A couple of days ago I had a weird dream. I was laying on my bed, when I see my dad walking down the stairs. Pretty incredible sighting considering my dad passed away about a month ago. I follow him into his room, where he is chilling on the floor, on the same spot where his bed would normally be. The floor is littered with dust, cigarettes, and other kinds of trash, but yet he is just laying there so casually. I yell at him:
-No way! you should be dead!
-No, I'm not
-Then what about all the funeral services I just paid!? what about the ashes I had delivered to me!?
-Well, looks like you just got cheated, dummy
While I'm having this exchange with my not-so-dead father, I realize im wearing an old sweater that I haven't used in a long time. I ask my dad what year is it, and he says it's the year 2017. For a moment I feel some sort of relief. I just came back in time! I can fix some mistakes I made the last couple of years! I have a second chance at doing some things right!.
I figure that since dad is back I might as well take the opportunity to open up to him on some things I never really had the chance to share while he was alive (like, actually alive in the real world). At first I think about confronting him on the things I never liked about him, or how bad a person he could be sometimes, but i think to myself it's not worth it, and so I let it go. Instead, I tell him about how empty and depressed I feel sometimes, and he procees to try to cheer me up with some tale about a guy who was dumb and ugly but had a ver cool blue sweater.
All of the sudden, we are on the back of a car (I guess a uber or a cab) driving down the street. I start to wonder if I'm dreaming or not, so i turn to my dad and tell him:
'I'm gonna try to make some UFOs appear on the sky, if I do it, then I'm dreaming'
I count to three, and there it is: the cloudy sky starts to get filled with big floating UFOs. Both me and my dad react with awe. I think to myself:
'That's so cool! Not only do I go back in time but I also get reality bending superpowers! I'm gonna do so many things! I'm gonna have the time of my life!'
Well, not so fast, my dream doppelganger, because it was indeed a dream all along!
So naturally I try to see if there is some meaning to it all, to no avail. One thing is for sure: i certainly would love to go back in time and change the course of my life. Maybe on another dream.
