I had 2 back to back dreams which shared a common theme.
Dream 1: there were three greyhounds racing around a track, and they were approaching the finish line. They eventually finished 1, 2, and 3 - not a huge margin between them, but enough to see. The camera took the photo to show who finished first, second, and third. The greyhounds then walked out an exit, but one of the trainers was upset that they were walking out together, rather than in the order they finished. But the greyhounds didn't care; they just wanted to be with each other.
Dream 2: I was with Chris Pratt's character from Parks and Recreation. We were working in a supermarket, and we did a couple of tasks. The first one was preparing some spices, and we had to prepare the raw ingredients, and then grind them. That was fun. And then the other task was putting shredded cheese in plastic containers, so that other ingredients could be added to them. Chris Pratt was having fun and joking around, and just having a blast doing the activity (just like his character in the show). He just had fun doing the task for itself, and could find delight in it for it's own sake.

the take away? I felt fun and bouncy on waking up. I think the message of both dreams is to be less competitive about how I approach things. I think I still have a distortion that says - "I have to succeed to be accepted", and that comes from my family's programming from the earliest time. I guess it's still there after all these years, even though I've tried to go my own route in life, and not use society's standard of success, I became enslaved to my own notions of success and progress. Which is funny, because someone shared a dream with me a little while ago where I was trying to be ultra competitive with them in the dream! So these things lead from one to another, and we eventually get the message
