Dream Journal
It was a cloudy day at what looks like Sea Side Park. My father and I were standing on isolated boulders, nearby one another other, yet every single boulder was in the shape of an upside-down cone. Underneath us were the ocean’s tide, which was low at the point. The ground was visible but instead of sand being present, there were leaves and soil. We seem to have been fishing, for we were waiting till our line gets hit on. All of a sudden sharks and alligators came crawling from the water. The shark amazingly wobbled along side with the alligator. They were heading for us and my last memory was striking the alligator in the head.
I think I dreamt this out of guilt. When I was younger, me and father would always go fishing every weekend morning and weekday afternoon at Silver Lake Park. It was a hobby of ours that we shared passionately, but as I grew older, I stopped going along with him The dream theory of Wish Fulfillment could be applied to why I dreamt this. The reason why could be due to me missing my childhood, since fishing was a huge childhood hobby of mine.
My high school graduation is right around the corner, and everything has been going by so fast and causing so much stress. My childhood was a time of carefree living where I didn’t have to worry about what I’ll be doing for the rest of my life or trying to juggling two jobs and school at the same time.
Based off the Wish Fulfillment theory, it could also be telling me that maybe I should try going fishing with my father again

I was on a school field trip that brought us to a museum-like building when it was really a hotel. Everyone ran off the bus and immediately ran into the locker room to change into our swimwear. I was carrying a black stringed backpack which had my swim suit inside. I went into a section to change and a classmate, who I did not recognize, went with me. I remember the locker room being crowded. Someone had previous left their gym bag inside my

    “Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are really after.” Henry David Thoreau. Many men go fishing for fish, but they actually go fishing to reminisce about their lives, all their hopes and dreams, and all that they have accomplished over the years. Some find what they need, and they aren’t even aware of it.…

    One morning, we decided to go out with some of the guests from the hostel for a hike along the hills by the seashore. These hills were covered in thick blades of grass but had rock faces that were pointed out towards the water. If you looked to your left you’d see these hills go for miles; mound after mound, circular shaped huts with cone shaped roofs sitting on top. African trees as well, looking as if the wind was blowing all the branches to one side of the trunk but they stood absolutely still; frozen in time. To your right you’d see the ocean go out for as far as you can see, while standing on a cliff with an almost vertical drop. From looking at the cliffs from the sides, it showed the many trails descending down the cliffs made by mountain goats and every once and a while you could see one half way down; climbing up. Although our surroundings were incredible, the heat was as well. We went through several bottles of water through-out the hike. Our leader, an African local, lead us down one of the more climbable hills to the ocean floor where it was covered in rock. With the sun beating down on us we felt trapped because we couldn’t swim in the water, the waves were too strong we’d be thrown up against the rocks.…

    Do you remember the transition between being a teenager and becoming an adult? Not wanting to grow up and face the world on your own? I remember as a child I was unsure of what my life would consist of without my parents. Transitioning between having a silver spoon in my mouth to not depending on them. When I was a child, I was so naïve of the world not knowing anything of what life consist of. My entire childhood revolved around the idea that my life would always be easy, full of games, and not one single problem would ever be big enough to affect my life. Little did I know, the life I imagined would not be the case, and I would have to acknowledge that the sugar coating I had around life would eventually dissolve. During my early years of high school, my only concern was to fornicate with as many girls as possible, but as I started to get older my responsibilities started to expand. The last year of high school was my turning point, having to decide what career to pursue, what college I’d have to attend, and how to pay for my tuition along with rent. After graduating high school reality struck me, the idea of a perfect…

    High school was my time to stop fooling around. The first day of high school, I awoke to the aroma of coffee brewing on the stove. As I get ready to head out my sister approached me, and told me “Education is the key that opens the door many possibilities you can be and do in your near future” I was so nervous the sweat started dripping from my palms, and I suddenly felt 15 degrees hotter. I was nervous, I knew this is the time to get serious. Immediately a thought came across “ how well I do these four years can affect my entire life”. At first high school might look like a time to have fun and have no worries, which was my initial thought. Later on you start to realize that you need work hard. I thought “How would my future look? I don’t want to end up hopelessly. I want to make something of myself. Sometimes it can be hard though. I just have to work through the pain. At this point it’s make it or break it, success is my only…
