Another dreams filled night

Had a series of bad dreams last night that continued till this morning. Friends parting ways, death approaching, fears  suffocating. Why do we have these dreams to rattle us up?
Happy Monday to you!

While Sigmund Freud used the 'Interpretation of Dreams' to advance his theory of the sub- and unconscious minds, therapy research believes dreams are a way to understand the emotional trajectory of the dreamer (e.g., see https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01553/full).

That having said, one can still question if the dream that you "remember" after waking up was something you indeed dreamt, or was it a retrospective projection back in time and made you believe? You may be a Freudian or a therapist depending on which side of the question you lean towards.

Water babe

Well I'm not a water babe. I love the water but haven't learnt to swim till I signed up for the swimming classes last week. Since then I've learnt to bubble when under water, hold my breath and become a mushroom (weird thing to call the posture), float on water with head in water and now trying to learn to propel myself forward using my hands and feet. Coach Vidya also is trying to get us get over our fear for deep waters by making us straight jump into 10 feet water and come up by cycling (I call it kicking because I do seem to kick more than cycle) and try to stay afloat. Fear of water is slowly going away. I guess I'll be really happy when I've actually learnt to swim without breaks and increased stamina considerably to become an amateur swimmer. In the meantime, if I lose inches waist below and lose all those extra kgs I've accumulated over a period of 5 years, all the better. Noticed that I sleep better now. Don't mind the tan. Got a cream to take care ...

Disturbing

Yesterday my daughter 6 had a bad day at school, thanks to 2 incidents that she never expected to happen to her. In the first one, the teacher denied her request to go to the bathroom thrice. She landed up wetting herself and staying in the soiled clothes till she came home. The next incident makes me wonder at the teacher's ability to handle students. I do understand that every teacher is a human being first, and goes through a whole taxing process of handling multiple issues as best possible, trying to balance expectations and delivering the education that needs to reach young minds. So I really do understand why a teacher could snap. Young kids aren't easy to teach. So what's a teacher's reason to whack a kid who is not a troublemaker?
