Sorry for calling..!

I had this most strange experience at the early hours of this morning. I don't dream often, in fact between each dream that much time lapses, I forget when they occur. But what I do remember are the contents of the dream. It's only because when I do have a dream, I am totally excited, like a child at Christmas opening a mountain of presents. Really, a dream is so significant to me and I often wonder why, when I do have a dream, it is of specific events or specific people.


I woke up this morning in a semi subconscious state, but aware that I had been in a dream. I often dream about events pertaining to me only and occasionally it may involve my parents or siblings but very rarely other people. So this morning this dream was strange, the events in it were odd and in no way reflected the relationship that I share with the person in the dream. In fact the relationship almost ended with animosity, any chance of reconciliation was near impossible, so the experience in this dream was in a bizarre way contrary to how things were left previously. In any case, in this semi subconscious state, I retrieved my cell phone from the bed-side and dialed a number, it must have rung because it was the ringing tone that finally clicked into by that point my conscious state and I realised what I was doing. Quickly and frantically I hung up, completely annoyed with myself.

I bolted upright and looked at the screen on the phone. It had rung for a minute, but the call hadn't been answered. By this point I am not sure what I was more annoyed over, the recognition that in an uncontrollable state I had dialed the number or the fact that it hadn't been answered?! I almost expected the phone to ring with a return call but it never did, even after sometime. I think that made me ever more irritated. But what's worse is that there was no ulterior motive, this was an event with no elements of it under my full control but I doubt others would share the same opinion.

I am glad I had this dream but I am sorry that I made the call after and I know that this is undoubtedly one of those moments going beyond human comprehension but maybe just maybe you understand why it happened?!
