Dreams

Ok, so I usually post later in the day, but I thought this instance would be a great topic for a blog post.

I just woke up like...a half an hour ago from one of the best dreams I've had in awhile. It was a little wacky, I can understand that now, but I still can't stop thinking about it.

The dream started out with me and Jared Leto, a very upset Jared Leto. You see, Jared's girlfriend was very angry with him for some reason, and had locked him out of their hotel room...located inside the Home Depot. So, after a minute of dragging mr. Sobby around the store, looking for the hotel rooms, we ran into a booth selling bouquets of flowers. I picked out one for him, and instructed Jared to give the flowers to his girlfriend. He nodded as we walked up to the front desk and asked to be let into the room. The receptionist asked for Jared's ID, and immediately saw that the picture on it wasn't "up to standards". We argued with her for awhile, trying to convince the receptionist that he was indeed Jared Leto, until finally she let us go inside the room.

When I stepped foot into the room, the scene changed, and I was no longer with Jared. In fact, I was in a completely new dream. I could clearly hear the voices of my parents, but i;m not sure if I ever saw them. My mom was talking about going to her first UFC fight, and how tonight was going to be so fun because of it. Eventually, they left; but, I didn't really care, because I was with this guy:

Johnny motherfucking Richter. I'm sorry, did I just drool?
You can only imagine what my dream was about now.

So my question is about dreams in general. Why is that we dream about certain people out of the blue, can can we control what we want to dream about? I've always tried to control my dreams through lucid dreaming, externally influencing them, and even pleading with my subconscious to put someone in, just for one night.

For example, this dream is extremely strange considering I had little influence on place Johnny Richter in it. As for Jared Leto, that makes sense because I was wearing my 30 Seconds to Mars concert tee, and was talking to my mom about going to go see them in Seattle. I even understand where the flowers came from, because I was looking up my birthday flower yesterday (some of the flowers I saw in the booth actually). What's really bugging me is where my brain pulled Johnny from.

I haven't been listening to Kottonmouth Kings as much as I have in the past, and hadn't listened to them the day prior. So why is it that my brain pulls someone who I haven't thought about in a good while, and places them in a dream doing....that. Not that I'm complaining, in fact I tried to do back to sleep after I unfortunately woke up. The mind is a strange place...

Now, if I could get back to that dream, I could finish my research...if you want to call it that XD
