Bad Dreams

I always try to describe my dreams somewhat as soon as I can recall them. Because hours later, as much as 24 hours later, I’d probably forget.

The other night I dreamt about Don Draper. Not Jon Hamm, but Jon Hamm as his character Don Draper. I was recounting to Don Draper fond memories of our affair and he said he remembered too. All this while I was sitting on his lap. Found it rather absurd because I haven’t watched any Mad Men related shows in a long time.

Then. Last night. Keanu. Granted I looked at Keanu’s snaps from his recent trip to Japan just before bed. But the dream, see less than 5 hours later I am struggling to remember it. But this is what I can recollect. I woke up in a sweat like a bad dream sweat and I thought to pray since it was a bad dream that’s what you do when you awaken. Then, I recalled that this is a man I may never meet, so what am I really praying about. Then, I prayed that it wasn’t a premonition of other things in my life.

We were together. He was burning candles you know those lanterns that you burn to say a prayer and they fly away. He burnt 3. One for his mum, one for his sister and the other for someone initialed P.D. Obviously it wasn’t me. When I asked him who it was. He said he has never admitted this to anyone but she’s his girlfriend. Someone he’s been sorta seeing for a long time. He hasn’t always been a girlfriend type person but he wants to be one now. That hit me like a ton of bricks. I promised not to tell anyone, cos I don’t have that many friends to tell. He concurred that that was why he trusted me with the information, he had noticed that I concentrated on my work. As soon as we returned from wherever we were and she was there he like ghosted me, I’m assuming to be with her. Remember thinking what a hmmm guy, but then of course he is. You can’t be single at that age without having broken a lot of hearts along the way. My dream confirmed that he has a bad streak and that bad streak has to do with women and his commitment issues.
