I had this dream that for the last 20 years, I was part of this family that kept spinning in and out of reality. We went on all kinds of adventures when we were outside our own time and space and gained a lot of odd skills. Recently, we'd found out the reason for all the chaos and put and end to it. We could still spin where we needed to go, but we had control over it now.
In the 20 years that had passed, much had changed. Everyone else got older. Friends died or had children. People we'd not seen in ages could now be visited, but nothing would ever be like it was. The family had been so sick of each other, but as they came to terms with how different things were, they began to draw closer together. It felt so stifling.
This was one of those really emotionally-vivid dreams where I felt such joy at the prospect of having my old life back, only to watch that fade away as the reality of the time passage began to take hold. Even so many hours later, I'm still feeling the whole mess of it. There was the disorientation from the first part of the dream where I kept moving through space/time and then the happiness of getting that to stop and being victorious, only to realize it didn't exactly make anyone happier. Uggh.
