About dreams and reality
I’ve had many visions about the most random things with the weirdest stories one could ever imagine. I’ve dreamt about aliens exterminating people with rat poison, about having a roller coaster in my school, about Michael Jordan being at my house although I don’t even like basketball and have never watched a game. How in bloody hell does this relate to my ordinary student life? Of course, there is plenty of events and details behind these peculiar themes I didn’t and won’t tell you, but there is one specific case I would like to share.
Once I dreamt about a man. A man I’d never seen in my imaginary dream life neither in my real life and with whom I established some kind of deep, immediate connection. As soon as I met him, it felt like we’d known each other for a really long time, despite the fact that during the entire dream not even one word was exchanged and I didn’t even know his name.
There was a moment when he was by my side and a sudden feeling came to me, something I had never felt before and yet recognized right away. At that time it felt so true, but when I think about it now it scares me a bit. I felt I loved him.
Now, i don’t want this to look like a surrealistic love story fanfic, but the point is: so far I’ve never fell in love with anyone, so how could I possibly feel it and know what that sensation was? How did I experience something for the first time in a dream, given that they are based on past occurences we’ve lived? Does this say something about my relationships I’m not aware of? If I ever fall in love in real life, will it feel the same?
This is surely one of the most curious events that have ever happened to me and I really hope I’ll be able to understand it someday.
