Dream Post #1-Storms, Circles, and Fast Food

Dream Post #1-November 8-9, 2013

After reading a fanfiction about a girl who kept track of all of her dreams and looked at their meanings, I became curious about whether our subconscious mind is trying to tell us something or not. :p As Erich Fromm said, "A dream is a microscope through which we look at the hidden occurrences in our soul."

I decided to start a series of posts about dreams. Is that how you say it? O.O Or is it "dream series posts"? Well, either way I hope you get the idea. T.T

I'll say my dream, post the meanings (from here http://www.dreammoods.com/dreamdictionary/c3.htm) of the various things in it, and then I would try to interpret it using the order they appeared. Probably wouldn't be good at it though. O.O

First: my dream was kinda strange to be honest. I was in a circle of friends, though I had no idea why. It was incomplete though, because some people didn't want to join it. However, I was soon tugged away and put into my family's car. They began to drive away from familiar surroundings, and I was devastated because i wanted to return to my friends and not be driven to a place that I had no idea about. There was a huge stretch of sky with dark clouds, and my parents drove for what seemed like hours on a single road with no other cars.

Eventually, the car was parked and we entered a random stranger's house to sit and chat for awhile. When it was time to go, they gave us McDonalds to take with us on the long journey. I noted that the clouds had only gotten worse and that we should return home. However, my parents simply continued down at road. However, the sky had suddenly changed from dark, stormy clouds to thin, wispy white clouds.

Amazed by the sudden change, I decided to check the weather back at home to see what was going on. No weather reports showed up. Only static. I checked a weather report on the U.S, only to see that my home had been destroyed by a huge storm, and that there had been no contact with any survivors.

The white clouds around us suddenly turned dark once more, and the rain beat heavily on us.

This is kind of confusing me.  Um. X_X

Brief summary. So, my relationships are important. I need to work hard to overcome many obstacles to get to my goal. I'm depressed and angry and have a clouded way of thinking? I need to stop wasting my time and energy in fruitless pursuits. Or that I need to stop and enjoy life. I may have some repressed fears, memories, or emotions. I need to take care of myself. There's some inner peace in there somewhere. There's an overwhelming struggle/loss in my life, or there are rapid changes ahead?

(Well that summary wasn't brief at all.)

So, my relationships are important to me, but I need to concentrate on obstacles in the way of my goals. I'm indecisive, depressed, or angry, and I need to stop wasting my time for being such a way. Instead, I should enjoy life and not worry too much. I have many repressed memories, and I need to take care of my mental well-being. I want to search for inner peace, but the overwhelming struggle/loss makes it hard for it to happen. Or the rapid changes ahead makes it hard to do so.

Well, I hope that it was interpreted correctly? O.O Probably not though.

Oh well~

This is a tale of long ago, a tale of a girl named Lili and her best friend, Chale.

 

They gazed at stars together, shared their dreams and aspirations, and protected each other from their fears.  There were no words needed when greeting each other-- just a simple hug was suffice.

 

One day, in the middle of one of her nightly walks, Lili discovered a hidden little steam glittering in the stillness of the shining sky. The gentle wind blew through the trees, playing a song of sweet tranquility. A sense of peace overcame her, and she smiled. Chale would definitely love this.

 

She ran to his house, nearly tripping over several fallen tree branches. "Chale! Chale! I found a stream in the woods!" she shouted with joy. The door opened slowly to reveal a messy-haired boy rubbing his sleepy eyes.

 

"It's too late in the night for this," he muttered.

 

She laughed. "It's only midnight! Let's go!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him into the woods.

 

"Wait-what?! I never agreed to this!" he protested, lightly blushing.

 

"But it's obvious that you're curious about it!"

 

"M-maybe, but I don't want to go see it in the middle of the night..."

 

"It looks so much nicer though! Oh! We're here~!" Lili let go of Chale's hand, and plopped down next to the stream. She turned to look at her awe-struck friend. "Isn't it just lovely?"

 

The corners of Chale's mouth twitched into a smile as he sat down next to her. "I suppose it is."

 

And there they sat for another few hours, admiring the beauty and brilliance of the secluded stream.

A few days later, school started. This time, Chale and Lili would have to go to schools based on their gender, and they would rarely get to see each other due to the fact that they will have to board at their respective schools. Chale was adoring; Lili was distraught.

 

"Don't worry Lili, I promise I'll try my best to visit whenever I can, okay?" Chale smiled at her and wiped away the tears staining her cheeks. 

 

Lili nodded weakly and sniffled. "O-okay." 

 

"At the end of the school year, after we both return home, meet me by the stream," he murmured.

 

They parted ways.

For the first few days, they did their best to stay in contact with each other, but it was clear that Chale was slowly drifting away. Lili tried to chalk it up to her imagination, but a few weeks later, while reading under the shade of the big willow tree at her school, she heard Chale walking past, laughing with his new friends. Lili excitedly jumped up and ran across the green field to greet him.

 

Crying tears of joy, she cried, "Chale! Chale!" and tackled him into a hug, only to be pushed away. The shock was clearly visible on her face.

 

He stared at her with cold eyes and muttered, "Stop doing that. It's embarrassing." Chale's friends whispered amongst themselves and pointed at Lili.

 

She took a hesitant step back and gave him a wavering smile. "Right. Sorry..."

 

Chale's facial expression did not change. "I guess I'll see you around town?" He then walked off without awaiting an answer, his friends following behind.

 

"Yeah...I guess..." Lili looked down at her book, trying her best to hide the tears falling from her eyes.

 

~

 

The school year had ended, and Lili returned home, dreading the meeting at the stream that she had found so long ago. She looked around; there was no sign of Chale anywhere.  Would he even show up? she thought bitterly. She sat down and waited as patiently as she could. After a few hours, she decided to give up and go home. I'll check again tomorrow, she decided.

 

However, the next day came, and Chale still did not show up. Lili continued doing this for several more days, but eventually, she gave up. She knew that he would not visit. She had absolutely no intention to go to his house and remind him, for there was no point. He forgot about her. That is the simple, hideous truth. 

 

Lili motionlessly sat down next to the bank, listening to the serene sound of the rippling water.

 

In the stillness of the shining sky, she reminisced about her loving memories while waiting for the bitter dawn to arrive.

Hetalia Season Six

I was doing some research about season six of Hetalia yesterday because seriously, I have no idea whether there will be one or not. All the searches generated on Google have some pretty mixed results. :/ For example, one link says that it won't come out for another few years. T.T (Which would like, kill me.) Some other links have been saying that the rumor is false. T^^T I'm so terribly confused right now, I just want to hit myself on the head and eat pasta.

I seriously hope there's a season six though. *O* And that some news will appear confirming or not confirming the production of season six.

But to past the time, why not try this awesome Hetalia birthday game I found? XD (If you can't see it, just click on the picture.)

"England forces you to dress in their clothes because they want to become one with you."

O.e Well. Um. Signing off for now.

Waiting

It was a cloudy April evening, the sun barely visible behind the clouds. A girl and a boy were huddled together at the edge of the town, where two trees entwined together danced in the serene wind.

The girl tearfully looked up at her best friend. "You promise to visit one day, right?"

The boy next to her nodded solemnly. "I will. Don't worry 'bout it." He gave her a tiny smile, waved goodbye, and walked off, only carrying his most prized possessions.

Everyday, the girl waited for him at the place where she last saw him. Everyday she eagerly bought him coffee, his favorite drink. Everyday, she watched the coffee grow stale and cold. Even so, she still waited, no matter what.

Eventually, days become weeks, weeks became months, and months became years. But still, the girl never lost faith.

And there, at the edge of town, where two trees entwined together danced in the serene wind, the girl waited.
