My Continuous Dream
Based on a True Incident
I don’t know why, but I keep getting the same dream again and again. It’s always the same place, the same time from my past, just shown in different ways.
The dream takes me back to when I was around 11 to 14 years old. At that time, I was living at my grandma’s house.
Our family was struggling financially, so my parents sent me and my sister to stay there. Life was not easy. As a small child, I used to cry every day, longing to be with my mom.
That was also the time I changed school from a matriculation school to a public school. The atmosphere was completely different.
On top of that, my mom’s sister and others in the house never treated me the same. They even hit me sometimes. I felt lonely, broken, and out of place.
Every day felt heavy, like I was carrying a bag full of tears.
Now, more than 10 years later, life is much better. I’m with my mom, I’m safe, and everything is fine.
But still… I keep dreaming about that house. That school. That period of my life. It comes again and again, like my mind refuses to let go.
Why does this happen? Why do we relive past pain in our sleep, even after healing in real life? If anyone knows the reason, do comment. Let me know…
