"It is with great sadness that I tell you that the Dragon is gone. RJ left us today at 2:45 PM. He fought a valiant fight against this most horrid disease. In the end, he left peacefully and in no pain."

I'm so emotional at the moment, that I can barely see through my tears to type. I literally worshiped at the altar of this mans creative genius, and eagerly awaited the each and every fragment of his vivid dream of a far off place and time. Robert Jordan, you will be missed by your family, friends, and millions of fans. I think I speak for many when I say:

"The light shine on you, Lord Robert of House Jordan. May you shelter in the palm of the Creator's hand and the last embrace of the Mother welcome you home."

My dreams are always weird, and to me at least, seem to defy common explanation.

Some of my dreams reflect current trends, and while those are a bit easier to understand, do they really mean what I think they mean? Like when hungry, I tend to dream about buffets; this seems normal, but the location, situation, and people around me in these dreams are bizarre! Others of my ex girlfriend seem somewhat normal, but again there is always some strange element or situation going on that defies understanding.

Take one of my reoccurring dreams for example. Unlike most peoples recurring dreams, mine are never ever same in setting or circumstance, but the overall theme is the same. In tonights case, the plummeting elevator dream is what i'm going to be exploring.

In these elevator dreams the common theme is an elevator out of control, or under the control of a mad man. We can be going up at horrific speeds, or falling so fast that we are thrown around the car like rag dolls. The elevator car, the building, the other people (or lack of people) is always different between the dreams, but the out-of-control-ness and the fact that no harm ever comes to us; we are always able to get out of the car safely at some point remains the same dream to dream.

I looked up elevator dream imagery online and found this:

Elevator

To dream that you are ascending in an elevator, signifies that you will quickly rise to status and wealth. You may have risen to a higher level of consciousness and are looking at the world from an elevated viewpoint. Descending in an elevator, denotes that misfortunes will crush and discourage you. The up and down action of the elevator may represent the ups and downs of your life go emerging out of and submerging into your subconscious.

To dream that the elevator is out of order or that it is not letting you off, symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control.

Seems like a lot of BS to me, like they just thought about what the image could be and went with that. I don't think this holds true for my dreams, but I have no idea what they do mean. Its very disconcerting knowing that your mind is trying to tell you something, and you have no idea what its trying to say :/
