When my life is good I have bad dreams and when my life is stressful I have great dreams. For example, last night I had a dream that I was mowing the lawn at a house in New Orleans. I had a Mercury Marauder, a mint condition Foxbody Mustang, and my girlfriend from high school was my wife. I'm under a lot of stress right now, and that's probably the best dream I've ever had. When I'm doing well, I tend to have nightmares about killing people or being killed. Is this just my brain trying to balance itself out- or is this just based on what I subconsciously choose to remember?
