August 7, 2026 I dreamed I was in a forest in Nanyuki with my high school best friend. The forest belonged to a wealthy family. It was a familiar place because, in real life, my family used to buy milk there when I was in primary school, and my friend and I would sometimes hang out there during high school. We were near the river when we saw the watchman. At the time, I was wearing a bright red hoodie with "Horny" written on it (it's a clothing brand). We immediately ran. While running, I suddenly found myself alone near the area where I currently rent a house close to my college. When I got home, I changed into an Arsenal T-shirt and returned to the forest. This time, I found the wealthy family's children playing in the river, so I joined them. While we were playing, the watchman appeared again. This time he didn't recognize me and asked where I was going. I lied and told him I was going to ask for milk. For some reason, he disappeared, and nothing happened. It then started raining. Neither I nor the rich kids had sweaters, while everyone else did. We kept playing in the river until the thunder became strange. Instead of normal lightning, it looked like powerful electric shocks striking the ground. One strike lasted much longer than the others, moving across the ground while continuously shocking it. Everyone ran into a building on the opposite side of the river, and I followed them. After leaving the building, I met Purity from college. She looked different from real life. She was wearing an all-black outfit, had an afro hairstyle, and was with a female friend I had never seen before. Purity told me she had a PlayStation. It looked old and unlike a normal PS3. She said it couldn't connect to the internet. I told her I also had a PlayStation, even though in real life I own an Xbox 360. I told her I had an Ethernet cable that might help her connect it online. She asked for my phone number. While saving my contact, I wondered whether she should save it as Edwin or Juice WRLD, which is what I use as my WhatsApp name. Instead, I chose Edu. She looked genuinely happy after saving my number. We hugged. Just after that, Mwangi appeared. He looked surprised, simply said, "Edu, twende," and we left together. At that moment, I woke up.
