Drowning and Chaos

Most of the time, I do not remember my dreams. There are times that I’ll wake up and remember it being really weird but not know the details of them. There are other times when I do not know if the dreams were part of my reality or if it was all in my head. I never know if it was real or not until the event happens and it turns out to be déjà vu.

In the most recent dream that I remembered, had a lot to do with water and chaos. I was out at a harbor and looking at all the boats that were there. Somehow, I had a boat that belonged to me and I was going to take it out. I was untying the rope that was keeping the boat in place at the dock, and then untying the rope that was on the boat. Suddenly, I just fell into the water. I expected to fall into some deep water of a lake or sea but it was shallow. I ended up falling into water that was only a foot or two deep. The dream went from me on a dock to playing in the water with a friend. We were both just dancing and jumping around in it. I think this was because I was watching Glee and they did a version of Rihanna’s song “Umbrella” on the show and dancing in the rain.

The other portion of the dream was craziness. I was trying to go out to do some simple errands but everything felt so rushed. There were people walking super fast. I think it was a nice, sunny day and possibly a weekend. I felt that no one should be doing this much on a lovely day. Everyone just needed to slow down and relax. I remember getting into my car to go somewhere and there were maniacs in the other cars around me. I was almost hit a few times from people changing lanes or people merging into my lane but trying to pass me up. These were the people that tried to run me off the road. My heart was beating so fast and I was feeling very anxious. Then, my alarm went off before anything else can happen. But it was an intense feeling for me to wake up out of.

I didn’t realize that my dreams had any particular meaning until later in the week. When I was dreaming about all the water and falling into it, it was telling me about the rain that we were going to have. Just yesterday, it was pouring so much that just walking in it made me feel like I was falling in a lake. Then again, there was so much rain that I was soaking wet in my shoes. I’m just happy that I was able to stay out of the rain for most of the day but it was hectic.
 
The other part of chaos turned out to be a warning for work. I’m a new full-time key-holder at American Eagle Outfitters at Tanforan and I let my store manager know that I was going to be on break and was able to work the maximum amount of hours for the week. When I got my schedule, it turns out that the chaos is going to come to me in the 46 hours that I am scheduled to work. It is going to be incredibly hectic and full of chaos on black Friday, which we call green Friday because we make money, since I will be working a 10 hour shift. This week is going to be craziness but I’ll be happy when I see my paycheck.
