Well as much as I can remember of the dream..

​The Sleep Diaries: A Collection Of Dreams
Sophia Antunez

I have weird dreams. I know, I know. You’re probably thinking, “So?” or “OK? So do I. That isn’t abnormal.” But here I am writing about them while you are sitting there, reading all about mine. So HA!

Anyway, I have always had strange dreams, not strange as in having my family or friends involved, but strange as in I think that my dreams mean something. I have had full-on conversations with dead people I once knew, had conversations with people and then think they are real and become confused later when I am awake, had dreams where I know a person but they look completely different. I’ve dreamt that I was in a parallel universe that was made of cat vomit and the only way I could get around was to wade in almond-scented, liquid soap. I’ve dreamt of things that predict the future. You name it, I’ve dreamt it. At this point, if there were a job titled, “Government Dreamer,” I’d be the perfect candidate. I’ve dreamt up such strange concoctions, I decided that starting a segment about them was the best way to go. So without further ado, here is one of my infamous “government” dreams:

I was in New York City and it was mid-day. Traffic was bustling, birds were chirping, people were flooding the sidewalks. It was around 70 degrees outside and I was in shorts and long sleeves. I walked through an alley in order to avoid the crowd of suits and ties coming towards me. As I walked through the alley, I saw a crow. This crow was black, blacker than black could ever dream to be. I stared into its eyes and it stared straight back at me. At that moment I felt the ground shake, the buildings quake. I ran through the alley and saw that the streets had been turned into mud and water began flooding the streets. I saw the crow fly over the cars and rising water.

The water was brown and smelled of sewage. I grabbed a piece of wood and looked up into the sky. It was orange and black, as if the world was splitting in two. This was it. The end. I stayed afloat for awhile, as I swam I felt things under me. There were sharks swimming underneath me, circling. Above me were buzzards, also circling. I swam around in an oval pattern, by this time I was just above the Statue of Liberty, I could stand on top of the flame in her hand. I looked out over the city, which was destroyed by dark water, fire and corruption…

Geez. What a dream. Usually that dream reoccurs every so often. I enjoy dreaming vividly and I enjoy interpreting them as well. I have a theory for that particular dream. I am 95% sure that I predicted the 2016 Presidential Election. A couple of months before President Trump decided to run for the job, I had that dream. I felt something was coming, something terrible. The city represents America, the crow represents a warning, the water represents the government as a whole and the sharks, well you get where I’m going with that.

Regardless of what my dreams mean, they are just dreams. And if anyone knows of an opening for a federal dreamer position, will you let me know? Thanks!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
