The nightmare begins when I acknowledge the fact that I'm floating. I immediately stop my ascent, as I'm frozen, paralyzed, hundreds of feet off the ground. My foggy mind races, frantically grasping for a solution, for a way out. And the entire time, my eyes are squeezed shut. Something latches onto my ankle, dragging me down. I try to stop it, I thrash and grab at it, but it's no use. My screams are only heard in my head. I can feel the ground rushing up to greet me, closer, closer-
My eyes fly open.
The only real thing that greets me is a ray of annoyingly bright sunshine shining directly on my face. I cover my head with a pillow and try to gain a few more minutes of sleep, but it's no use. My subconscious gave me a nice adrenalin shot. Looks like I'm up for the day.
I suddenly acknowledge the fact that I had a dream. My hand flies up involuntarily, automatically grabbing my dream dictionary. I grasp onto the keyword details of the dream, flipping through the pages to decipher their meaning. Let's see, floating, fear, dragging, ground… what else was there? I stick with what I have and try to understand my dream to the best of my ability. I find the following definitions.
Floating
To dream that you are floating on air indicates satisfaction, contentment and acceptance of some situation.
To dream that you are floating in water suggests that you have a handle on your emotions.
To dream that you are floating, but are afraid to move suggests that you are questioning your own abilities. You are experiencing doubts in yourself.
Fear
To dream that you worse fears are coming true signifies your resistance to change. You are afraid to confront the unknown aspects of yourself.
Ground
To dream that you are on the ground represents your foundation and support system. It is also the boundary between your conscious and subconscious. You may be getting closer in confronting and acknowledging your subconscious thoughts.
So… I guess I'm afraid of questioning my own abilities, and I'm being dragged toward the boundary of my conscious and subconscious. Huh. That really doesn't make much sense, but I decide not to fret over it. Divining dreams is not always easy.
Dream divination has fascinated me for ages. I'm always trying to figure out what my subconscious is trying to tell me, and others. Luckily I have a big group of quirky friends with quirky dreams for me to gush over. And speaking of said quirky friends, my computer claims that I have a message.
I drag my butt over to my desktop and tap my mouse on the smiling yellow face that represents Pesterchum. Just as I suspected, it's from Maddie. I'm surprised she's up. While my alarm clock claim's it's 8:30, hers should read 10:30, and yet she still has trouble getting out of that nest she calls a bed till 11:00.
lemurEnthusiast [LE] began pestering trueDivination [TD] at 8:20 -
LE: Morning.
LE: Dude. Molly.
LE: Wake up, dumbass.
LE: Seriously, even I'm up.
LE: I've got something to talk to you about!
LE: Fine, I'll just go bug Quinn.
-lemurEnthusiast [LE] is now and idle chum! –
TD: you have no patience, you know that?
LE: Oh there you are.
LE: Yeah, I know I'm not patient.
LE: That's why you have to wake up and make sure I don't have to wait.
TD: you have a rather twisted sense of logic as well.
TD: so what did you want to talk about so badly?
LE: I just had the awesomest dream.
LE: EVER.
LE: EEEEEEVVVVVVVEEEEEEERRRRRRRR!
LE: If you were dangling off a cliff, and the only way to save you was to dream a more awesome dream, sorry sis, you'd fall.
TD: k got it. you liked your dream. what was so cool about it?
LE: Okay, so, it started out like a regular dream.
LE: It was one of those dreams where you fall and then you wake up.
LE: You have those to, right?
TD: a common side affect of hidden insecurity or lack of stabilization.
TD: but go on.
LE: So I fell. And then I woke up in my nest.
LE: Except it wasn't really my nest.
LE: I mean, Mika was there; cause I never forget to sleep without her, but the room was all pink and goldish.
LE: And I was wearing gold to. I had this really comfortable nightgown, like the kind Mom used to dress us in.
LE: So I go look out the window, and I see a giant golden city!
LE: And all these cute little people with white shiny skin were running about.
LE: I got really excited, and I was about to jump out the window to explore, but then I realize how high up I am.
LE: Like, I was in a huge tower!
LE: I decide to jump out anyway, cause it's a dream; I can do whatever I want.
LE: I just let myself free-fall down, and I realized it was probably not one of my best ideas, since the entire city's covered in pointy spires, but I was having so much fun falling that I wasn't scared.
TD: so what happened when you hit the ground?
LE: I didn't.
LE: Someone caught me.
TD: who?
LE: You know, I wasn't sure at first, but now that I think about it…
LE: I think it was Erin.
TD: erin?
LE: Yep.
TD: huh. did she say anything?
LE: I'm pretty sure she said, "You can fly, you know." and "Let's get you back to bed. You need to wake up."
LE: And then I woke up.
LE: So, magic dream fortune- teller.
LE: What does it mean?
TD: hold on.
TD: k got the dictionary.
TD: my best guess is that your dream meant you feel completely at home with a rich sense of community.
LE: Seriously?
LE: That dream was way to cool to mean just that.
TD: well sorry! it's hard! dreams can have lots of meanings!
LE: I'm beginning to think your divination is a bunch of crap.
TD: :P
LE: Besides, I think my dream had enough prophetic meanings out in the open, because I really did need to wake up.
LE: CS was pestering me.
LE: Apparently she's annoyed with you.
TD: what? why!
LE: I dunno. I was half asleep when I read it.
LE: Something about sleepwalking.
TD: i'll just talk to her later.
LE: That's the other thing I wanted to tell you.
LE: She wants to talk to you about the game.
TD: oh yeah! I completely forgot about that!
TD: did you get your copy?
LE: Yep. I've had it since yesterday.
LE: however, both CS and Erin have forbid me from running it.
TD: well I'm forbidding you too! i haven't gotten my copy yet and the plan was we would play together!
LE: Yeah yeah I know.
TD: promise you won't run it!
LE: Meh.
TD: older sister's authority here!
LE: Fine. I promise.
TD: :D
LE: t(-_-)t
TD: oh that was uncalled for!
LE: Sorry, gtg.
LE: Dad's calling.
LE: Tell me when you get your copy!
-lemurEnthusiast [LE] ceased pestering trueDivination [TD] –
I lean back in my chair and sigh. Conversations with my sister are always fun, but they make my eyes hurt. The bright red text against my softer teal creates a kind of optical allusion, where Maddie's word's pop out at me, and mine stay in the background. It gives me a headache. Maddie gives lots of people headaches.
Oh well, better get to messaging CS. She's even less patient than Maddie.
Before I can attempt to contact her, my head drops to the table and I black out.
AN: Cliffhanger! Yeah it's a pretty sucky one. Review please!
