Yeah I sometimes think dreams that seem really silly aren't. Like for ages I was laughing about the dream I had about my therapist. It was the only dream I'd had. I dreamed I walked into a bowling alley and he was working there. I walked away thinking "what a strange job for a therapist to have on the side." I thought that was about the dumbest dream ever.

Later on, I realized it had meaning though: The bowling alley was located where the games room used to be at my college university. And I got involved with the guy who worked in the game room. He was the first person to try to seduce me. Now I'm not implying my therapist wants to seduce me (he doesn't), but he is the first person I've learned about real intimacy from. And that's even more significant than the sexuality I was learning about in my college days.

So sometimes the dumb has meaning.

But then again, there's the completely dumb: I dreamed my brother was holding up an x-ray (he's a doctor), and the x-ray was actually just a photo of him with no shirt on and his chest looking hairy. If there's any useful significance to that dream, I'll be darned if I know what it is!
