Sueños & Dreams

Being a fire-fighter, a swimmer, slim, helping students, traveling, paper planes, a music photographer, playing the guitar, music, love at sunset,

A dream of old friends and ceremonial stuff

I had another vivid dream. This time I woke up annoyed, and everyone in the dream was annoyed with me. I was at my old church in El Salvador. It was clear that I had been away for a few years, because everyone was grown and the place looked completely different (yet felt familiar). I had been hanging out on the 2nd level of the building and was wearing a fancy dress.. Some quinceañera type thing, but white... or cream. And I came to the main temple and everyone there looked bored. When they saw me come in they were like "finally! where have you been?" and then two of my friends and me when up on the podium... where couples usually get married, and just stood there. I don't know what kind of celebration it was, but I woke up and was so thankful I got out of that dream. It was so clear and so boring. I guess I'm not eager to go back to any church anytime soon.

Dreams!

Not the kind that drive you out of town, or make you go to college, or make you quit college to follow you passion and open a business and become a millionaire.

No.

I'm talking about the ones that make you travel when you sleep. Yes, make you travel. You go to new places, you meet new people, you experience crazy stuff. I've entered my vivid-dream cycle again. I never see it coming, but when it hits me it really hits me.

Babies talking, 80's clothes, scary buildings with killers, stairs to nowhere, theaters with screens on the ceiling, my dad, places I've lived in and places I've never been to.

I love these crazy dreams. Even when they're horror dreams. It's interesting to see what my mind is capable of.
