Moonlight

Dream

In this dream I woke up in my bedroom But it was completely abandoned and the only thing that lit up the room was the moonlight shinning through the windows. I was confused, it was uncomfortable. So I got out of my bed and stood up as I walked over to my cracked bedroom door. I was aware it was a dream by then so when I looked out the door seeing that the hallway just got darker and darker. I had just turned around and said "no" as I woke myself up and sent myself to a different dream. I was not waiting to see the consequences if I stayed any longer.

Dream

I was getting eaten by a shark. Then an American kid said "moms home" like he was talking to his brother enthusiasticly. The heater was on full. The shark was rushing through tiddle waves and there was fire all around. It was in the middle of sea at night. I was witnessing the shark devouring everyone it could. The shark was like a god or warrior. Mums is in Melbourne and she's coming home today. She stayed at my sister's for a few days. When I was being eaten by the shark I felt the sensations , but not really pain. The shark was gigantic and very mighty. It was like a movie in a cinema with the moonlight shining off the water, and tidlewaves crashing together. I remember a woman with long brown parted hair, she was an actor but I can't remember her name. She was Australian. There was a lot before the shark scene I don't remember.

Dream

We (me and my brother) were on a small ship in the middle of an ocean. The ship was an odd shape; like a pufferfish and it was two toned; beige on the top half and blue on the bottom half. There was a family sitting in the back of the ship. A mother, her son and her husband. The woman's young son was talking, saying things that upset the captain. The woman and the captain exchanged words. She was pleading with the captain to understand her situation. She didn't want her family to be kicked off the ship. They weren't kicked off the ship, but the captain did turn the ship on its rear to the point where it began to quickly fill with water. At some point, my brother and I were able to escape the sinking ship. We didn't have a raft or life vests; we would have to swim. Since I was the stronger swimmer, he would get on my back or hang onto me when got tired. While navigating the dark ocean, I noticed a point or tip of something standing out of the water in the distance. "I think it's a shark", I said. My brother was afraid, and understandably so. I was also quite afraid; the situation made me very anxious. As the shark approaches, I can almost feel the fear coming from my brother. He was trembling badly. I reassured us both that there was nothing to fear and it won't attack us if we don't bother it. "They're like ocean's puppies". I knew that they responded to movement so we stopped swimming and remained perfectly still until it passed us. Relieved, we continued swimming again. We swam for a while until we encountered more aquatic creatures. This time, they were playful dolphins. They were beautiful to watch. There was something so magical about the way the moonlight lit the ocean and the reflection of that light coming off the skin of the dolphins. They followed and circled us for a while, almost as if they were making sure we made it safely to our destination. Just a short distance away, I could see the shoreline and some tall buildings and city lights. The sky was deep dark blue, yet the contrast of the lights from the city against the night sky, made the scene appesr like what I would expect heaven to look like in dark mode; ethereal. You can clearly see the varying shades of blue light emanating from the city. Getting closer, the lights from the city made the atmosphere appear icy blue. It doesn't feel as though we had been swimming for long before we touch the shore. There were still a few dolphins nearby when I turned around to get one good look into the distance where we swam from. I was grateful to be alive and back on land in one piece. There was a part of me that was saddened at what mankind does to the seas and ocean's and how we make it harder for aquatic beings to live. I can't explain it, but somehow noticing where the shore begins and ends, reminded me of the harm we cause them. "That's really messed up", I say to myself. Although we're here on shore, we have yet another journey. We still have to make it up, what looks like a large, sandy mound to be on the road to going home

Dream

In my dream I was a photographer and I tried to take a picture of the sunset and the moon. And in front of me I had the most beautiful view of the moon that changed shapes and colors and at the end I took a photo of the moon being full and purple while the stars shone brightly. I was into the forest and it was quiet and dark as the only source of light was the moonlight. I felt at peace at the moment and it was a dream that I had in a long long time.

Dream

I was in some kind of problem, and I can't remember the truth. I went in and slept with in my grandparents house in the room where my mother is currently sitting. My cousin Youssef was coming in and out, and I slept crying and praying it was all a dream. *Ironically it was actually a dream* When I woke up, I found Youssef bouncing on the bed, but he was still very young, and his face was not as pale as now, with blood running through it, and he was sitting laughing and joking with me. I woke up laughing at him, and looking around, I found his other cousin’s children sleeping on the bed next to me. Omar is still alive, but He doesn't walk, and Muhammad walks like in the past, wearing a purple pullover that I used to see a lot of. I looked at my hands for a long time. I was surprised that I was young again, and my entire life was running in front of me at once. At that time, I told myself that this time, I would never make the same mistakes again. We returned home. As soon as I went, I went to my closet. I threw away all the clothes I didn’t want, and my mother was fighting with me because she didn’t like that. I told her that I was free to wear what I wanted, and I kept wearing the clothes that made me comfortable. More than once, mom and dad were fighting with me. I didn’t care. One time, my father brought me a picture from his mobile phone of me, Nada, and my cousin, wearing clothes that looked like each other and carrying my brother Islam, and he said to me, “Look, how beautiful you were?” I told him "I wasn't pretty, I was upset, look at me?" I left him and sat fooling around in the house. We went out and went to the Orman Garden. It was time for the flower exhibition, and I had a lot of money for it. I asked them to let me get some plants at my convenience (at this age, in fact, I was afraid to ask them for anything, even if I needed it for school). I grabbed my mother’s hand and started buying a lot of things. Then I told her to come with me to see the lotus lake under the moonlight because today is the International Moon Day (a strange thing, yes), and somehow I suddenly grew up. I was 14 years old. My father used to fight with me and hit me because he wanted me to wear the hijab (in fact, I hijabed very young. Maybe 10 years), I called the police for him, and they took him away and he did not appear again throughout the dream. My mother kept cursing at me and fighting with me. I told her that if she laid her hand on any of us, I would do the same to her too. In the dream, I was aware and thinking of everything that had happened to me in my life. I was thanking God that I had not made the mistakes I had made before, and I knew that I was about to meet Sarah and Reem. I was thinking that I would not talk about anything that might cause me problems. No. Sexual transience and no religious ideas, until I can get rid of them. But still, I was living my age in some way. I started playing and bouncing at my leisure again, going out alone as I liked, doing everything I loved, until I met Reem and Sarah on the same day. Somehow, they both knew me, and they were both on a trip similar to mine, restarting their lives again. I completely ignored Sarah, while Reem asked me to forgive her and start over. I told her that I would never go back to her again, because what happened in my previous life with her was enough for me. She told me, “But we are changing, and in your new life you have changed. Give me a chance to change too.” I shook my head and continued on my way from alone. The dream began to get very distorted here. My family, somehow, all of them suddenly disappeared, and I was locked in our house again. I have no idea why. This time, no one locked me, but the door of the house would not open no matter how hard I tried. It was a completely incomprehensible turn of events. I entered my room and locked the door. Another time, as I was when I was imprisoned by my family in the house in real life, I started crying and cutting my notebooks and books, and I tried to commit suicide more than once, but I failed, all of that actually happened in real life when my parents locked me in the house. I was looking for my mobile phone everywhere, maybe I could talk to someone who would let me out. I found it, but it was out of charge. I turned the whole house on a charger that I couldn't find. I kept trying to remember my grandfather's house number so I could call him from the landline. I was completely unable. I went out to the balcony and the sun was still rising. I kept calling out for someone to come help me, and I woke up like that.

Dream

I was sixteen and snuck out with my friends at night, we walked into the woods and lit a fire inside a metal trash bin and started smoking weed. After a few puffs I passed the joint to my friend and looked up at the full moon, I heard a wolf howl and a voice whispered "by the light of night, there will be fright." It sounded very distant. Moments later my friends disappeared and I went looking for them. I suddenly came across an obsidian waterfall and upon walking up to it, I found myself in a trance and I started walking behind the waterfall into a cave, as I walked I was undressing. Inside the cave it was pitch black but I could see a pool, still in a trance, I got into the pool, naked, and swam to the opposite side there was a really small hole slightly above the water. Suddenly the moonlight began to beam inside the cave and illuminate the small hole, an alligator head popped out and the mouth opened up showing smeagol's head and it yelled, "by the light of night there will be fright." I snapped out of the trance and swam back to the entrance grabbing my clothes and leaving from behind the waterfall, suddenly there was a howl and a blood curdling laugh and the same phrase was said again. There was a rumbling sound and then a huge tsunami. I ran to a fence but it was locked and too high to climb, the water from the tsunami finally reached me and filled up to the top of the fence and didn't go over or through the fence, I was under the water and couldn't breath, just as I began to lose consciousness the fence burst open and then I woke up.
