Hey peeps! Just some background story about my dreams:
I have been really stressed about something all week and I guess it was the perfect time for it to creep into my dreams as well. Without any further due, here it is:
Let’s call this mysterious guy in my dream john Doe!?!?!
So I was watching the 100th anniversary of cartoon network show with John and I fell asleep on his couch. Maybe he was sleepy too but I didn’t notice, but couple of mins later I was being transferred to my bed in his arms. I guess I was really sleepy so when he put me down on the bed, I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a hug saying “Thank you!”. And suddenly I could feel him sobbing. As if he was in a lot of pain. His face was buried in my shoulder and suddenly I was wide awake. His arms were wrapped around me too and he was hugging me as if he was scared of letting me go. And then in his faintest whisper he said,
“I am sorry, I didn’t know what to do. I am so sorry. Please help me. I am so sorry, I fucked it up between us. I am so sorry. Please take me back!”
I couldn’t say anything. All I could do was hug him. He was crying now. As if he had been holding this back all this time. I just hugged him and let him get it all out. Minutes later when things calmed down and he was feeling better I cracked a joke saying, “Well that escalated quickly”. He burst out laughing. He then looked at me, and smiled and kissed me. It felt heavenly. Better than any real kiss could ever have been. It was then his friends came into the room, and asked which is a better place to watch something on their laptop. Since it was my apartment, I told them they could watch it in the living room, just move everything to the floor.
Up until that point it felt real as if I wasn’t dreaming, and then suddenly he turned black and white, and I realized it was dream. I woke up with tears in my eyes. I wish John Doe was here.
Dream Part II:
I was back in India again with my parents and we were celebrating someone’s birthday and my mom decided to put the cake in the freezer and obviously it got all ruined. I was very upset because I am a cake lover. So I told her that we should get another cake because everyone is getting anxious and it’s not good to keep the guests waiting. She got upset that she is going have to go out again and this is going to be hectic because let’s face it, I still get nightmares about Indian traffic, even though I love it. Anyways, she had parked the car in the garage so she got it out and was waiting for me when she stopped dead in the middle of road. I turned towards her and saw that she was staring at something in horror. I turned around to see that there was an angry female kangaroo charging right at us. I couldn’t think of anything else, so I yelled “Run” and ran inside but I guess my mom didn’t hear it. Couple of mins later I heard my mother scream, and that’s when I woke up from my dream.
To say that I was terrified would be an under statement. I have been having these nightmares a lot lately, and I keep hoping that they would stop.
Also, I had another dream last night which I don’t remember much, but all I remember is that I was hanging out with my friends when I was watching tv and doing homework, when a skull appeared on the coffee table. My friends all ran to hide in the corners when I couldn’t move. Minutes later when nothing happened, they all came back and saw that I hadn’t moved at all, and they asked me if I knew what it was and I nodded, and then whispered, “It’s my skull”.
I am not sure what’s happening with me in the dream land.
