I've had many weird
dreams in my life. But the dreams that get to me are the ones you wake up from
feeling like part of you hasn't. Like some element from the dream is hanging
around inside your head. That feeling always freaks me out.
Last year I had
a reoccurring nightmare about being lost in a hotel and looking for my room
while hearing a kid singing the first stanza of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over and over. I always woke up with
the song stuck in my head and it really turned me off to the tune after a month
or so. I've had that weird feeling for hours after waking up each time that part
of me was still in a dream. It's hard to explain unless you've experienced it
yourself.
This lasted about
a two months, maybe three. I wasn't exactly keeping track at the time. Then I
took a trip to New York, which was a first for me so I was super excited. The
dream had ceased for a couple weeks at this point and wasn't even on my mind
when I checked into the hotel.
Something was making
me really uneasy during check in. After a few seconds it hit me, I could hear Twinkle Twinkle Little Star from one of
the halls that opened into the atrium. It was a little girl's voice singing it.
I tried shaking it off, telling myself silly coincidences happen. After the
clerk gave me my key I got into the elevator just in time for a family of four
to walk past towards the front doors.
The little girl
stopped mid song and turned to look at me. She said as the door closed between
us "Mommy! It's the man from my dream!"
