I had a dream about this boy, he was mistreated and abused and grew up to be like an animal. Less than an animal, even. He had no emotions and no cognitive intelligence, he was a human-shaped creature and full of aggression. It wasn't his fault, he was destined to be like this. Then I dreamed of his death, and the Grim Reaper came for him. The Grim Reaper saw that he never had a chance and took pity on him, and gave him not only a second chance at life, but gifted him with emotions and intelligence, and adopted him. He was a strange thing, with a mind and a heart and an existence that came from Death.
I don't know how or if the dream relates to this, but I woke up remembering something that somebody asked me, once. It had something to do with whether or not I had some kind of mental disability, or abnormality, or something. He wasn't being mean, he was asking nicely out of genuine curiosity, and admitted that it was something he had wondered about.
It is something that I sometimes wonder about. He is not the first person to have wondered that, and I have also found out that in my early school years, my teachers were concerned and wanted to test me. Mum insisted that there was nothing wrong with me. They did some behavioural tests, to see how I understood and followed instructions, and when I did very well, Mum insisted they not test me further.
Today I woke up wondering with the idea that it might be worth making an appointment with a psychologist and finding out for sure. I probably won't get around to doing it, though.
what an interesting dream! you really should make your dreams into at least a short story!
ReplyDeletei agree with your mum, there's nothing wrong with you. we're all unique with our quirks and 'abnormalities'. what is normal anyway? but if you're concerned about something, maybe you should make an appointment. we all have our problems too, and when was the last time anyone had their mental health checked? i think it's important but something australia in particular has a stigma against.
