A Dream: The Jordan Todd Chronicles

I had an odd dream this morning. One of those dreams that both during and after seems so real that it affects you on an emotional level. This dream specifically is going to sound ridiculous, but for some reason for me it felt sincere, real, and important. Some parts I remember as being very specific, other parts I only remember generally. This is what I remember about the dream.

The dream starts out with me as a teenage boy. At least this is how I felt. I had a mother who had adopted me but I am unsure as to how long she had been my mother for. She was a strong woman, someone who was serious and always in work mode. However despite her slight hardness and strength, I felt like she cared about me. It is extremely important to mention that the manifestation of this mother figure was represented by the actress who played Sarah Conner on the T.V. show “Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles”. It is also important to note that other then me watching the television show with my roommate, that I have recently watched the movie “300” where she played king Leonidas’ wife.

The dream then moves forward in time. I am living with either my real mother or another adopted mother and her partner. We are living in a slightly altered basement suite that I currently live in real life. My real life siblings are there, I remember my brother Jesse specifically. The next scene happens outside. I am working on a shingled roof of a shed when I look down at my mother (who should be my second adopted mom or my real one, but instead I remember her looking like Sarah) and ask, “Don’t you think it’s a little strange that my old mother is the same person that is in the two DVD’s (Sarah Conner Chronicles and 300) inside our house?” She seemed to simply agree with me as if she knew and it was a normal fact of life.

I then felt the overwhelming urge to see my old mother Sarah. She then ends up coming and visiting me, only this time she is on crutches (she was also recently on crutches in the show that I’m following in real life). I say right away, “Oh come on!” I was frustrated because she was playing the role of Sarah Conner, even though it had seemingly been established that her two characters were fictional and that myself and everyone in the dream realized that.

That was the last part of the dream that I can remember. I woke up at about 7am feeling extremely emotionally attached to this mother figure. It was an odd dream, like most I get and one of those dreams that affects me on an emotional level after I wake up.
