I’m sure you were going on this trip, too.

Yeah, this is a post about a dream.

Last night, I dreamed that there was a huge trip going on. It was a big deal. It was a huge event. Everyone was going, and I do mean everyone. My entire family was going. Essner, Spaeth, Droid, all my IRL friends were going. Most of my internet-style friends were flying in to go. This was a huge event!

I wasn’t going.

I started out okay with this, but soon, as I watched everyone gathering on the front lawn with all their stuff, I realized that kind of sucked. Soon, someone from work relinquished their spot. I could take it! I could go!

I told my mother the good news.
“You can’t go. You have class.”
This started a huge argument about how totally unfair that was, especially seeing as everyone else was going to miss class for this trip. Meanwhile, I knew the clock was ticking. Everyone was going to leave soon. I was arguing with my mother while she finished packing to go. I also realized that there are people waiting that I had never seen in person. Even if I failed to get to go, I needed to get out there and see Brer, and Cris, and Ecks, and all my good friends I’ve never seen in person before. But I was stuck in this argument. My mother kept seeming like she would give, but wouldn’t. I couldn’t figure out if it was futile to keep arguing or now.

I woke up with all of this unresolved, and feeling very actually frustrated.

I guess one could really analyze this dream. Something about how both my mother and school feel like they are keeping me away from fun and the people that I love. There’s probably some level of truth to that. Not an infinite amount, but some level. Either way, it was an extremely clear dream. I remember all kind of details. There was some sort of huge valve in the basement that Mom was shutting off to prepare for the trip, for example.
Man, I don’t know. I rarely have such serious dreams. I felt like sharing.
