The Dream
It happened again: last night I had that dream again. Maybe it is because the last thing I did last night was walk up to this library, start my blog and walk home thinking about the inexplicable things that have been happening to me.
Over the last few years I’ve had a terrifying recurrent dream. You couldn’t call it a nightmare because there are no violence, pain or fearful elements in it. The most fearful thing is its recurrence over the years and the effects it has had on my everyday life. The dream is very simple: my life is completely back to normal, I’m still an internationally renown professor and, as I’m in the middle of a conversation with somebody, be it a colleague or a student, the person I’m talking to suddenly stares at something above my left eye. I try to carry on the conversation as nothing had happened, but I know what’s making my interlocutor look so nervous: my eyebrow has abruptly turned indigo. The reason I know about this sudden change in my appearance is due to the fact that I’ve had this dream so many times I perfectly know what has happened and how it is going to continue.
Nevertheless, last time just like any other time, I found an excuse in my dream and left the person I was talking to in order to go and check my reflection on the first available surface. As expected, last night as a million nights before, the image that was reflected on the glass door of my office showed a pleasant, middle-aged man whose left eyebrow was indigo.
The first times I’ve had this dream I found it slightly disturbing, but it has become quite obsessing over the years. I carried out an extensive research on the symbolic meaning eyebrows have in dreams. All books seem to agree on the fact that eyebrows denote that the person who dreams about them will encounter sinister obstacles in their immediate future.
Someone has booked this computer so I have to go, next time I’ll tell you more about my story. Today I’m still shaken because of the dream so I told you about it; it’s part of my story anyway.
Talk to ya’ later
