Dream Boat
2014
Recently, for the past two nights, I have had a repeated dream with being on a boat; the first night of my dream, I was on a boat and wasn't too sure of the size; I just knew that it was large in size. It was late at night and I was talking to this young girl that had dark colored skin and while I was speaking to her I kept peaking over to this young man in a fancy uniform, who seemed to be a worker on the ship. His uniform was a deep navy blue color with a few yellow stripes on each sleeve and was holding a hat (unknown of the color), he stood tall speaking to a few people aboard the ship; the people that where just across the ship, where not from this time error and where dress extremely fancy and very rich. I know I knew who he was and that we've had spoken before but I couldn't see his face at all.
After speaking with this little girl and gazing at the young, handsome man, I realized that I was in near a very large stair case and everything seemed to be very large and wide; the ceiling in this hall was very high up, like in a ball room and it seemed I was in a very large mega-mansion with the amount of people that were in the room. By this point, I've realized that I was not on a boat, but in fact it was a ship, a ship that I have seen somewhere before. As I go on and explore the ship and going deck by deck I realized that my cabin was on B-Deck; when I entered the room, there was something about it that made me realize that it wasn't mine, but as I walk around the room, I felt something strange about this night. I shrug this feeling off and continued exploring the ship and got to D-Deck when the dream started to fade and I woke up from the dream.
The moment when I woke up, it felt so real as well as the feeling of not sleeping; as I lay there in bed trying to figure out what this dream I had, I realized that I had to finally get out of bed to get my day started by going to work. As I talk to friends about this dream that I had, being on a large ship and them trying to figure it out what it means and no one really knowing the understanding of it, I finally get home from a hectic day at work and I was able to get ready for bed and headed to bed.
When I dozed off for another night of sleep, I started having a similar dream to what I had the night before. The dream started off with me walking around the ship and when I went outside, when I saw the girl that I spoke to the night before. As I see her running towards me with excitement, I see the same man in uniform and still couldn't see his face this time around, while I glance on to this young handsome man the little girl and I walk inside and we talk while exploring more of the ship. When the young girl and I decided to stand by the elegant stair case again, when I tried to ask her what her name is, when she grabbed me and we ran down a small stair case that sat to the left of the elaborate stair case; as we ran down the stair case and squeezing her hand very tight, we ended up in a hotel like environment.
As the running, goes into a slow motion like state, I look to the right and I see a reception desk where people were standing with luggage checking in and as I turn my head back, we ended up in a hallway of the hotel that had a huge fraternity party. As, the little girl and I are still running through the hallway, she slowly gets taller and seems like time was going past us and both of us start to age; all of the guys try to bring us back to the room, when I realized that we were still on board the ship. What we actually running from was water that was entering the ship and as we started to head up to go outside to see what was going on we heard the screams of the people getting sucked into the water.
While the ship was sinking, the time period changed from what seemed to be going back and forth from present day to the nineteen-twenties; as the young girl and I arise from the freezing temperatures, the water got tolerably warm and the ship that we were just on turned into a steam boat and those aboard the sinking ship did in fact die and the girl and I got rescued from the water. As we got pulled from the water and as I stood up and bent over to catch my breath; I looked up to notice that I was in a Deli, in the middle of New York City, I noticed that the sinking ship that I was on was the Titanic. When I looked to speak with the young girl, she wasn't there at all and in fact, she died. Turns out that while I was aboard the Titanic, I was in the sick bay and the girl that I was running all around with passed away a few hours before the ship sunk; everything that I witnessed as I made my escape from the Titanic, was a hallucination.
As I walk away, I noticed that everything was starting to fade away and I slowly came to and woke up from this dream; this dream of a boat, a Dream Boat. As my day went on and I thought about my dream on the Titanic, what it meant on time jumping back and forth, the reasoning on why it felt so real, why I kept dreaming about a girl that was aging before my eyes, and parties all along the titanic, and who this mystery man that I kept seeing through-out the entire dream.
