when you dream…
… what do you dream about?
I had a recurring nightmare when I was a teenager which, when I think about it, was very odd. It started with a general sense of foreboding. I am walking down what seems to be a subway platform, but there’s no train in the station. Then the scene cuts to what can only be described as a sense of extreme claustrophobia. My face is really close to something, and I can see electricity zapping between two points on the surface of this thing. I am aware that I cannot move, and I am pressed in tightly on all sides. Have you ever stared at something so intently that your focus became so tight that the spot you were focusing on seemed to rise toward you? If you have, it kind of felt like that. Anyway, back and forth it goes, between the empty platform and the feeling of being pressed in. Ultimately the final scene is on the platform. As I walk, I look over to where the track should be, but there is no track there. In fact, there is nothing there at all. It is simply emptiness, a black void.
And at that I would wake up.
Nowadays, I think I mostly can’t remember my dreams… I’m still recovering from post-kids sleep deprivation…
