Cantar De Procella

Had a very strange dream this morning.

I was in Greece, in Athens, but in an area I don't know. Felt like Pallini, I was walking in an empty street during day. Then somehow my teacher was there, and we took a bus together. She sat opposite me and asked me about my

diziness, insisting I told her what it felt like and what kind of diziness it was. I described it to her as best I could and she frowned, a look on her face that worried me greatly. I tried asking her to tell me what she was thinking, to tell me what she thought was going to happen with my diziness but she didn't, and the time to get off the bus came. We both stood up and went to a house that belonged to some aunt of mine. Or to my mother,not sure.

We went inside and there was my mother alright, and a few of my aunts. More kept coming. They didn't know my teacher but they accepted her with warm embraces and being really happy to see her. There was quite a bit of commotion around, but everyone was having a good time, talking and laughing. Don't remember any faces. Apart from...at some point I see someone sitting on a couch and when I got closer I saw..Claire. Yerp, Claire of all people. She looked different, more serious somehow, but definitely her. I kinda froze, she didn't look suprised at all. I greeted her, then left the room to go into another one that looked like my old one to...look for something better to wear. I was struggling to find something appriopriate when people starting coming into myh room asking where I was and wanting my company. I laughed saying I was just trying to look nice for them and got out. And I see a little boy on the floor. And it was..Kai.Dumbstruck,I look at him, he looks up at me, smiles, and opens his arms.I dive to hug him and he was genuinely happy to see me, and a few minutes later there comes Grace. She was happy to see me too and hugged me, it all felt very warm and..strange.
I left the kids after a while and mingled a bit, but my mind was set on Claire. I finally plucked up the courage to go sit next to her and talk to her. At first I was a little worried that something was wrong with her being there and all but everything was fine. I asked her how Luke was. She said he was fine, nothing else. I was burning to ask her more, but knew I couldn't. And it did feel very awkward. And then something clicked inside me and I turned to tell her, clearly moved, that I was really glad to see her and the kids, and I genuinely felt it. She smiled, and took my by the hand to show me something. She brought me to a table with some old pictures and names, and some of my aunts gathered around too. I don't remember the details but she started showing me pictures of her relatives and yellowed thin pieces of paper with names, something like a family tree. And at some point...the sister of one of her grandmothers, was married to someone who was connected to my family. In a most imperceivable way, she was trying to show me that we were actually linked. Through family. And of course, that meant Luke too.

And I freaked out.

I was just standing there, buffled, unable to get my head around it. I started mumbling things like "but it can't be, I met him through an online game, that's just crazy, how can he be family it's impossible stop messing with me". I kept on looking at those old papers and she was just smiling understandingly, and my aunts all around me were smiling and patting me, as if they understood my confusion but were urging me on. It struck me then how there were no men in the room, just women - apart from Kai of course. I looked around me and around that time I started thinking "This is a dream...and it's a very strange dream, and I don't understand what it's trying to say but I'd better remember it when I wake up".




Καλημέρα.
