of a plant and now you get those god-awful gruesome nightmares where the thorns hurt your hands, face, get into your throat, blood all over. Well, my dreams aren't actually violent at all, just a lovely example.

The funniest thing is while you're having your frequent painful encounters with the imaginary plant, the real one is peacefully sitting somewhere outside, enjoying the sunshine, not hurting a fly. Yet your fear of all the bloodcurdling things the plant has supposedly done - who cares if it's just in your head - gets real. Yes, it is official, you are insane.

OK, speaking seriously it's sad that those stupid night experiences happening often enough slowly crawl into your life, messing with the way you perceive and deal with your "plant". Or maybe you were afraid of the thorns all along and it's a chicken and egg situation?

Either way, I probably should think about it less, so the dreams can just naturally go.
