Dreams.
Dreams aren't just things we want to do but often they are things that we subconciously think about. We often dream about things we want or more often times than not we dream about things that scare us. Sometimes our dreams have meanings that we are unaware of, there is an entire study about the meanings of reoccuring dreams. A reoccuring dream I personally have had was that of a man kicking in my front door. The first time I ever had it was when I was a small child. It was terrifying to a young child to think about being kidnapped especially from your own home. I'd go weeks even months without having the dream and all of a sudden it would happen again. I thought maybe it was because my grandparents would tell me horrible stories of kids who went missing but as I have grown older I still have the same dream. It's almost always the exact same with every detail. The only thing that changes is the mans face. Sometimes he wears a mask and others you see a shadow or an actual face. This dream no longer scares me but instead I've chose to see positive in it. I see this dream as a warning of failure. Anytime I have the dream I make myself aware of what things could go wrong in situatins I'm currenty experiencing and make a list of what I can do to prevent that.
