do dreams really mean something?
I wonder if dreams have meaning. It would be so cool if they did. It feels like your subconscious mind is trying to send you messages — maybe about the future, maybe warnings.
I rarely get dreams — like once in a blue moon 🌚. Most of the time, it’s just a black screen. But I’ve noticed something: whenever I’m overwhelmed or experiencing a lot of emotions, I tend to dream. Otherwise nada.
One dream I still remember (even though it’s vague) was so random but cool. I saw the number 104, then NASA casting a spell, then a red glitter girl I wanted to tell something. The scenes kept shifting, and in the background, Alan Walker’s 'Man on the Moon' was playing. It honestly felt like my brain was creating a music video.
One of my other dreams was actually kind of sweet. I was cycling in the late evening 🌆 when I suddenly saw my crush. He was cycling too, all decked out in his fancy gear. I was so surprised I blurted, “Hey, what are you doing here!?” and he replied, “I think you know what I’m doing here.” (like damnn 😳). I gave him a hug, and somehow we ditched our cycles, walking back home together — holding hands, looking at each other the whole way.
I think the main reason I had this dream is that the song 'Ends With You' by David Kushner was stuck in my head—it was literally on repeat. The main chorus goes like:
I hope this story ends with you and I
But even angels fall from the sky
I hear the bombs going off tonight
But I believe we'll see the other side
Yeah, I know, honey, I know
I hope this story ends with you and I
Another part of the song I just love:
Your honey eyes in the sunlight
Have a language I can't define
Life can treat us so unkind
I'll hold you close until we die...
(On a side note, in my personal opinion, this song would’ve been perfect for the scene in The Summer I Turned Pretty—Season 3—where Conrad confesses his feelings to Belly at the beach.)
But back to my dream—listening to this song on repeat probably explains why it played such a big role in it.
I also realized I don’t really get nightmares — or maybe I just don’t remember them. My sister, on the other hand, dreams a lot, even nightmares.
So maybe I dream less often, or maybe I just tend to forget them. Which is why, whenever I do dream, I like to believe it has some special meaning. Like my mind is trying to convey something important to me 🤷. Or maybe… dreams only mean something if we decide they do.
