Another Strange Dream - Back To Basic(s)
I don't know whether it's true about what's said in relation to going to sleep after having big meals but I had a big meal last night and I had a strange dream, possibly a nightmare.
In my dream I was back at basic training but like my dream about being back in boarding school, I was my current age, rather than when I was 18. It seemed like a comparably less stressful experience than it was the first time around and we even had our own fridges in the barracks which was unheard of previously. During falling in time, we were even joking with the lady drill sergeant who had a good sense of humour.
At that point, the struggle between my subconscious and conscious minds began to surface as I began to realise that I had only about 10 days to go to my Run Out Date and being back in basic training was pointless, particularly since subsequently-discovered my skin sensitivities rifle oil precluded me from any combat activities, which would have included basic training.
The red mist was about to descend again I was about to get in touch with my solicitors to start judicial review proceedings against the Minstry of Defence (which would most certainly mean my appointment as a reserve Staff Judge Advocate would be revoked in a tit for tat move by the MOD in the typically petty way in which the Civil Service operates). I didn't care really but that never happened as my conscious mind won out and I woke up.
I don't know why I had this dream and whether it was anything to do with my having a large meal but even if that was the reason, why did I dream of me being back in basic training instead of the other more commonly recurring nightmares which I have involving my teeth falling out or being back in school and facing my A Level maths exam which I wasn't at all prepared for.
If anyone knows a good therapist who specialises in dreams, let me know. I think I need some help to understand my subconscious mind.
