I just remembered a recurring nightmare I have had. I don’t know how long ago or for how long. I think I’ve definitely had it since graduating. In the dream I am at school; university but at my high school. I have a math class but don’t realize it or remember until I have forgotten to go to class for too long or until somehow I end up there and don’t have the homework. I guess it’s a nightmare because it is unsettling. The really “scary” dreams I actually enjoy. This one is just disturbing.
When I lived in Nicaragua I had dreams about my former life more than I thought about it. It was like my subconscious was dealing with the change by reaching out and spending it’s free time where it felt most comfortable. I knew I would be there for two years but then, I would end up at home and feel so relieved and happy. Then—even in my dreams—I would realize that I shouldn’t be home or that it didn’t make sense. My subconscious would do it’s best to explain, giving one excuse or another. Sometimes I would buy it, and sometimes I would figure out that it was a dream.
So. Mali. I guess I’ll be dreaming of toilets and hot showers. Nous verrons.
