Have you ever had a dream in which you broke the law? They're really freaky.
Last night I had a dream where there was this office enclosed by a giant glass wall (those glass blocks like you see on some old buildings). Anyhow, I knew I needed to get a set of keys that were inside of that office, but the door was locked. So, I impulsively decided to kick at the wall, hoping I could just break a small enough hole in the glass so I could retrieve my keys. Instead, when I kicked at it, the WHOLE glass wall shattered into a million pieces. Instinctively, I ran all the way home and sat there petrified that the police would figure out who did it. I wondered if anyone had seen me, if my fingerprints were on anything, if the thing was taped, etc. The next day in my dream, my dad starts telling me about how someone vandalized this particular office, and about how they already caught the perpetrator. So I asked who did it, and he showed my the newspaper with a picture of a perfectly innocent man in handcuffs. Then, I woke up. That dream really shook me, as I never considered myself the type to break the law. And I felt like I had no control over having committed the crime. I try not to consider myself that impulsive of a person. The worry and guilt I felt in that dream were exactly like real feelings of worry and guilt. I immediately tried to recall all the details, because I wondered if there might be some symbolism in this dream. Have any of you had dreams like this before? What do you think it all means?
