No, I don’t have recurring dreams so often anymore, but throughout my childhood, I would have a dream about my family having a blondish dog but it then turning into a furry halo and flying away, somewhere in the kitchen. It was always a sad dream. My family recently having gotten a dog for the first time in almost two decades, the smell of dog brought back memories… Anyway, as a child, I didn’t think that the yellow dog every existed; I assumed it to just be my dream until I told one of my parents about it and they told me that we had a dog named Suva*. As a younger kid, around 7-ish, I think I even saw something on the ground that I thought to be the halo, though I’m fuzzy on the order of things and how big that thing on the ground was. It could’ve been a discarded condom or even a largish o-ring; I may remember things wrong and it might even be that something I saw on the ground triggered the dream. In any event,
* My father named Suva after the capital of Fiji, since he liked The Blue Lagoon, since he was/is obsessed with Brooke Shields.
子供の時、よく寂しい夢を考えていた。家族の黄色い犬は毛深い円光にかわって、風になびいた。子供の時、その犬は夢だけだと思った。でも、信じられなくて本当にその犬が言った。両親は僕がとっても小さい時、友達にあげた。最近、家族は犬を続いて勝ってる。犬の匂いは覚えさせる。
