Epic dreams (also known as Great Dreams or Cosmic Dreams) are so huge, so compelling, and so vivid that you cannot ignore them. The details of such dreams remain with you for years, as if your dreamt it last night. These dreams possess much beauty and contain many archetypal symbology. When you wake up from such a dream, you feel that you have discovered something profound or amazing about yourself or about the world. It feels like a life-changing experience.
Usually I sleep dreamless nights, but lately I've been slipping into dreams of adventure, romance, etc. I'm a hero in most, jumping buildings, climbing moutains, avoiding car crashes with a child in the backseat at 100mph. Having just graduated and attempting to move on to bigger and better things, perhaps I feel I have the whole world open to me, with an infinite number of adventures to have. Sometimes I even have grandiose delusions that I'm going to change the world someday, working at the NYC Dept of Health, or nursing sick people back to health in impoverished countries abroad. I feel like I have two forks in the proverbial career road. The first path represents all that I've been working toward these past few years, and the second path represents all the new passions and interests I've stirred up just recently. I think I fear most that I'll make the wrong choice. If only these dreams would turn prophetic.
