the earliest part of my dream starts out with me at home, preparing to go to work. My mother had decided to come with me and we drove there with my younger brother.
The period of time at work was a blur, and on completing it I found that my brother was getting onto a school bus, not knowing where the bus was going I decided to wait for my mom.
He went on ahead and my mother reassured me that my step father was going to pick him up from wherever the bus went.
Having sat in her car for a short period of time, I quickly realized that HER car had turned into a school bus, and I was located in the seat directly behind the driver's,
and for whatever reason, the seat that I was in was built with horizontal bars, on the outside of it, making it seem like a cage. We started to dive off towards a combination of a college, mall, and art gallery.
To enter the premises the bus rode around the circumference of the building, letting me get a good look of it, OUR destination was the back of the building, where a ramp dipped down into a semi underground parking area.
The ramp was steep, and designed not to have bus roll through, but to hit a metal fence and have machinery move it. From the corner of my eye I saw something horrifying, a dog's head, recently decapitated.
Stuck onto a nail on the concrete pillar on the immediate left of the down ramp. Only someone from my position could see it, and no one would believe me when If I talked about it. After parking all the people starting leaving the bus,
but the bars made it increasingly difficult for me to leave. Eventually I was able to warp the bars enough to free myself, in my struggle to break free I saw another chilling sight, two front paws of the same dog (I hoped), nailed again
to a pillar, done so that a single nail held both of them parallel to each-other. I made not only my distress at having recently been stuck known, realized that it wasn't that I didn't think anyone would believe me, but that
if I told anyone who wasn't an authority figure, it could cause a panic. I let the bus driver know what I saw and stepped outside of the bus. My brother was there in the crowd of people, waiting to show me all the building had to offer.
Before we could leave however, an unseen force moved us all back onto the bus, and drove us towards the front of the building. I shared my hope with my brother regarding the dog, hoping that it was dead before whoever got to it.
On reaching the front of the building I was the first one out, leading the group into the front entrance. I met the rest of my family in there as the crowd dispersed. They beckoned me to go with them, they had been in the building longer
and wanted to lead me somewhere. They moved too fast, the building had thousands of interesting things to see, and I never got a second to appreciate them. So many young people, talking and having fun.
Eventually the galleries we passed through started to become more and more focused on things I in particular was deeply interested in, and I lagged behind more and more. I joked with my brother that the people making these paintings were
just as big a nerd as I was. It wasn't until I got to the last gallery that I could no longer move. I was transfixed by the paintings, I could feel the passion and love in each stroke. I wanted to buy one of the paintings, I would have done anything
to have it. I spun the painting over and over, looking for a price tag, or even the name of the artists.
Nothing, absolutely nothing.
I had finally found someone as passionate as I was, and I would never know their name, never keep something to remember them.
Despair took me there, and my last words spoken were; "Why couldn't I have come here?" And then I woke up.
I would be lying if my first though on waking wasn't relief, knowing not that it was all a dream, but that I wouldn't have to worry about there being someone out there I'd never know who I could connect to.
