Dream of: 23 September 2021 "Going
to the Prom"
our
youth fades farther
and
farther away with each
cold
and passing day
I am thinking about going to my high
school prom, but I really do not want to go. I am wearing a light brown suit
which does not seem appropriate. My hair needs cut. Just as I decide not to go,
I suddenly find myself in the building where the prom is taking place. I look
around but I do not see any people in this room. I see a room to the side where
people appear to have been sitting earlier. I walk into the room and see a
half-dozen plush chairs sitting in a circle facing toward a center. It looks as
if some girls who had been attending the prom had been sitting in those chairs.
Some belongings of the girls are still sitting in the circle of chairs.
I sit in one of the chairs. I am not particularly happy about being
here. I reflect that I went to the prom last year and a picture was taken
there. I had been wearing this same light brown suit at the last prom. I have a
vague memory of having left my jacket at the prom. I think if someone takes a
picture of me here at the prom this year, someone seeing the picture will think
that I have only one suit.
The girls who had been in the chairs gradually return and start sitting
in the chairs. I do not know any of them and I think they will wonder what I am
doing here since they do not even know me. My old high school classmate Scott
(probably in his teens) shows up and sits down next to one of the girls. I
think if he sees me that he will probably vouch for who I am. I think his name
is "Scotty." He sits down without saying anything or acknowledging me.
I continue sitting in one of the chairs.
Commentary of 25 September 2021
Being a social gathering, the “prom” in this dream reminds me of “Facebook.”
I regret that I never went to my high school proms. I think I would also regret
not writing my dreams on Facebook.
