frustrating dreams

Wow, I hate when life sneaks into dreams when life is frustrating.  I’ve been getting annoyed with certain individuals online that misunderstand homosexuality, and thus are quite negative and even hateful.  It drives me nuts only because as potential Jedi they should have some compassion, and seek to education themselves, not fall into what their narrow political party tells them.  That’s the farthest thing from knowledge, and in my opinion the worst kind of ignorance because it’s arrogant and disguised as truth.

Anyway, so last night there were two people in my dreams that were highly annoying.  One was a very homophobic person who kept trying to emotionally hurt me.  But it didn’t get to me, I just laughed and moved on.  There was a woman who apparently really liked me, there was this crazy moment like in the movies where you leave them somewhere and they run after you and there’s a big hug.  I know, bizarre.  So most of the time we just walked around and didn’t let this other woman bother us.  I say woman, but we were all young, like our 20’s.  Anyway…there’s a wierd situation that happens later where the tormenter makes a comment that makes it sound like they were abused and thus real skittish about lots of things.  But I don’t know for sure.

The other person was a very random character.  I think I was in a bar type place, and this person was just freaking out, like a pent up bottle of rage.  He kept threatening to hit me, so I’m trying to calm him down, but keep my guard up.  I was real paranoid about getting hit.  So I finally grab his arm and put him into an arm bar to try to get him to chill out.  I ended up using a few moves I learned in the short aikido class I took a while back, and it worked.  This is important because usually in dreams I’m completely ineffectual against others.  I hit them, kick them, nothing.  But the aikido stuff, imobilizing the person, that worked.  Maybe that’s the message I should have noticed before, that for me, direct fighting doesn’t work.  So I’m going to look into the aikido options and see what I can do.

I can’t remember much else of the dreams, but I think I learned a bit anyway.
