Instagram Dreams
Finding Bliss in a Kiss in a Dream
I’m a little ashamed to admit the amount of time I spend on Instagram — but then I look at the activity of people I’m following, and my own activity seems below average by comparison. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming — imagining how the lives of these guys that I follow must be like. It seems like they are always either working out at the gym, partying, traveling and taking selfies in hotel bathrooms. I will often brows Instagram shortly before going to bed. I think this habit has come to effect my dreams in my sleep. Last Monday morning, I woke up to the recollection of this dream:
I’m walking alone in a crowded airport, eagerly trying to get somewhere — I’m not sure exactly where. In the distance, I notice a young, handsome man walking towards me. As we get closer to each other, as we both walk in our respective directions, he appears more and more handsome. I think I know him. He looks familiar. I specifically remember thinking, perhaps I follow him on Instagram... or maybe Facebook, Pinterest or Tumblr. Our eyes lock for a moment. We walk by each other, fairly quickly. I turn around as he walks past me — he also turns around to look back at me. We walk back towards each other, almost as if there is a magnetic force pulling us together. We kiss — right there in the middle of the crowded airport — both of us succumbing to our carnal, passionate desire for one another. It is one of the most blissful kisses I have ever experienced. Then I wake up. So suddenly, it is over. I realize that I am alone in my bed, asking myself: what was that? It was just a dream. I am angry that it was only a dream. How can this be? I want to go back to kissing this beautiful man who gave me so much blissful joy and satisfaction. Maybe I will meet him in my waking life — maybe in a past life or future life.
What do you do after waking up from a dream like this? I browsed Instagram, yet again. LOL…
