Mecca Of Crazy Dreams: Icarus

You know how they say God or your subconscious sends you messages in your sleep? Well this dream really made me think.

This dream starts out as a 1970's movie starring Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby played a track star, who everyone loved and admired, until one day he broke his leg, forcing him to not be able to run anymore. He sat and loathed for days and days, and instead of trying, he gave up on himself. One day, out of his newfound boredom, he created a pair of wings, and decided to try and fly across the river to the other side of the city. At first he keeps crashing into the river, but then he gets support from the local community, and he keeps trying, eventually suceeding in flying and taking off across the river.

Then the dream switches to present day, and it was more like a remake, only this time, the lead character was female, and instead of being a track star, she decided to give up on life because she felt like she wasn't good enough, so inspired by the movie, she decides to make a pair of wings and fly across the river to the other side of the city. At first she keeps falling in the river, but once her family finds out what she's doing, they support her and she decides to keep trying to fly. One day, she sees a few people by the river hanging out, and decides to show off her new skills, at first she stumbles, but she succeeds in taking off in flight..across the river.


Now, I know this dream has something to do with what I said the other night. I proclaimed that this time if school didn't work out, I was giving up. I am really sick of trying and never getting anywhere, not knowing what to do. My family tells me not to give up, but honestly sometimes, not to sound loathe-y or anything but I have really run out of reasons to go on.
