So, I’ve been digging into this whole Achilles’ dream thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started off just poking around, you know, just curious about what dreaming of Achilles might mean. I mean, the guy’s a legend, right? Super strong, brave, the whole nine yards. So, I figured, dreaming about him’s gotta mean something cool, yeah?
First off, I started jotting down whenever I had a dream that felt like it had some Achilles vibes. You know, battles, feeling invincible, or sometimes, the opposite, feeling weak and vulnerable. I was writing down everything, it’s like, I was my own dream detective.
- Waking up feeling like a warrior. Sometimes, I’d wake up feeling like I could take on the world. I figured those were the days my dreams were channeling that Achilles strength.
- Then there were those other days. Waking up feeling like I had a literal weight on my chest. I started wondering if it was connected to that whole Achilles’ heel thing.
I remember this one dream, I was in a battle, but it was more like, I was watching it from above. And there was this dude, looked just like Achilles, getting all worked up, super angry, but then, he started to chill out, started making friends with the people he was fighting. It was weird, but it got me thinking, maybe it’s not just about being strong, but also about, you know, getting along with people.
I spent a lot of time writing down those thoughts, trying to connect the dots between my dreams and what I knew about Achilles from all those stories. I didn’t just stop at the dreams. I went through my days thinking, “What would Achilles do?” Not in a fight, obviously, but like, how would he handle tough situations?
Trying to Be More Achilles-like
- Facing fears head-on. I used to avoid confrontations, but then I thought, Achilles wouldn’t back down, so why should I?
- Being more loyal to my friends. Achilles was all about his buddy Patroclus, right? So I started making more of an effort with my own friends.
I kept at it, day in, day out. Writing, reflecting, trying to apply these lessons. It was like, I was trying to unlock some secret code in my dreams to become a better person, not a warrior who killed a bunch of people, but just being able to understand what my weak point is and use it to become a better person. Sounds crazy, but it felt like I was onto something.
And you know what? It kinda worked. I started feeling more confident, more in tune with myself, my strengths, and yeah, my weaknesses too. It’s like, by thinking about Achilles, not just as this invincible hero, but as a dude with his own struggles, I started to figure out my own stuff a bit more. It’s been a trip, really, turning those weird dreams into something I could actually use in my life.
