Strange Dream


I wonder why I always have dreams when I sleep at night or even when I take a nap at noon. Sometimes I dream about my family and friends. I know it`s normal because they are the most important people in my life. But sometimes I dream about my old friends back in High School whom I didn`t meet for about 10 years. This is strange, why I keep dreaming about them anyway. Sometimes my dream is funny, sad and just nonsense things far from the truth. I can easily forget it when I wake up in the morning. But sometimes it bothers me a lot when it is very scary. I tried to relax my mind when I`m on bed and I prayed, " Lord, please don`t give me any dreams tonight. I just want to sleep peacefully". Last night, I had a strange dream. It was very strange because that man in my dream is someone that I`ve never known before.

I saw him sitting at the back row of the classroom. He was wearing a jeans and a blue jacket. He was a new student and the tallest among the boys. " Hey, what`s your name?" I asked. He lifted his head and said, " My name`s Peter. I was in your English class a year ago". I don`t remember this man in my class before. I`m sure he wasn`t my student. And he doesn`t belong in this class either, he can`t be here, he`s overage. A few days later, Peter and I became good friends. I saw us laughing together holding hands while walking at the park. He made me laugh more than I ever remembered laughing in my entire life. It was a very beautiful day and we were enjoying the sunset while listening to the birds singing. His brown hair which trimmed fairly was blown by the air. His blue tantalizing eyes sparkled as the stars in the sky. I saw his smile clearly reflected in the water while we were standing under the tree beside the stream. The cool spring wind blew gently as he put his arms around me. I could be myself if I am with him. It is the first time I feel safe thoughout my whole life. A feeling of love and security there seems nothing to worry about. I don`t want this time to end. I`d love to live this kind of life with him forever.
Suddenly, the clock alarmed. I woke up wondering if he is by my side only to realized it was just a dream. I don`t want to get up. I really want to go back to sleep and see what happened next. I want to finish that scene in the park. The whole night wasn`t enough to dream that sweetest dream I ever had. Beside even if I`ll go back to sleep I can`t force myself to dream such a wonderful dream again. Why I had to dream a stranger? Does he really exist? I want to know more about him if he does. Now I`m on my bed and about to sleep. I wish when I close my eyes I could see his beautiful smile again.
