Chapter 13 – Dream

I started to dream almost immediately. I was standing on the beach somewhere. I felt wind on my face, but I noticed that my hair wasn’t moving. The ocean in front of me was a deep blue that I felt was familiar. It wasn’t quite daylight, so the extra darkness made me feel uncomfortable. It also wasn’t nighttime, though. This place was odd; the sky was partially lit—almost glowing in a purple-blue, but I didn’t notice the sun going down or coming up anywhere.

Someone was approaching, and I turned to see, but as always, my movements were too slow, as if I moved in a gel that surrounded me. I wanted to see my mother, but I didn’t know what to expect.

I saw a person with a familiar walk coming toward me. But it wasn’t my mother. As he walked toward me, I realized that the person was Dave. I felt happy. The sandy dog was next to him, the dog that had been in so many of my dreams before. This time, the dog was wet, his fur was matted, and he had dirt on his undercarriage. He stood right next to Dave.

“Melia!” Dave beamed. “You did it, Melia. You saved the baby.” He reached his arms out but couldn’t really touch me, and then he lowered them, still smiling—not a bit discouraged. I smiled back.

“I’m sure you have so many questions, and it really sucks that you can’t talk. Your mother told me that like 156 times.” He seemed a little different. “But I want to tell you this—the baby’s heart was made imperfect on purpose. It was a way to hide her energy from the bad guys, so that they couldn’t see her. Her heart failed way, way earlier than they’d planned for, though, and that’s why all of this had to happen so quickly when you didn’t come yesterday—the wheels kinda fell off the bus. Now her heart is whole and her energy is hidden from them. From the bad guys, I mean.”

I had too many questions, and I felt frustrated. What bad guys? Who the heck would hunt down a baby? And what energy? I tried to focus on the dream. I also wondered about Max. I wanted to ask Dave about him.

I remembered Vita’s advice about lucid dreaming. I decided to try it. I concentrated hard and took over some control of my dream. I squatted down and wrote in the sand with my finger. ‘Why me?’

Dave sighed. “It’s not time for you to know that.”

I wrote again. ‘No signs? Like last time?’ Writing again in the sand took incredible time and effort. I was almost surprised that Dave was still standing there after I’d finished.

Dave paused. “You were too sad. We couldn’t get to the right dream point. Signs while you were awake just weren’t working out.”

I was losing the ambition to write again. But I forced myself. ‘R U happy?’

Dave smiled at me genuinely and paused before replying. “So happy.
