Dream Journal

Headphones

Dreams are funny in the sense that you never remember how they begin. You're just suddenly stuck in some crazy situation and try to make it work. Last night I was dreaming only to realize that I was at college. But this doesn't look right, it wasn't the college I normally attend. It seemed to have so many stairs that went several stories up, inside and outside. I sit around for a while doing nothing until a guy shows me a few videos and such. I notice I'm having a hard time breathing. Not about to die but still struggling. At random times, I can gasp for air and take a deep breath. I'm still breathing but rarely do I get a satisfying amount of air. Ding. My teacher sends an assignment to my phone. I needed to go to the cucumber patch and collect mites for class. But this place is foreign to me. Where the hell would cucumbers be growing? Lost, I wander around but eventually spot a little vegetable garden out a window. I continue to have difficulty getting enough air. Walking toward the garden, I suddenly jerk awake desperately gasping for air and coughing. My mouth is so dry. I move around violently and rip away the headphones that were coiled around my neck like a snake. I drank the entire glass of water beside my bed and sat relived to finally breathe easy.
