Round 2 [LC]: your dreams
write a letter everyday to the following: …
Day 5 — Your dreams Day 6 — A stranger Day 7 — Your Ex-boyfriend/girlfriend/love/crush Day 8 — Your favorite internet friend Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet —- To the life that happens when I close my eyes, Why do you plague me? Why are you so vivid and real? Why must you be so exasperating that after I sleep, I still feel exhausted? Oh dreams. Please, let me have you as aspirations and not the things that leave me still exhausted after my slumber. Thank you, —— I’m sorry, but seriously I love to sleep. I don’t get much of it lately, but why must I dream? I feel as though my dreams have been so real lately that they scare me. The other night I dreamt a horrible dream about the entire world becoming nudists. I know some of you may be thinking that sounds awesome. But it really wasn’t. Not at all. The dream sequence started on a Monday and continued till about Thursday (in one dream). It included almost every regular detail and part of my tedious weekly routine. In the dream I did the whole school, work, intern and repeat thing, but seriously everyone I saw, spoke to, passed by and encountered was completely naked. I felt so uncomfortable. When I woke up, I felt violated and I felt like I had violated the world. You don’t understand how difficult it was to go through the next few days looking at people and talking to them with a straight face. It was so awkward because in the back of my head I was really thinking, “I saw you naked in my dreams the other night. I know it wasn’t real, but I really can’t look at you the same.” Plus, I’m kind of a neat freak and a world full of nudists just isn’t sanitary. A lot of my dream left me thinking, “do I really want to touch that?” (Trust me, it was pretty gross.) Its still kind of awkward because when my mind drifts back to that dream, during lulls in conversation, I get images in my head. And that just makes me feel even more uncomforatble because there are some people I wish I did not see naked. (So if you know me and see me in a somewhat regular basis, here’s a note: Avoid lulls. Thanks!) … And a few nights before I had the most awkward dream that cars could talk, like in those commercials. But it wasn’t in a friendly manner at all. It was just complaining about my destinations, my driving, other drivers, the weather, gas prices-everything! I thought car horns and blaring honks were annoying, but could you imagine if it was yelling and cursing that you couldn’t control that was coming out of your vehicle as you were driving? I just wanted to apologize the entire time while driving. After that dream, I never thought I’d ever enjoy a simple alarming honk from another driver, as I did the next day. But I do have to admit, some of the characters and personalities that these cars had were quite interesting and entertaining to say the least. … So I guess you can say that my dreams have been weird lately. So weird that I’m kind of scared what awkward situation it will put me in tonight. I’m kind of dreading bed now.letter challenge
