This morning I was woken up from the strangest dream.
It’s spring right now, but not the kind where the sun is shining and the birds are singing happy songs. It is very dark outside, rainy, and cold; a perfect inspiration for the same kind of dreams. I just feel so different, kind of cut off from the world, when I wake up from some kind of nightmare and I see a nightmare outside through my window. I opened my eyes; I didn’t know where I was for a few seconds, my heart was racing. I moved the curtains from the windows in hope that at least some kind of light would come inside the already too dark house. I made some coffee and started remembering the details that disturbed me deeply.
The dream
So I was sitting in a room with this girl; she was Jewish. I worked in her store, a store for Jewish people with their food. And I am a Christian. Yes, a very strange combo. I kept telling her how I used to work for a Jewish family in Switzerland.
(And I really did work in real life a couple of years ago.)
So here I am, telling her my story, and all of a sudden I tell her I have to go soon, but I’m scared to go home; there is a ghost in my house that scares me. She looks at me very strangely; I made some joke about a priest and how I’m waiting for him to come to my home and get the ghost out. She was laughing. I also had a big brown dog with me in the dream; she was a girl and her job was to protect me. A loud banging woke me up.
What does it all mean? I always had strange dreams, but this one seemed like a mix of dreams and reality. Sometimes I just brush off the bad feelings and small residues of a bad dream, but sometimes they just get me thinking about them all day and sometimes a couple of days. There are dreams I remember that happened years ago, and I still couldn’t figure out their meanings.
Who was the ghost? Was I projecting some kind of feelings from a real person or was I projecting my feelings toward this house I live in? I still live in a house my late parents left for me; maybe that was it?
What do you think it was about?
