Good morning & Happy Friday Steemit! I got to work this morning and after 45 minutes I was sent home. Early weekend! Feels like a vacation even though I still have my business at night. I haven't been able to remember a dream for a while, but this morning I was able to remember one! I thought I was going to have to wait til this evening when I got home to post this so I am glad I got off work as soon as I got there! I haven't even been able to focus on that many flash dreams but I've had a few. Looking forward to streaming all day or something but first...time to share my dream!
Flash Dreams
I call them flash dreams because just as fast as you get'em, they're gone. The process goes as follows:
When I lay down I get in my normal comfortable position and instead of tossing and turning until I fall asleep I clear my mind by focusing on what I see when I close my eyes. Everyone should see something similar when they close their eyes so you can do this too.
When I close my eyes I just stare at the blackness. Before I know it, it's not black but a purple blob morphing around with what appears to be stars zooming by. Different colors and streaks of light start popping out and as I focus on just what I'm looking at, my mind clears and before I know it an image or quick gif appears before me. Just as fast as it appears, it disappears. I've called these flash dreams, and I think they're pretty cool!
Smiling Girl
It was just a very detailed outline of a smiling girl. I could tell she was very pretty and the image appeared on the bottom left of my view. As soon as I tried to focus on the image, it was gone.
Metal Machine
A short gif image of a metal machine. It was a pump with a big arm that goes up and down like a piston. It actually reminded me of a crude oil pump. The big ones you see in the oil fields only smaller. It also resembled a Fusion Generator from the game Fallout 4 with an arm sticking out of it pumping up and down.
Now on to the dream.
Snooping In Someones Yard, and My Teeth Again!
My friend and I were snooping around someones house. We entered through the backyard. I didn't know who's house it was but I had this sinister feeling like we were about to steal something. As soon as we got to the front lawn someone was sitting on the front porch.
"What are you doing on my property?!" he yells.
"You wanna play games?! I got something for you then!" he shouts. He stands up and walks towards his front door and opens a secret compartment next to the door. There's a gun inside and he grabs it.
I told him we were just walking by, but that didn't convince him. He walked up to us and points the gun at us.
"Brian?" I said confused. "Hey man we weren't trying to do anything I swear!" It was literally a friend I went to school with. What are the odds? I thought. Since I'm caught and I know him, I may as well try to save our asses.
After he saw that it was me, he pointed the gun at my friend. "Well, I know you, but I don't know your friend!"
"No! Stop!" I shouted. Pleading with him to not shoot my buddy. He did it anyways and the reality of my best friend being shot kicked in. I immediately went to hug him in disbelief as he fell to the ground. With a blink of an eye, he was standing up again and the bullet hole in his chest was gone.
Brian was mystified. It was like the universe didn't want my friend to die and like magic everything was normal. We ran away.
After a minute or two of running, my front teeth started to feel extremely loose. It was very uncomfortable and felt like my teeth were about to fall out. As many times as I have these dreams where my teeth fall out, I would think that I would be able to determine it's just a dream. It was very real though. I was able to pull my right front tooth out and then I jammed it back in the hole and kept on running. As I am writing this now, I realize that I've had multiple dreams of my teeth falling out this month. I'm just now remembering because I wrote about it.
When I woke up, I had to check my teeth and I was relieved that it was just a dream!
Thoughts
I've known my best friend since we were in like sixth grade so I can see why I'd be upset that he got shot. What I don't understand is that the dude I know that shot him also knows my best friend. I feel like my desire to not have my best friend shot is what brought him back to life in my dream. Do I need to tell my buddy to watch his back or be careful? I could say that he's truly one of my only friends. Someone I know I can rely on. Every now and then I'll go weeks without calling my buddy, so maybe that was a reminder to keep in touch because I never know what tomorrow will bring.
So I've mentioned before that I feel teeth falling out dreams indicate major changes coming in my life. They've been repeating quite frequently now that I think of it so I wonder if it has anything to do with actual upcoming changes, or just my fear of losing teeth. A good friend of mine that lives here in superior got his top row of teeth kicked out when he was younger. He got jumped by a group of people and now he's got dentures, but he's missing his whole top row. Another friend of mine who is actually a streamer got elbowed in the face and his front tooth broke off. He put it back in and dealt with it, but after about a year or 2 it broke off and he couldn't get it back in. This literally happened in the middle of his live stream. Trolls would come in and make fun of him, but he handled them very well. Then there's my girlfriend. When she was dating her ex, he actually hit her in the mouth with a baseball bat or something. Over something stupid like not taking the garbage out. This pushed her 2 front teeth all the way back and she had to go to the hospital. Luckily they were able to straighten her teeth out, but they had severe nerve damage. Over time, they died and recently fell out. We are working towards what seems to be a $12,000 bill to get her dentures or whatever. Something top of the line. Her dad even offered to pay, so I may be in luck and might not have to pay for it afterall. (not looking for cheap ones). So I guess with so many close friends including my girl having lost some teeth, that fear of losing mine really sets in. Is it fear, or upcoming changes? Maybe a little bit of both.
Thanks for reading! Steem On!
I want to share my dreams exclusively with the Steemit community!

How to Remember Your Dreams
It is good practice to have a dream journal next to your bed if you want to remember them. That's right. Good ol' fashion pen and paper. [Okay, a laptop or your favorite hand-held device can work too] This way, the second you get up, you take 5 minutes to write down as much as you can remember before you start to forget. Spend some time re-reading, even throughout the day, and you might even start to remember small bits and pieces for you to add. If you keep this practice consistent, you will soon begin to start remembering your dreams with more detail, effectively able to write down what you dreamed.
Just remember, all it takes is 10 minutes to forget your dream. You must perform this exercise during your first 10 minutes of waking up.
