Dream is what we have when we sleep and sometimes it comes true but at times it does not. We always wish the good ones to come to pass and the bad ones, we pray for it to be averted.
Here is my recent dream that came true. In January, I had a dream. In the dream I was with my friends from secondary school and we were having a party and we were very happy to see each other.
We sing, dance and play different kinds of games in the dream. We talked about our occupations and how life has really changed each of us. In the dream, I was dancing and shouting because it had been a very long time since we met. We had a nice time together reminiscing about the old days.
When I woke up, I was smiling because of the dream I had. I wished it was not a dream. I went about my daily activities and continued with my life.
On 29th January, 2025, I received a message on my phone from one of my friends back then in school telling me that there will be a school reunion party. My heart skipped a bit as I read the message again, it was happening in just a few weeks time.
Wow! My excitement knows no bounds, I was going to meet my friends that I have not seen for years and reunite with them once again. I quickly cleared my schedule and prepared for the day.
As the day approached for the reunion party, my excitement grew. What would it be like to see my old friends again? Would I recognize them? Would they recognize me? I contemplated.
Finally, the day of the reunion arrived. I prepared myself and made sure to look good. Then I took a cab to the venue where the party would hold. Getting to the venue, I took a deep breath, put on a smile and walked inside. The room was filled with familiar faces, all chatting and laughing together.
I scanned the room, looking for my closest friends, and suddenly I saw them in a corner grinning from ear to ear. I rushed over, feeling a mix of emotions, happiness, and nervousness. I hugged each of them tightly, and it felt like no time had passed at all.
We talked about our days in school, the funniest students, most intelligent students and the bad boys in school. We talked about the teachers we liked and the ones we disliked. We even talked about the people that had crushed on one person or the other.
The rest of the evening was for catching up, reminiscing and making new memories together. I laughed, cried, and I felt I was home again.
As the day drew to a close, we all exchanged numbers and promised to stay in touch with each other this time. I left the reunion venue feeling grateful, happy and feeling like a part of me has been restored.
That was a dream come true for me. I reconnected with my friends from secondary school and it felt amazing.
