I had a dream when I was 15 in which I was "dead." I was still on earth and unharmed but somehow I knew I was dead. I was talking to my mother about where I would be going later (apparently I had some sort of scheduled appointment to "move on."). I asked if they had a TV "up there." She said they did. I was happy because that meant I could watch Star Trek. I also had to pick out a pair of clothes to wear for eternity. I decided to wear black because it went with everything. The dream ended while I was still deciding which exact pair of clothes to wear. |
