Midsummer’s Night Dream (Blog Topics Week 1)

In my POV, I believe dreams represent a lot of things, even people, déjà vu, places, and experiences. Dreams can represent contemplation, major issues, decisions, nightmares, and the past. I don’t dream often; most of my dreams are about everything listed up above. My dreams usually foreshadow in reality. The power of having ‘dreams’ is that no matter what you dream of, you can’t control it. Whether you dream of something surreal as to being a superhero compared to a reality dream with yourself to a recurring event in every day life, you have no power of your dreams. Your dreams however can have control or power over you. I have had several dreams where the outcome in reality was true and did happen. I have also had several surrealistic dreams that could’ve been horror films. I have had a dream about 2 or 3 years ago where I was in a room with no windows, or doors, absolutely nothing. It was an empty room. Everything was completely boxed in and I was standing in the center of the room. It was pretty dark and everything in the entire room had a hint of a brownish color. I was holding a globe, in front of the globe was facing North America. Sound was missing. Everything stood still, even myself. As I was holding the globe, I placed my left hand on the top of it and start to turn it downwards. As I did this the room started to shake like an earthquake and parts of the ceiling had started to crack and fall onto the floor and then, I realized that the world was falling. Not, just North America but every continent and even its islands. I started to fall forwards and onto the floor while holding the globe and I was screaming for help. No one could hear me but me. I woke up screaming. I was having an unforgettable nightmare that represented the End of The World, 2012. Now 3 years later, we are in the year 2012. Being aware of everyone who thinks the world will end this year, is terrifying. I don’t believe in it. The dream related to ‘2012’ was surrealistic, it hasn’t happened. A lot of questions come to mind about this dream even today, so many things don’t add up to a logical explanation. But yes, many of my dreams relate to actual life. Most of them foreshadow, but not all.
