In my dream my childhood friend appeared. He was my closest friend. We were kids again in an above-ground train station. We rode the trains and they twisted and turned all over the world, there were stops in China and under the ocean. A lot of the stops were in or above jungles, the rest I can't remember. I was having fun until I heard the utterance of "Tanzania". Before I knew it my friend was gone, on another train and I didn't even say goodbye. I guess he went to Tanzania but in the dream I assumed we had lost each other since the trains were getting to all parts of the world within minutes. All the people around were dark figures, all wearing dark winter coats while me and him were tanned wearing t-shirts like it was summer. At this point I woke up, my last memory was the sight of his buzzcut leaving my life.

I awoke crying soft tears. The dream progressively reminded me today that those days as kids spending endless summers together were over a decade ago. The good old days were destined to be short-lived, my dream only stretched out the ruins of a blissful childhood.

I was in a dark building, can't remember that part too clearly but I walked out through an emergency exit. I entered a sunny, warm wheat field that was cut in intricate paths. There were weird birds similar to cranes and flamingos scattered around, but not quite like them. I sat down to meditate but decided it would be dangerous, walked back and a Cheetah was prancing almost in my direction, I ran and it chased me but it was curious and playful. This cheetah a lot larger than normal, and it's shiny fur looked so gorgeous reflecting the sun and camouflaged through tall stacks of wheat. I recall turning out to stare at the landscape and saw the most beautiful thing I've ever dreamed. In the vast distant wheat fields a humpback whale leaped out far away and fell softly and silently down the deep golden sea.
