i've always had dreams when i was little. i remember running up to my mom to tell her about a crazy dream i had. a nightmare or not, i'd always remember them.

one night we had just finished watching this cute dog movie. it was for kids and the little group of puppies had to save a dog that left it's home. later that night, i dreamed about a large bulldog that was haunting our house. it was only the head though. it never talked or harmed us. it was just there. it made me wake up with tears in my eyes.

i never watched a movie with dogs ever since.

there was another dream where it was christmas i think; we were at a party. i was with someone i didn't know but in the dream he was my best friend. my heart always raced when i was with him. we entered this house that looked small on the outside but had many rooms inside.

all these people went their separate ways when we entered. i followed my friend in this room and he taught me how to play piano. he sung songs to me and we shared secrets like it was our last day together.

it felt so real. the next day i asked my mom to go to a music store to find a piano. she took 7 year old me to a music store and i ran to find the section of pianos. i remember looking for one that was close to the one i dreamed of and started playing a song.

it wasn't a nursery rhyme or a real song, it was just a melody. being a child with no musical talent, touching an instrument for the first time and playing something that was pleasant to the ear, my mom was surprised to say the least. she bought the piano. she thought i would grow up being a naturally talented piano player.

i didn't touch it after that. i didn't know how to play at all. it never interested me again.

these days i haven't been dreaming. dreams aren't something i liked anymore. it was a reality that didn't exist— it would make me wish everything was true.

i dreamt of december 17 once. i cant wait to make my dreams become true like i used to.
