Dreams are weird.

I've had a couple terrifying dreams recently. The first makes more sense than the other. But both left me equally disturbed.

The first dream had to do with my car. In my dream, I'm in my garage, the car facing the garage door. I slam on my gas pedal. But my car is in the reverse gear, so my car shoots backwards into the wall. Both my car and I are devastated. Halfway through the dream I realize, wait a second, this is only a dream. And I'm instantly relieved.

The second dream has to do with a chick I used to date. In my dream, I get home from a night of drinking. I'm about to call up my cousin, but while flipping through my iPhone contacts list, I come across the name of a girl I used to date. I think to myself, "Huh, I haven't talked to her in a while. Let's say hi." She picks up the phone. I tell her I was thinking of her and wanted to say hi. She tells me that she thinks its inappropriate that I call her considering the things I said in our last conversation and hangs up. At that point I wake up and can't go to sleep.

Funny thing is, in our last conversation, things went really well. And we left it at that. But what she said in my dream still bothered me enough to wake me at six in the morning. I have to remind myself that this didn't really happen. And naturally, as most people do with dreams, I want to know the meaning behind it.
