I'll Never Write A Dream Vision

I have some very strange dreams.

I'll Never Write A Dream Vision

As an english major, I’ve taken a lot of classes about literature. These classes normally discuss poems and stories written hundreds of years ago. Most of them are definitely not anything I would choose to read if given the option. One of the ancient genres of poems I’ve learned about is called a dream vision. In this type of poem the narrator has had some type of dream and are re-telling it to reveal some sort of deeper meaning. Learning about this type of poem lead me to think about some of the dreams I’ve had. I remember my dreams because I often wake up in the middle of the night and write down what I dreamt about. These transcriptions certainly don’t show the same writing quality as a dream vision. In a dream vision the author recounts the dream in extreme detail. They often go through their emotions in the dream and even switch point of view. I’m normally half asleep when I write down my dreams so it’s amazing that the words I write make any sense. I don’t think any of them are meant to reveal a deeper meaning. Even though I don’t think any of them are worthy of being dream visions, I’ve decided to share some of them.

On March 14, 2016 I woke up at 3:32am and wrote, “ I was in a warehouse with Aunt Becky from Full House. All of the animals were escaping. I was running from the lion but we had to make it throw up.” The only deeper meaning I can gather from this is that I need to stop falling asleep while watching Full House.

A few days later on March 17, 2016 I had another interesting dream; “My neighbor old lady looked like Kathy Bates. She choked me but no one believed me. I was hiding because she was trying to return the umbrella.” This is definitely one of the scarier dreams I’ve had. All I can infer from this dream is that I watch way too much American Horror Story.

A bit more recently on June 4th, 2016 I had a dream about Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez; “I was fourth row at a Selena Gomez concert. Justin Bieber was the opening act and walked through the crowd and hugged me. I was wearing sunglasses. Justin laughed at me then Selena was right behind him and laughed at me.” At least in my dreams Justin and Selena are still together. I have no idea what this could possibly mean but I’m glad Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez both think I’m funny.

One of my more uneventful dreams took place August; “I was walking to class. Tyler Oakley was in front of me. He went to my school. He could hear me talk about him and we were friends. He held the door open for me.” If you don’t know who Tyler Oakley is, he’s a famous Youtuber. He’s also about seven years older than me so there’s no instance when we would ever go to the same school. He does seem pretty cool though so I’m glad my dream self got to be friends with him.

These three definitely are not the weirdest dreams I’ve had. As you can tell, I normally wake up very confused. Maybe other people, like the writers of dream visions, are destined to have amazing dreams that reveal great truths about the world. I’m definitely not the next modern day writer of dream visions.

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
