Dreamer

Lady Dark Side's remembrances of past dreams.

I had a weird dream last night, she said. I was on a date with some guy. It wasn’t you. Sorry, I know you don’t want to hear that, but I’m just telling you the facts. Okay, so we had a date an things were going really well. And then I was driving along with someone. I think that might have been you. We were going through this dirt path and there was some really thick forest around us. And then I had a baby in my arms. I don’t think it was mine. It must’ve been my sister’s or…well, anyways, I had this baby in my arms and we drove up to a clearing where there was a big bonfire. Some of our friends were there, surrounding it and wearing these brown and green hoods. Like some cult. And the sky was this weird burnt red and grey. Kinda like a sunset but not. So ya, we get out of the car and I see that we are standing at the edge of a cliff and our friend try to lure us towards the fire because of this pearl that I have. I forgot to mention that. So I freak out and throw the pearl off the cliff and our friends get mad at me. I don’t know where you are at that point. I think you are at the bonfire. Sorry, I just don’t remember. So anyways, I jumped after the pearl, holding the baby, and I am just free falling through the sky. And it turns out we were on some floating island. Anyways, as I’m falling, the baby is screaming louder and louder and the clouds are turning blacker  and sky is turning redder. And I see the pearl below me. But out of the clouds come out these hands, like the hands of the gods that the cult was worshiping. And these god-hands started to wrestle for the pearl. And I don’t know…I just felt this sense of…betrayal. Like there was something I believed in that and that everyone else believed in and then it just turns out to be some greedy thing…just so human. And I wished I could’ve showed our friends at the top of the cliff how false our belief was…anyways, I fell past the fighting gods and that’s when I jumped out of bed. Sorry for waking you up, I just….I don’t know. I felt like something in all of that mattered…it was just vivid that I didn’t just feel it…I felt like it meant something. Anyways, I’m just keeping you up with some dream. I think I’m less shaken now. Thanks. But I think I’m ready to go back to bed.
