About a month ago one Friday I woke up at 5am, wide awake after dreaming about sitting in a parking lot, waiting for something, with this song playing the entire time.
Weird? I haven’t thought about that song in a long time. Sure, it’s in my iTunes library, but it’s not one I listen to on even a semi-regular basis.
Fast forward one week to the next Friday. I woke up before my alarm again, aware that I had been dreaming, but unable to recall anything about the dream. I got up and made my way into the kitchen and prepared my coffee the same as I always do. The whole time it was like my dream was trying to bubble up to the surface, but I never could catch it, no matter how hard I tried.
Later, I hopped in the shower and Ellie Goulding was playing. After that song ended, what came on? You guessed it. The song I dreamed about the week before. It was odd and I could feel my other dream trying to make its way to the top layer of my consciousness, but it never did.
Half an hour later I am driving to work and I come up on an accident with an injury. A medi-flight helicopter was hovering close over the top of where I was driving. Then, like an explosion in my brain, my dream from the night before came back. I had been back on my college campus for some reason and there was some kind of announcement that there was a gunman on campus. Turned out, of course, that he was believed to be in the building that I was in. I was with a group and we were crouched down near a window (always dumb). Outside the window I could see police helicopters who then launched some kind of missiles into the building. The people in my group were fine and they got the gunman, I just thought missiles were a bit big to take out a lone gunman.
Long story short — apparently I have strange dreams on Thursday nights. I found it odd that both of these dreams would be brought back to the surface of my thoughts in such random ways.
And if you think those dreams are weird, I had one involving the kilt the other day that must be symbolic, but I’ll save it for another day.
