realistic dreams I had a dream the other night; my dreams are different from other people’s dreams: other people’s dreams aren’t realistic, but mine always are. They stay with you longer that way, they make you think they really happened. Recently I had a dream that someone wanted to hurt me; they wanted to hurt me and they followed me and appeared in the same town as me and one day I was standing at a street corner and they were just standing there, talking to someone else, on the other side of the street. So I panicked, and I turned around and started running, ran down the block, dropped what was in my hands off at my house, and kept running. I don’t know how far I ran, or where I was running to, all I can remember is what I was running from. Copyright Janet Kuypers. All rights reserved.
