Dreaming
I've been having recurring dreams about my friend Kevin, who is serving in the Middle East. I haven't heard from him in a few weeks. Here are the dreams, cut and pasted from emails that I sent him
Dream 1. (the night before last)
You've been on my mind so much lately that I actually dreamed about
you last night. It was a very nice dream but really it was only
nice because in my dream you came and gave me a hug. You looked
the way you did when we were kids and used to go to that rock and
eat chinese food. And you had a backpack on. I was so happy to
see you.
Note: I am never fully honest with Kevin in emails because he says that knowing we are worried about him makes him feel worse. But in my dream the way he hugged me was so desperate. Like when we were in H.S. and were both mending borken hearts.
You were in my dream again tonight. This time there were no hugs.
:-( I was going to a new school, I knew I was supposed to be a kid
but I looked like my current self. I was on the bus and then I got
off because I wanted to talk to someone I had seen in a newspaper
article. The bus pulled off without me and I had to chase after
it. I had to take off my shoes to chase it because if I lost it I
wouldn't know where the school was (i was in heels and I run
faster barefoot). This woman along the way told me where the
school was and come to think of it she looked a little like your
mom. I found the school but then I had to find my bookbag (which I
left on the bus). In this room were tons of backpacks but none of
them looked like mine and Ms. Gillespie (who worked at the middle
school as an aide when you and I were there, and who still works
there) was supposed to help the kids look for their backpacks but
she went out to lunch. And that's when you came. There was a list
and if you put your name on the list they found your backpack for
you and you wrote out my name and the type of backpack I had (I
know you aren't supposed to be able to read in your dreams but I
can). You looked older than you did the last time I saw you,
tired. Then you asked me if you should put down your backpack
because you weren't sure if you wanted it back. And that was it.
Note 2: He really did look so tired and so awful.
And now I am worried. The dreams were really odd, especially how he looked young two nights ago but so old and tired last night. And I don't get what the backpack symbolism means. Off to find a dream dictionary.
