Dreaming

Dreaming. What is dreaming? Why do we dream? Do our dreams mean something? Everyone dreams, its a fact. Whether you dream about winning the big game, or marrying the love of your life; it is all dreaming and as humans we all do it. I don't remember most of my dreams, but I woke up this morning and remembered one dream in particular. I dreamed about my baptism. Now, I have had a lot of dreams in my life, but only a few (and I mean a select few) have been religious. Clearly I do not remember anything about my baptism, but during this dream I felt like I was there. I was being held by my parents and they walked me up to the priest and handed me to him. I was crying, for some weird reason I was crying. I thought for a minute and decided that when I got dunked, or when any baby gets dunked, he/she is crying tears of joy. Even though I do not remember a thing about my baptism, it is probably one of the most important events in my life. As a Catholic we are obliged to get baptized. During my dream, as I got dunked under the water, I thought of exactly the opposite thing people think of when they get dunked under water--"I am going to die" or "I need air to breathe." I thought--"Man do I feel alive, its like I am being reborn and am breathing the best air ever." I found this kind of funny, but true. When we are getting baptized we are reborn into Christ and our original sin is taken away from us. This was one of the most relaxing dreams I have had in a while.
