I'm not quite sure what to make of this. I rarely remember my dreams, and I'm not even sure if it was a dream.. but I woke up this morning with some words running through my head. They seemed significant enough for me to write them down verbatim so I wouldn't forget, and I'm very glad I did, because I went back to sleep and completely forgot the incident ever happened.

The words were:

"You are only as good as your mind tells you you are."

Sounds like some pretty good inner wisdom there. Made a bit of a study of this over the years. Keep a pad and pen by the bed as, on most occasions, you will not remember the word when you awake.. You'll remember the essence and that is even more frustrating!

Also, don't stop with the initial words. Just let the words pour out, as a 'stream of consciousness' and you will be amazed at the marvelous texts you will write

I took it to have something to do with our own self-imposed limiting beliefs. What do you think? Some people are much greater than their self-image and others much less....

@TheoryNumber3 Sounds pretty good reasoning. A good resource for looking at dreams is Carl Jung. A title addressing them is something like Dreams, Reflections and something or other I think. I can't remember!

@Geoffrey51 yes I studied Jung and Freud workings towards my psych degree. Memories, dreams, reflections I think

I'm afraid the orange groper probably thinks HE is very, VERY good!

Obviously aliens or evil spirits are trying to influence your thoughts, I would sleep with tinfoil in your nightcap!

Oh that's what I did wrong. I put the tin foil in my shoe

I suppose i was thinking that I was the one in control of my mind and that that might well not be true.

I have been obsessing recently about being such a 'good' girl (I'm 70 so term 'girl' is loosely meant to be just part of a phrase)

It seems I have never learned how to be naughty as I was the most invisible child of abusive parents - and then very often the most invisible adult - the 'good' girl who does what needs to be done unnoticed, unannounced, unseen ,and I actually do 'find ' myself on here.

I don't think my mind actually tells me anything and I don't think 'I' am in control either I think my actions are just instinctive and I lead a quiet life.
