Bad Dream
Bad Dream
“I had another bad dream,” she told her fiancé. “It was
about you again. You and your ex-girlfriend were kissing. I yelled at you to
stop it. You looked right at me, and then you laughed at me! She laughed, too. Then
you both went back to kissing. I tried not to watch, but when I covered my
eyes, something pulled any hands away. I tried to leave, but my feet were glued
to the ground. Finally, I woke up. Of course, it was very difficult to get back
to sleep.
“ I had to drive home from Las Vegas this morning. It’s a
wonder I didn’t crash 50 times. Instead of seeing traffic in front of me, all I
saw was you and her. I can’t take any more dreams like this. We’re going to
have to break up. We can be friends, but just friends. That way, I won’t be
jealous anymore, and I won’t have these bad dreams anymore.”
“Why didn’t you call me up and tell me about your dream?” he
asked. “They say that the more you talk about and dreams, the sooner you’ll
stop having them.”
She disagreed. She thought that the only solution was to
break up and be just friends. She loved him, but these dreams had become so
frequent that she was actually afraid to go to sleep. She was losing weight and
having stomachaches from the stress.
He didn’t know what to do. He wanted her to have pleasant
dreams. He wanted her to have a life without stress. He wanted her to be his
wife. This was it, she repeated; if she had just one more bad dream, they were
through. He squeezed her hand, but said nothings.
