Dream Entry

I generally dislike arrogant people. Not so much peple with confidence but arrogance, people who seem to have more of an ego than anything else. However I suppose all of that is relative considering I have friends who are quite....arrogant in their own way, but the fact that certain degree of arrogance appeals to me makes me ignore what is obvious to someone else.

The dream basically started in a house, or a familiar setting. It wasn't necessarily my house since some of the structure was different. The basement for one apparently was more open and larger, and it was more of a split level house in which the light came from a sliding door to the south.

Apparently someone was visiting us for his vacation and staying at our place. He was a few inches taller than me, caucasion, bald with hair on the side and a long face. I don't know who he was, but for some reason I went through a box of his things that he brought along with it. It looked like he was moving into the house. When I picked up something about twice the size of a thimble, it was a portable gaming unit. It was Nintendo, had an incredibly small screen, but being the dream world for some reason I could see fairly cleary what was on the screen.

I begin to play it when our visitor comes downstairs. I don't know why, but I try to hide the system that I took and played without permission. He didn't see me, at least I didn't think he saw me, but instantly in a snide way he accused me of touching his stuff. He was right of course, but it was in the arrogant tone that really grinded me. I probably spent the next few days trying to bear his ego and his comments. Usually when it comes to arrogant people, there are some things I'm willing to do in order to cope with them. One of them is try to be understanding and become their friend. If they are not my ally, then they are my enemy. Often this is come with little sucess, since any time I was sucessful, the said idiot mellowed out and accepted me, not vice versa.

But as the dream progressed and I felt more annoyed than relaxed I eventually woke up without any conclusion to the matter; dream-wise. But when I opened up my eyes I realized that it was my mind trying to tell me something. That my personal arrogance has gotten to out of control lately. Perhaps that's why I despise it so much because it reflects my own personality and faults. I've been taking it out on my family for the last half week, usually when this happens it lasts for a day or so, but for some reason I've been on a rampage of passive agressiveness. It does worry me a bit more than usual since this seems more serious and more drawn out.
