Well, it's a bit like something from a Mills & Boon book but...
I came out to Australia in September, and about a month before I left I had an amazing dream. This was the sort of dream that leaves you on a high for most of the day and makes you not want to talk to people in case you begin to forget it. It was simply being on a place I knew to be a small island (I wondered if it was meant to be the Scilly Isles for a while)and a girl with long brown hair seemed to appear and we just seemed to end up together. There was one scene, in particular, which to involved a small railway, that looked abandoned and another scene looking out to sea, with this person feeling that all I had to do would be to make the desicion to go with this girl and it would make my life a lot happier. I'd been in Aussie, travelling with friends, for about two weeks when we drove through the Bundaberg sugar cane fields. The small railways, used to harvest the sugar cane, suddenly made me think of my dream and I felt a bit like the day I'd woken up from it. This played on my mind for a few days. My friends persuaded me to come on a three day trip on Fraser Island with them, despite the fact that I couldn't really afford it, and on the first evening, a girl with long brown hair introduced herself and the next night we got a bit closer. The next night again, we were back in Hervey Bay (where we left from to go to the island) and I meet up with this amazing girl again. That night ended up with us playing on the beach, in the moonlight and looking out to sea. I realised that I'd been a bit unhappy, for quite a while, and my life had to change in a big way. I'm now hoping to be accepted on a three year uni course and not planning to return to england too soon. On top of that, I've got some pretty amazing memories of that place and that girl to help me through whatever life throws my way.
Okay, long winded and a bit slushy, perhaps, but I think I'm going to take a bit more notice of these dreams in the future.
