I had a dream the other night that has been constantly nagging at my mind. You see, It’s the =first I’ve ever had that was like it, and I sort of feel weird when I reflect on it because it is so very different than the dreams I normally have. There is a lot to recall, so I’ll try to sum up everything but the parts that stood out.
It started out with my family and myself sitting in the living room of my grandparents house. we were talking when my phone began to ring. I pulled it out and answered it. It was a friend of mine from real life, he was in a panic and claimed that Shanoa was going into labor and she was calling for me, pleading that I be there. Now before I go on, I will clear up that Shanoa is in fact, pretty much a doppelganger from the Shanoa in Castlevania. Why she was in my dream is beyond me, as I hadn’t played the game in a very long time, and I’m pretty sure that she was just used as a sort of default character to take the place of the person in this story. Also, before continuing I should make it clear that in the dream it seemed as if I barely knew her, and hardly cared at all, as when my friend finished, I told him that exactly. After telling him this I immediately asked if he had called the ambulance. This drew the attention of my family, as they all stopped talking and looked at me. My friend replied that he had not, as her main concern was that I was there. This was frustrating to me so I snapped that he hang up immediately and call the ambulance. I hung the phone up after this statement and after a few moments of awkward silence I looked at my parents and explained the situation. My step-father stood up, grabbed his keys and beckoned me to follow. The dream skipped at this point and the next thing I remember was pulling into the driveway of a house I’d never seen before. Lights were flashing and as I walked towards the
emergency vehicle Shanoa was being escorted by a paramedic towards it as well, and the second she saw me and was close enough she grasped my hand and tugged me along thanking me for being there. When we got to the truck she got in and tried to pull me with her but I pulled my hand away and came up with an excuse along the lines of “I don’t think I’m allowed to go in there with you” She seemed very upset at this thought and begged me to get on board, and a nearby medic said that since I had her consent I was free to ride to the hospital in the back of the truck as well. I remember feeling angry because I knew for a fact this entire situation meant nothing for me, I was not the father, I did not really know Shanoa and the entire thing was becoming a burden. I got on and she grabbed my hand again, I remember seeing the doors close and the dream skipped to the DR, I was standing behind her to her right, appalled at the very thought of birth and though still holding her hand I was trying to avoid any sight of the birth. I remember standing there the entire time until the doctor held the infant in his hands and showed it to Shanoa, she looked back at me over her shoulder and smiled, but her face contorted quickly and the doctor/nurses panicked. I was pulled from her hand and removed from the room, and the dream skipped. I was in the hall of a hospital, the doctor was explaining that Shanoa had gone into Cardiac arrest and that it had led to further complications. She had died moments before he relayed this information. The dream skipped again, and I was in a long comfortable looking basement. It had a large chair and a pool table, and the lights were a warm dim color. I heard a door open and a friend walked in, nameless and faceless but I know he was a friend. I remember him asking me why I had agreed to take the child, and then my view went down to my arms where I was holding a sleeping baby girl. When my gaze went back up the the shadowed face I woke up…
The entire dream really bugs me, I’ve never been able to remember one so clearly, and the story it told was very different than anything else I’ve dreamed of. Can anyone explain to me what any of it means? I thought that if anyone could help make sense of it this would be a good place to go due to all the contrasting opinions. If you need further details just ask, this question will definitely be monitored whenever I have the chance.
I am 18 and single, if it is relevant.
