The Consequence of Indecisiveness (A dream that became a core memory)
(This is a dream that stuck with me for a long time now and thought I could share and see what you all think. I have posted this on r/Dreams hours ago but seeing as this place is for interpreting dreams I though I should post it here as well. This comes straight from my dream journal.)
In a fog like interior surrounded by spiral staircases, empty class rooms and odd geometry akin to modern art are many people walking about as if this strange building was just routine. I was no exception as I walked down a hall into an endless room lined with cafeteria tables full of people I never knew the names of yet recognized their faces. Among these tables were the three women I ever felt any romantic feelings for (For privacy I will call them: A,B,C)
“A” was once an ex girlfriend, someone I’ve since paid little attention to the point of forgetting her last name, and because of that I walked past her table. “B” was a good friend but we never did hang out outside of school. Now that I think of it we were closer to classmates than anything else. She was surrounded by people I never met, perhaps it was her new friend group. I tried to reach out and talk to her but it was as if I didn't exist, so I left.
Finally I reached “C”. “C” is someone I would describe as “the one that got away” She was an awesome person, we shared nearly the same interests and even introduced me to new ones I still engage to this day. Talking to her was never boring and after a while I wanted to confess how I felt. That was until I was expelled from our school and never got the chance to confess or even say goodbye. After that I tried for months to reach out to her whether it was through old classmates or social media I failed. As weird as it sounds she never had a smart phone or any internet at home, so the only way I could ever talk to her was face to face.
Interestingly, unlike “A” or “B” “C’s” table was empty, she never was very social when I first met her and as a result I was her only friend. I walked up to her table. I sat next to her and said hi. She was happy to see me, so was I and we started talking about what we did after we lost contact. What that conversation was about I cannot remember, but then things took a weird turn as she confronted me about one day meeting up, saying “This isn’t the first time you’ve asked me that, We’ve been in this situation before but nothing ever comes.” Which was true. This wasn’t the first time I’ve dreamed of her. And every time the conversation was about meeting each other again it ended there and I never saw her again.
So once and for all she asked “If you were to see me in the real world, would we really reconnect like you always promise?” I hesitated for a moment. Some part of me wanted to say 'yes' after all why would she still be in my subconscious? “...No.” That simple word was what came out of my mouth that day, and then I started to run away without even knowing what her reaction to my answer was.
As I started to run away the earth around me started to shake and crumble and the sky started to crack into pieces… Then my point of view changes into a new scene as I see a classroom with a teacher going over the meaning of a tapestry depicting my final moments as I run away from “C” as the world comes apart. “This here depicts the consequence of indecisiveness” The teacher says looking at their students. Every student in the class started taking notes of the tapestry with me being among one of those students.
I then woke up.
