Dream Narrative

I think that the reason Amabelle stops meditating on her relationship with Sebastien while she and Yves attempt their escape back to Haiti because one of the reasons she is constantly dreaming of Sebastien is due to the fact that she is no longer actively pursuing his physical body on the Earth and her psyche is compensating by conjuring up images of their relationship so that some sort of communion is possible.  My dreams are generally so vivid that when I wake up in the morning I have the sense that I have been out all night participating in whatever I happened to be dreaming about.  Additionally most of the time my dreams will bring to my attention some sort of fear that I might be hiding in the conscience world and helps me deal with it as I ponder it in the early hours of the morning.  I the dream world, and especially apparent in the literary dream narrative, your safety net is completely nonexistent in that all the minor fears/concerns that you have in your waking world have the ability to be extrapolated and explored.  Often times small fears or concerns have the tendency to be exaggerated and the dream then has the potential to turn into a nightmare.  Perhaps most beneficial to me at least is when the classification of my dreams border on dream and nightmare, especially ones that have elements of real life concerns and conundrums.  If the dream is purely euphoric and allows me to indulge in fantasy and gratification, it is unlikely that it will carry enough momentum for me to consider it after I have stopped sleeping.  If the dream is purely nightmarish then I have the tendency to write it off as such and not even want to ponder it.  If however the dream is a combination of the two, that is for example inclusive of people who I care about and some sort of scary supernatural element, then if I remember the dream the next morning, I start to think about what my mind might be turning over in itself at night.  This sort of dream analysis proves to be most beneficial to me as it generally has the tendency to stay in my head for at least the amount of time it takes me to shower and get ready for class.
