echoes in my brain

Today I woke up with this song in my brain. I have no idea how it happened. I can't even remember the last time I heard said song. Also I think it is dumb. And yet it seems that my brain disagrees. Or at least my unconscious brain does.

Dreaming is strange, isn't it? There are all sorts of theories as to why we dream and hundreds of books and websites claiming to be able to analyze our dreams. My friend Harold dreams all kinds of crazy dreams and for a time she would look up meanings about her dreams online. They pretty much never made sense. But sometimes they are funny. Like once she had a dream that had scissors in it and the interweb told her: 

Scissors
To dream that you are using scissors, denotes decisiveness and control in your waking life. Alternatively, it may suggests that you need to get rid of something in your life. It also represents your ability to cut things or people out of your life. Perhaps you are being snippy about some situation.

Note the clever play on scissors and the word snippy. You gotta love it!

Ok, so now let's analyze my dream, or rather, the simple fact that I was dreaming about that song I mentioned earlier. Some key words might be song, phone, kiss. And the analysts say....

Telephone
To see or hear a telephone in your dream, signifies a message from your unconscious or some sort of telepathic communication. You may be forced to confront issues which you have tried to avoid. Alternatively, the telephone represents your communication and relationship with others.

Wait. So a telephone signifies communication? That is so wacky and crazy! I would have never guessed that on my own. But wait, there's more:

Cell Phone
To see or use a cell phone in your dream, indicates that you are being receptive to new information. It also represents your mobility.

A cell phone represents mobility?! Where are they getting this stuff? Classic.

Kiss
To dream of a kiss, denotes love, affection, tranquility, harmony, and contentment. To see others kissing in your dream, suggests that you are too involved in their personal lives and relationship.You need to give them some space. If the dream ends just about you are about to kiss someone, indicates that you are unsure of how he or she really feels about you. You are looking for some sort of relationship with this person but you are not sure about how to go about achieving it. If you are heterosexual and you dream that you are kissing someone of the same sex, then it represents self-acceptance. You are acknowledging the feminine or masculine side. 

To dream that you are kissing someone's hand, signifies respect.

 

To dream that you are kissing someone else's boyfriend or girlfriend, indicates your wish to be a relationship and to experience the energy of love. You may be sexually acting out. You may also need to awaken your passion. Alternatively, it indicates a lack of integrity on your part. If you are kissing a close friend, then it represents your respect and adoration for your friend. It may or may not signify a romantic interest for him or her.

   

To dream of kissing an enemy, signifies betrayal, hostility, or reconciliation with an angry friend. Consider also the saying "this kiss of death". If you are kissed by a stranger, then your dream is one of self-discovery. You need to get more acquainted with some aspect of yourself.

They don't say anything about kissing a phone or through a phone... I think this site is a little behind the times.

Songs
To hear or write songs in your dream, indicates that you are looking at things from a spiritual viewpoint. Your future path is a happy one with good health and much wealth. Consider the words to the song that you are dreaming about for additional messages.

I'm not sure that I would associate Soulja Boy with spirituality, but I like the idea of good health and much wealth. Interesting that it says to point to the words of the song for additional messages, though. Let's see...

Baby you know that I miss you, I wanna get with you tonight
But I cannot baby girl and that's the issue
Girl you know I miss you, I just wanna kiss you

Kiss me thru the phone, see you when I get home

Well despite the lyrical variety, there does seem to be a theme: I miss you. Huh. So, taking everything into account, my dream seems to be telling me that I am missing someone that I love. Oh, probably my boyfriend who lives in Michigan. Wow. Pretty deep: my dream self thinks exactly the same things as my awake self. If only my dream self could be a little more sophisticated...
