I Have A Dream

28Jan10

Seriously, I had a frightening dream last night that made me wake up early this morning wondering how in the world that wasn’t real. My dream involves many of my friends, one knife, and one freaking scary cult.

I had no idea what the background of this situation was, all I knew was that I was part of this cult that many of my friends were in and we were all about to cut our wrists to commit suicide together. Please don’t worry about my personal health as I love myself way too much to commit suicide in real life (yeah, I took the line from Sherlock Holmes).

Anyways back to my dream. All I remember was that Layla was probably the leader of this group that was probably 10 people large. The other faces and voices I recognized were Dennis, Ryon, Alan, and (I think) Kaori’s. Kaori is a girl I met at the New Year’s Eve party I went to this past New Year’s Eve; she is also one of Dennis and Layla’s friends from Torrance. So now you know that I saw probably half of the group that was trying to kill themselves in what looked like the back of a classroom or auditorium.

It continued on and I remember seeing Layla pull out a knife. Oh, we all happened to be dressed in these hooded robes. You know, those types of robes that all those cults seem to wear. But um… Layla pulled out a knife and gave us a speech about how we were all going to cut our wrists and kill ourselves one by one.

Believe me, that was some scary stuff.

I watched as she showed us not to cut across the wrist, but rather to cut all the way down the forearm. I continued watching as I saw the knife go down her arm and blood started gushing out. It was horrifyingly gross. I got so freaked out at this point (in my dream) that I felt like I was getting cold feet. Seriously, who wouldn’t though?

Layla handed the knife over to Ryon and he was pointing to his wrist with the tip of the knife and was wondering how exactly to do it. He ran the knife over his wrist (but didn’t cut himself) and then Dennis and Alan stepped in to tell him that he was doing it incorrectly.

I’m not sure what happened next, but all I remember was that I was abruptly woken up by my alarm of Hellogoodbye’s “When We First Met”. My feet felt cold and clammy and I was realized I woke up lying completely still looking up at the ceiling praying to God that nothing like this would ever happen.

By now, I don’t know what to think. I believe I may still be traumatized, but I did tell Harrison about this dream after class today. We pretty much agreed that this would never happen just because of how happy Layla always is, thus she would never be in the situation my dream put her in. Same goes for the rest of my friends and myself.

I think this might be the equivalent of those child nightmares I would experience back in the day that just freaked the crap out of me when I woke up every morning. Then I would be so scared to go to sleep at night and I’d pray to God that I wouldn’t be attacked by the same nightmare as I had been the previous night. You know, I’m just really glad my dream is over. Let’s leave it at that.


I seriously have no clue what’s happening to me. Usually I jump from music genre to music genre having all sorts of phases. I’m sure everyone does this, but what seems to be weird about what’s happening to me right now is that in the middle of one of my phase shifts, I was introduced to another genre. Now I’m listening to both at the same time and they’re like polar opposites.

I was really getting into some alternative punk rock like Sum 41 and Yellowcard (mainly), but then a day or so after I started listening to them, my friends insisted I check out Vampire Weekend. It’s definitely interesting because now I feel like my musical taste is like day and night. Oh “day and night”, that reminds me of Dennis having a recent sudden interest in Kid Cudi. I must say I’m surprised Georgie and Alan were able to get Dennis into Kid Cudi, but I also think it’s awesome nonetheless.

This leads me to the video I want to share with you. Okay bye.
