I become conscious in a dream in which I can't see, but it feels like I'm sitting in a car ... and the car crashes the very
next second with a sickening crunch. I don't feel anything, though, it just seems like I'm suspended in space. Realizing
that it could be a dream, I decide to try and wake up. I shake my head back and forth and wake up immediately.
Back asleep, I find myself in a dream in which I'm a drag queen (even though I'm gay in real life, I've never felt the need
to dress up like that!). I look in the mirror and see that I look a little bit like Elizabeth Taylor, with curly, jet black hair
and bright makeup. L___, from work, is there and has been giving me advice on how to look my best.
(shift) I'm back in college. A writer/philosopher is rewarding me for my thoughts and philosophy, which he seems to
think is very much like his own. But he gives me wooden "decoys" -- like they use in hunting, only these were not
painted, they were just made out of stained wood. One was of a duck and the other was of a rifle.
I'm happy for this attention, but then things start to slip in the dream. I fall out of favor not only with the teacher, but
with my classmates as well. I get depressed and wonder if I was even assigned a roommate -- with my luck, I mope to
myself, I'll probably end up in a dorm room alone. I become quiet and withdrawn, hiding my sadness with an
expressionless face.
Two college guys, having just met each other, are talking. Suddenly the more gay-acting one kisses the other one
passionately. A straight male student nearby nudges his gay friend and says, "See, there's two of your kind that you can
make friends with." I realize I'm totally out of this picture, too. This makes me feel more depressed.
The student body is doing performances. They test my two brothers with some amateur acting and performance art
challenges. My younger brother, B___, is really hamming it up, and I think how my shyness contrasts very badly against
his outgoing nature.
I wake up.
Additional Comments:
This dream actually quite accurately portrays what I had to go through during my college years. My brothers, being only
a year apart from me in age, were on campus the same time I was, and they were considered "big men on campus" kind
of guys. I was very shy and generally hung out with the nerd crowd, and had to endure some cruel remarks from some
of my brothers' friends like, "What happened to YOU?" But I think it's kind of interesting that I'm still drawn to the more
nerdy and geeky types, and feel the most comfortable around them. I realize after typing all this up that I could have
been a lot happier if I had just realized back then that the friends I had were just as good as the "cool" friends that my
brothers had. Period.
