The curfew that I had set up for myself is 8 PM. So as usual, I went to sleep at 8 PM. It was cold since my blanket was still missing and there was a storm raging outside. I just got two of my pillows and covered myself. It was no blanket but at least I won't be that cold.
I had a weird dream.
I dreamt that my family was gone and that I was moving in with my friend, Krizia. When I finished moving, Krizia told me that we were out of corn (how important was that?). She told me that to get some corn, I would have to go up the street and keep going until I see the cornfield.
I nodded and got a sack and then I went up the streets. I walked and walked and the scenery changed into a forest, a mountain, a plain, an office, and another street with a lot of cars in it. I was admiring the view and the cars when Krizia, who was supposed to be at home, ran past me and yelled "You can run to your destination!".
So I ran. Over time, I began to notice that there were other people that were running beside me, each of them carrying sacks. I thought to myself, "You people want some corn as well? Well I'm sorry. I'm getting the best ones!" After that, I ran faster, not caring if my legs were already screaming for me to stop.
I saw a mountain up ahead and I hiked it all the way to the top. Trees were so tall that they even reached the sky, or at least I thought they did. A bear had attacked me but I managed to direct it to some honey and I escaped with my life intact. I was so tired that all I wanted was to stop and rest but I kept going. We needed those corns!
When I reached the top, I only saw a field and some kind of paper that was stuck under a rock. I checked it and it turned out to be 1500 pesos (my country's currency). I stared at the money and looked around. It was only then that I noticed that there were other people on the top, each one holding 1500 pesos in their hand.
The came Krizia's voice.
"Good work Faye! You're one of the few who were able to get at the top. Your prize is the money in your hand."
I just looked at Krizia as if she had gone crazy. In all actuality, I think she did go crazy. I was about to turn back around when I remembered something.
"Hey Krizia! Where are the corn?"
That was when I woke up. It was a great dream. It had so many lessons but I'm only going to share one.
Don't ever forget what your goal is. My goal in the dream had been to get some corn and I had almost forgotten it.
As for the other lessons, well you'll just have to examine the story and introduce it to the way life goes. You'll find that there are many things that are in common. I wish you good luck in your search.
