Just had this one the other day.
I had a dream that some kid threw an American football somewhere and I had to go help him look for it along with his mom. It had fallen in one of the many yards within an alley behind houses (where people's garages and such would usually be), but we didn't know which one. It was a weird set up though, because all the yards were kinda open for people to just kinda walk into. Like, there were fences, but there were openings in each fence (no gate). Before you got to each fence, there would usually be a lot of flowers and such, then the fence, then the yard. Then past the yard there was just nothing but sky or there was a house. Honestly, the yards looked a little like a burial ground now that I think about it. Each yard kinda looked like this just a lot wider, and imagine there wasn't a gate and the bricks were actually a black fence like the black gate: https://www.inglewoodparkcemetery.com/2022/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Shakespear-Gardens-022.jpg
Walking through the alley looking through these yards, I didn't really notice how quiet it was since me and the people were talking, saying thing like, "Mn... nah, I don't see it in this one" and such. Eventually, I was looking in yards faster than the people I was helping, so I ended up finding the football in someone's yard. I picked it up and admired the flowers and path to the yard in front of the gate. It was only then that I noticed how silent it was, and the people I had been helping were pretty far back, standing in the alley as if they were puzzled or stumped by something. Like, it looked as if something made them take pause for a while. I told them, "I found it!" And they kinda didn't react much, just kinda quietly said, "Alright let's bring it over here". I was about to do that, but I felt oddly uneasy. They were looking at one yard as if they were watching someone/something-- but whatever they were seeing should have been something I would have seen since I had already looked for the ball there. I couldn't see what they were looking at though because a few houses were in the way. Before I could find out... my alarm went off. I'm not sure if I was meant to stay to see what it was.
I'm thinking now that perhaps those yards which I thought were just backyards/side yards were all actually family burials that everyone had conveniently next to their homes.
I usually don't remember my dreams so vividly, so perhaps... someone's trying to contact me... or some foreshadowing since a lot of people in my family are sick at the moment... |
