waking up from a dream with a goal?

i just woke up a while ago. i'm still feeling a little strange from it.

i was having a dream about reading a book to some of the kids i've worked with. nothing out of the ordinary since i regularly read aloud with small groups. in my dream, they asked me to read one particular book. one that technically didn't exist. the stories in it did, but they were never compiled into an anthology book like that.

somehow, i knew exactly what this book's cover looked like, but not the name. i knew what all the stories were and could even recite some of them. i also knew that four of the kids went through something horrible. the second and third stories were about that trauma.

suddenly, i was awake and felt that my goal was to find the author of this book that didn't exist. i needed to remember who wrote the stories i'd never heard. everything in my dream was imaginary, but my body and brain are still telling me to find out who the writer is.

i felt a vaguely religious thing about it too, like i was being reached out to by something. a small push to explore what religion means to me. i was already planning on doing that, though i feel like doing it right at this very moment.

what a weird feeling..
