Lesson From a Dream

We all dream of strange things such as having super power, or some weird fantasy that you can not have in real life. But there are dreams sometimes that are so realistic that you actually lose sight of what is happening. Usually I can tell if I am dreaming. Even in my dream I acknowledge it. When I can jump 30 to 100 ft into the air and glide down smoothly. I automatically know its a dream and I should enjoy it before I wake up. But I have had dreams that is border line nightmares where I can't tell if I am dreaming. And even when I wake up, I question rather my dreams were dreams or events that had occurred.

Last night's dream really disturbed me and really rocked me to the core. When I woke up, I was confused, scared, hurt, and just plain shocked. I would not go into details, but the dream was so realistic, and definitely could happen in real life, that I completely could not tell if it was a dream. When I woke up, I had to check if Mary was laying next to me, and check the time and date just to be sure I am still who I am, and where and who is still around me. To me growing up as an only Child and having parents work all the time. Being alone is the last thing I want. So my friends and family, and my new family (Mary), defines me, tells me that I am alive. And I have to say, in my dream, I lost all that, making it the worse nightmare I can face.

My dream definitely was a wake up call to really cherish my friends and family and make sure to appreciate every moment I have. Waking up this morning to realize it was a dream felt like someone who is given a second chance in life.
