Great lesson from my dream

Hi Guys, trust you guys have been doing well and life has been treating everyone of you just right. I’m back again with a pressing issue this time. This isn’t in anyway part of my schedule, but I felt it strongly in my heart to post this on here.

I know you are quite surprised about the topic, well, I’ve never imagined such as well. Also, I have a different article at heart to share this February, yet to pen it down in any way, but I’ll see to it in these remaining days or it comes later in March. You can foretell how important this particular article is already.

Firstly, I’m not the type that pays attention to dreams, in most cases they fade off with my sleep because I don’t usually remember what it’s all about when I'm awake. But this in particular is nothing like I’ve experienced before, so I’d just go right on with it.

Some days back, I had a dream and in it myself and a couple of family members, mostly my cousins and some of my friends all went out for a nice time, I spent the most of the outing with my friends leaving my family to sort themselves and have fun on their own, at least they are enough in numbers for that and we were just few tables apart.

At a point, I decided to go use the rest room then I met a cousin of mine close to the rest room, all alone, she’s some few years away from being a teenager so I feel it’s alright for her to be alone there and then. Looking back now and from my observation, I realised she was a bit relieved on seeing me, funny how I didn’t notice that on the said day because I was too engrossed with the funtime I was having and couldn't wait to get back to it. She proceeded to ask me a question which states “those guys on suits, are they your friends?”, I shrugged the question off because it wasn’t in anyway relevant as none of my friends wore suit on that day to the best of my knowledge at least and I feel she was just blabbing like a child would plus I was quite pressed as well or maybe overwhelmed by too much fun, so that ended the conversation as well as the dream for that day.

It means nothing to me and funny how I can’t remember what day exactly I had this dream but the details came fully in the second part which kicks off next. I’m not a serial dreamer as stated earlier but this part has to do with families again, after all that was happening and everyone was happily getting along having a great time as expected, little did I know there would be a link to the first part narrated earlier until I met this young cousin of mine again, then she asked me same question as the other day, “are those guys in suit your friend?”, now I was in the right state of mind because for her to ask same question a second time and different days apart, means a lot more than I thought. I bent over and asked her what was it with those guys? she then said “they touched me”, I hugged her immediately and sobbed bitterly, felt like I betrayed her and denied her of getting duly deserved justice, I asked if she could recognise them, but at this point I was too bittered and angry at myself to pay much attention, so I woke up from sleep angrily and my heart was so heavy, I couldn't get over it then I knew this needed to be shared as it's beyond just a dream. I’ve never had it that bad or felt this horrible from sleep or dream before or not any that I can recall.

Up on till now, I’m yet to get in touch with her or any member of the family close to her, her parents precisely, I didn’t even brush my tooth nor had my bath before typing this, doubt I would have been able to do any of those if this doesn't come first.

Please guys, I urge us to pay attention to kids and teenagers no matter how uninteresting or meaningless they try to portray or relate it to us, let’s be patient with them and hear them out thoroughly. This is just a dream for me, but unlike every other, I’m sure it would have been worst for me if it happened in real life, because I didn’t pay attention when it was needed the most, and it will take a lot forgiving myself for it.

Anyone who sees rape as a hobby or whatever it is to them deserves castration as much as a miserable death. God help us not to fall victim and to be able to pay attention when it matters the most.

I can freely forge ahead now that I let this out. Thank you guys and keep staying safe.
