SOOOOOOOO.......Tomorrow nat goes to Beijing for a week. humuna humuna!!!!!!! I'm a little nervous about the language thing, and the long flight, but I'm sure it'll be fine. On an unrelated note (or IS it???) I've been running into so many people from back in the day lately. All in all, I've probably run in to at least four people in the last week that I thought I'd never see again. People from high school, people from old jobs, friends from back-in-the-day, it's trippy. It's almost as if my life is flashing before my eyes. Hope my flight doesn't go awry. fingers crossed. Knock on my wooden head. I've also been having lots of train and bathroom dreams again. Not sure what that means. Here's what I found at www.dreammoods.com :
Bathroom

To dream that you are in the bathroom, relates to your instinctual urges. You may be experiencing some burdens/feelings and need to "relieve yourself". Alternatively, it may symbolize purification and self-renewal. You need to cleanse yourself, both emotionally and psychologically.

To dream that you are in a public restroom with no stalls, signifies your frustrations about getting enough privacy. It may also indicate that you are having difficulties letting go of old emotions. If you reveal these feelings, you are afraid that others around you will judge and criticize you.

To dream that you can not find the bathroom, signifies that you are have difficulties in releasing and expressing your emotions

Your dream may serve to be some sort of advice to you. Using the toilet represents letting out your emotions, fears, and worries. And the notion that you are exposed from the waist up highlights your need to get something off your chest. You need to let your feelings show!

You go to the bathroom in a stall where there is little space. To some degree, you are trying to keep your feelings and emotions to yourself. What you need to do is share them with others, as the waist-high door demonstrates. Get over your fear that you might be judged or criticized.

To see a train in your dream, represents conformity and go along with what everyone else is doing. You have the need to do things in an orderly and sequential manner. In particular, if you see a freight train, then it refers to the burdens and problems that you are hauling around.

To dream that you are on a train, is symbolic of your life's journey and suggests that you are on the right track in life and headed for the right direction. Alternatively, you have a tendency to worry needlessly over a situation that will prove to work out in the end.
