I just woke up from a grisly dream. I dreamed I was a bird keeper. I had a bunch of birds of various species in cages on my property. Then I unexpectedly got sick. Something akin to a stroke. It was serious. I was away for weeks in the hospital and rehabbing afterward. When I got home, my birds were no longer alive, and animal services was after me for neglect. Nobody had stopped by to check on them while I was in the hospital.

On a smaller scale, this did happen once in real life. I was hospitalized for four days, and even though family members had a key to my apartment, and I asked them to, nobody came by and fed my cat. At least he survived and was only hungry.

Waking up from dreams like this reminds me how little I was cared about in my past. I try to leave it behind and go on with my life now, but then I dream something like this and it brings everything back.

I hope they dont happen too often. I hate dreams that make me wake up in a sweat.

I had another one recently that brought back some bad memories of being bullied in school right in front of the teacher, and the teacher not doing anything about it. People wonder why I can’t just forget the past, and the answer is, any time I try to, dreams bring it back.
