The One With A Strange Dream

Last night, I had a particularly strange dream. What was more rare was the fact that I recalled the dream . . . This is something I have always had the unfortunate (un)ability to do.

Anyway . . .
I dreamt that I could fly. I could also manipulate the thoughts and actions of others (which, I already can do in real life, what with me being the Evil Mastermind that I am). I was living on an island. And somehow, I also had the ability to find pearls. Round creamy colored. Big and small.

So, there was a couple who managed to persuade me to tell them where they can also find the pearls on the island. I pointed it out on a map for them. But when they went to look for the pearls, the man and woman could not find any. I flew to that part of the island and I easily found plenty. And I also found the biggest pearl there was. I manipulated the man and woman to go find pearls elsewhere while I continued looking. Then I realized they had found some on the beach near where I was looking. So, I went to them and, again, made them go look elsewhere. I took their pearls for my own. I do not recall what I did with those pearls, but I do recall that by sending them away, I had made the couple angry with me.

Then it was sunset. Everyone on the island retreated indoors. From behind glass walls, they looked at the sunset across the horizon. I, on the other hand, decided to continue looking for pearls on the beach. It was then, that I realized that in my dream, the sunset is dangerous . . . much like radiation, hence the need for people to retreat behind the glass barriers.

Unhindered, I kept looking for pearls. Getting closer and closer to the sun on the horizon. Then, I heard a voice saying (and I remembered this vaguely) "Death awaits you while others look from the distance." I remembered that when I heard that, I flew back to the barrier, but, alas, it was too late.

I woke up.

The thing is, I know that death awaits us. But, in this moment of living, life is already here with us. I would rather embrace that, than to fret over uncertainties of the future.
