Why would we, or I, get freaked out by it? A dream remains a dream, nothing too special about it. I'm sure just about everyone woke up (non-sexual) sweating. You could consider it the same as hate, in that case. Despite that I was not able to dream for years, when I could, I woke up more than often with a 'hating' feeling for someone or tears in my eyes. Once upon a time, I even wake up with a 'loving' feeling, but I usually keep such things private =) Discussing my bed time rituals goes a little too far for my liking, and others, I am sure.
But waking up with a pure feeling of hate, sorrow or love is... well, common is the word, but it just happens from time to time.
Coincidence or not, I happened to dream, or remember my dream this night.
I remember... walking at a 'certain' mall which is not too far from where I live. Quite a big place actually, and the perfect place to hang around with some friends if you're not too old just yet. Not to mention that two (and one elementery) schools are placed pretty close, so during breaks, it's often crowded with school kids/students. I still come there from time to time, because I worked for a toy store there and am still friends with the boss of the shop. *sigh* I miss that time.
Anyway, I remember walking there in the mall. I can't really remember what I was doing there since I don't like shopping. Strangely enough, while passing a clothing store, I saw a girl on a ladder. Though that isn't all that special normally, it came as a surprise that it was someone I know... or knew, is perhaps a better description. Despite that I tried to regain contact with her one and a half year ago, I didn't manage to. We lost contact when we both graduated after being classmates for three straight years. In my last year, - and last few days - I finally started to
like her, but was too shy and too inexperienced to make a move. In the end, I messed it up. I kept a memento of that day. Anyway, by seeing her, I apparently decided to walk in the story and speak with her. In all honestly, though I would certainly do so in a non-dream as well
P) I wouldn't say what I did say at that moment.
Without doing anything remarkable, she walked to me and asked if she could help me. I remember nodding and suddenly she asked what kind of music I liked. In all honestly, I can't see a connection between the question, the place and the situation; especially because it is a clothing shop. What perhaps surprised me the most is that I answered after a few "uh's" and "ehm's" with "Trance", which came to me as quite a surprise since I have no specific liking to trance. Though I won't back off when I hear it - which I would with a certain other music - I won't be listening to it for enjoyment either, normally. I also noticed that she didn't recognize me as she saw me as a stranger and I didn't say who I was.
After saying "Trance", she looked around and told me to follow her. We apparently walked out the store and walked to a place I couldn't recall existing, even though I know every bit of that mall by now. Wherever we were, there were a few boxes and other stuff where clothing was in, or up. She walked to a box and pulled up from the box some kind of shirt, saying it used to be of someone. She said a name, but I pretty much immediately forgot the name, though that is quite common for me
I looked at the shirt and took it from her, keeping it in front of me to see the size of it. I also noticed that the box had some other things in it as well, which I didn't recognize. It clearly wasn't much stuff, since I could easily see the bottom of the box between some stuff. Not to mention that I am still asking myself why I saw certain stuff in that box while I earlier visited a clothing stuff and it was still about clothes. Oh well...
Anyway, while I kept the shirt in front of me - which
clearly didn't fit. If I was about a meter taller, (which would make me the biggest guy on earth, probably
) perhaps I'd fit then - I... suddenly can't remember it clearly anymore. Hmm...
There was something... she said, I think, that made me talking. Even though we talked about something random, she still didn't recognize me (who can blame her, I grew
A LOT (far more than the average) in a very short time, I changed my hair style, my hesitating voice changed and (perhaps the most shocking
) I shaved) and I still didn't introduce myself to her, or gave even a hint that I knew her. Though I thought about the fact that she recognized me but didn't show it, something like that would be impossible. The random things we talked about were
also situations I recognized and some I even have been part of. What might be a nice addition, I didn't see much of a change of looks in the one and a half year of time I've seen her, though that is probably because I can't imagine a different image of her. Though I found it remarkable that the last time I saw her, she colored her hair black, she had her usual dark red hair in the dream and on the last day I saw her, she bought a new black coat, she was using her old (torn) blue coat again. Normally, when I dream about people I know, I usually don't think of them of how I used to know them. Apparently this is an exception.
But while talking, something about pregnancy eventually came up. Though I remember listening carefully to what she said and giving answers on whatever I could, I can't remember what she, or I said. The reason why I dreamt of pregnancy is probably because the girl next door (who is six months younger than me) recently was found pregnant. While we talked about pregnancy, I remember that I was surprised in a way, but not at all surprised in a different way. Because of her personality and the opinion of all other people during classes I didn't expect her to find a guy all that easily, that
could have been the case why I liked her as well. The other way I was not surprised was because I could see it coming, apparently. But while talking about it, her ex-boyfriend, or whatever he was, eitherway, he was supposed to be the father appeared. Even though I could see his face clearly, I have my doubts about who he was. He could have been the (ex-)boyfriend of the best friend of that girl, or he was a classmate of mine in the year I am in now. Either could have been possible because I learned a year ago that the best friend of that girl and that (ex-)boyfriend of her broke up, so I wouldn't be surprised if he would have gone to her. Would it be the classmate of mine, I wouldn't be surprised either since it was recently revealed that he is a father of a child and therefore he didn't have a very good "opinion" about girls.
Anyway, when that guy (dark skinned, bald) came in, I looked a bit confused, I clearly remember that. I also remember them shouting about something. Which I strangely enough remembered well when I started writing this, but forgot by now. Whatever they were shouting about, it eventually ended up with the ex-boyfriend leaving.
It becomes a little blurry now though. I remember vaguely that I went to the girl and tried to comfort her a bit, like I usually do when something like that happens. I remember something about saying my name to her, and I finally woke up. A nice addition to it might be that I overslept. I woke up an hour later than I had my alarm set. My alarm doesn't stop from itself, like some other clocks/alarms after a certain time, so it apparently has been 'beeping' for a full hour.
Anyway, that is what I dreamt this night. It gave me something to think about at least, but it also revived my anger to myself again, the reason why I used to hate myself, (unfortunately for both) and a question that I had been thinking of for about five months by now. I recently stopped thinking about it because I hoped to forget the whole situation, but apparently the moment I'll forget it, I'll be reminded by something, someone or whatever other option there is. As if... I am forbidden to forget it.
Well, my dreams usually don't make much sense in the beginning, but after thinking about it a few times, I usually realize that there is something 'remarkable', 'special' or something 'important' in it, something that I must not forget. Though I have yet to find this one.
