I dreamed that I wasn't 16, but that I was young. I don't know quite what age, but I felt young, and in the images going through my head I always seemed to be peering up at everything. I tw as midnight, but the lights in the basement were on and I was in the basement with my entire family. The lights glowed a very sick and bright yellow. I don't know why we were all down in there, I just remember that everyone seemed to be having a lot of un except for my dad. Next thing I know, I was in the living room with my dad, alone, with the lights off, the only light was produced from our front porch and was very cool and blue and peered in through the windows. My dad then got up with his coat and shoes already on and started for the front door. I wondered where he was going,so I asked if I could go with him, and I can't remember what he said but I think he obliged or said nothing. I was barefoot in my pajamas, but I walked with him, out the door, and left my flash light behind. He walked down our driveway, which had gravel that poked my feet, then to the right crossing the road. Once we were on the left side on the road walking toward the entrance of our neighborhood, I was walking beside him. At first it felt warm, but as we got further and further from the house it got colder and colder. And then all of the sudden I was inside some place. I don't know where exactly, or what I was doing, but I think that I was in the middle of a fame or test, but I was surrounded by crowds of kids who were all swarming around me. To the left of meat the edge of the room near the entrance I saw my dad, standing there, watching me in his red coats with his hands firmly in his pockets, but for some reason I had the weird feeling that his eyes had been gouged out. I couldn't see his eyes now that I think about it. And then, all of the sudden, I was in my workplace, in the lifeguard office, and I was sixteen again, but only me and my manager were there. My manager was telling me about how his dad died when he was twelve. After that I woke up, and I had the sickening feeling that something bad was about to happen.This dream may symbolize a journey of self-discovery and growth.
