Catchy title ne? But its true. I had one…just last night…and I can’t stop thinking about it. Maybe some of you guys can give an inkling of a clue of what it means. Here it is…
Way back when I was in high school, I dreamt that I was playing basketball with my friends. (I don’t play basketball in real life. I don’t even know the rules. ^__^) We were having fun and I had possession of the ball and was dribbling it towards a familiar place. Coincidentally, that place was the future location of my business today. But I didn’t know it then. Then right where my shop was located now…I threw the ball and it went thru the basketball ring. Then I woke up. I was about 16yrs old back then and just convinced myself that it was just any other dream. Meaningless.
Here’s the freaky part….
Last night…I saw that dream again. The difference is…I was there and I saw my younger self playing basketball and shooting the ball. Right at that moment, I knew I was dreaming and remembered that dream I had back then. I shouted at the younger me after he threw the ball…calling him…and then he saw me. It felt weird. I felt he knew who I was and was surprised that I was there. He immediately went home and I was left there awestruck by the realization that I was reliving the dream again.
Took me about 5 seconds to make a decision to follow my younger self back home. I knew where my house is (duh!). But was surprised myself with what I saw. The places I went by…the buildings…the homes…the scenery…it was all back when I was in high school. It felt like I travelled through time and brought back myself to 1997. But my objective was clear…I had to talk to my younger me. (Still freaks me out.) Anyway, I thought that barging into our house uninvinted would be a scandal so I searched for a pay phone and dialed our old phone number back then. (I still memorize it…our number now is new). Lo and behold! It rang! I faked a name and told my younger me to meet me at the gate and I had a favor to ask….
When we met for the 2nd time, he was still surprised. (If I was on his shoes, I would be.) But I told him don’t be afraid and I just wanted to talk to him because it surprised me too to see him (myself). And then I began telling him about the future…what I went through…college…friends…graduation…work…everything! He didn’t believe it at first (who would?)…but he can’t deny that fact that I look like him (a bit older of course), I act like him, I talk like him…and the undeniable fact of the scars on both our necks. So I told him, dont worry…I have proof that what I told him was true…I invited him to the shop.
Unfortunately, when we were about to go to the shop…a big wall suddenly blocked our way and a big black dog was guarding it. Not letting me or my younger self near it. Then I woke up.
I didn’t know what to think after that. I decided to post it here while I still remember every detail of it. I was shaken and freaked out. But the main question on my mind…what is the meaning of THAT??? Is it any other meaningless dream? Did my subconscious played a trick on me? Is it a coincidence that I dreamt about it when its near holloween? Lolz.
I don’t know. Maybe some of you guys could explain. Or if not…what was your freakiest dream ever? Share and discuss. ^___^
