A dream sequel

A Dream Sequel? I didn’t think it possible, but I had one. I only mention it because it was a sequel to my altogether unnerving and upsetting “freezer” dream in which I had to place my friend Jeffery into a freezer to “save” his life. I mentioned in the previous post that I did not believe that this would actually save him, and that it was only a futile attempt to give him hope and happiness in his penultimate moments. Turns out I was wrong. My dream began in a city, similar to Boston but much cleaner, in which I was hanging out with a large group of friends (sans Jeff, of course). However, the great day slowly became a horrible experience when all of my friends began to tell me when and how they were going to die. And the worst part was that they were all going to die very soon. Besides the obvious sorrow, I felt betrayed and alone. My first thought was, “That’s not fair! How am I going to go through college without other people alongside me? I don’t want to make all new friends at college at not have anyone to come home to!” I know this seems selfish, but it was my first thought. I suddenly remembered locking Jeffery in the freezer and realized that I had already lost a friend. Knowing it wouldn’t result in anything, I called Jeffery’s cell phone, and much to my surprise he answered! I ran home to let him out of the freezer and convinced him to go to the emergency room for a check-up. He ended up being fine. This didn’t erase the fact that my friends were all going to die, but it gave me hope that come would come back to me and peace of mind that I would always at least have Jeff. And then I woke up.
