3. In my opinion, Maya Angelou has a point when she says she doesn't even like to talk about her bad dreams because it gives them more power. To me it's the same thing with drama, fights, bad news, etc. I have noticed with myself if something bad or upsetting happens, the more I talk about it the more it bothers me because the more Im thinking about it. Talking about it also shows that it is something that you believe is worth talking about which gives it more power. The more you talk, the more people hear about it, so most likely they're going to talk, and the chain just keeps going. I think whatever you want to have power will have power.
4. I think dreams can do a lot of things, I believe they can reveal things about ourselves that we don't realize, reveal things that we're worried about or having thoughts about that maybe we don't want to admit. I say this because I have had dreams where I realized what had been bothering me so much and I didn't like it and I didn't want to admit it but I knew it was true. Dreams can be very powerful.
10. I definetly agree with Nathaniel Wests quote, "Easy reading is damned hard writing." When i write I usually want to get a point across but sometimes I just can't find the right words to do that. Thats probably the most frustrating thing to me when Im writing.
I can relate to what you said about our dreams revealing what we're worried about. I usually have bad dreams a week or two before school starts...usually the class is out of control or no one is listening or I haven't prepared for the day. I know that has something to do with all the uncertainty and planning associated with the start of school. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
