Chapter: Two Hidden Meanings
Kagome kept screaming even as someone started shaking her gently. Kagome Kagome, wake up, child!
The urgent pleading continued until Kagome sat up suddenly and knocked heads with Kaede, who had been trying to wake her up.
Kaede sat back, frowning and holding her head, and eyed Kagome with concern as the girl wiped sweat from her brow, her chest heaving as she gasped wildly, trying to get breath into her lungs.
As she gasped for air, Kagomes eyes were wide with anxiety and horror left over from the dream, and a bit of shock. She reached up, and could feel tears in her eyes which she swiped away hastily.
A dream? It was just a dream? But it felt so real! It was so so clear, so real! What a weird dream no more like a nightmare. Kagomes thoughts raced as it sunk into her anxious mind that it had all been nothing more than a dream, that it had nothing to be freaked out about.
What is the matter with ye, child? the elderly priestess asked Kagome as she rubbed her head slightly, her hand halfway covering the red mark which had already started to make itself apparent. Ye were screaming in such a way that ye most likely would have awakened half of the village were it not morning already.
Kagome finally got herself breathing normally once more and frowned, eyes cast down. Im sorry, Kaede. It was just a nightmare, thats all. Nothing to be worried about, Im sure.
A concerned look sat upon Kaedes face as she eyed the stressed-out-looking girl before her.
Would ye like to talk about it, child? she asked, her voice meant to be comforting, Ye never know, it may help. Sometimes dreams are not only dreams, but visions visions with hidden meanings which must be discovered. If this is the case in your dream, then it just may be important.
If I try to look at it like one of those dream psychologists or whatever would youd think that the meaning of the dream would be obvious
Youd think that me waking up alone in the dark in my dream symbolizes a fear of being alone.
And as for the scene with Kikyou theyd probably say it symbolized jealousy, and a fear of Inuyasha abandoning me.
And lastly, for how I was outside my body, how I couldnt touch or affect anything, and how I died in the end theyd probably say that I had a deep innate fear of death, and that I was afraid that life was passing me by
Or maybe that my conscience is telling me that Im not making a big enough difference in life? That Im afraid Ill be forgotten when Im gone?
It doesnt matter, anyway. Man, Ive read too many of those analytical dream books Its all just a bunch of garbage, anyway.
Kagome thought about the images shed seen in the dream, and knew right there that she really didnt want to talk about it; she shook her head slowly. No, thank you, Kaede, it was just a dream nothing more.
At least I hope thats all it was
QS: So, does anyone think Kagomes dream had some hidden meaning?
