Just a Dream
My Interplanetary Memories
Interplanetary Travel
Today, I had a dream while I was traveling with my spaceship towards the planet I will arrive at in the deep and dark space. In my dream, I was living on planet earth. It was as if I had never been to space. I had a simple, ordinary life. I had a house with a garden and a few cats. I was happy. At least I looked happy. As I was walking down the street, there were people who saw me and greeted me with a smile. I could smell the flowers that had just bloomed in the gardens of people's homes. I was taking a pleasant walk on the road surrounded by trees, accompanied by a gentle breeze, listening to the chirping of the birds. This beautiful walk was accompanied by calm music in my mind. And then I find myself on the main street of the small town I live in. The weather is clear. The sun is coming in through the shop windows. There is a peaceful air. I'm walking slowly on the sidewalk. And then, as I pass in front of a shop, I see the waitress serving the customers inside the shop with her unique smile. She is a young and very beautiful girl. The sunlight hitting her white skin makes her look gorgeous. I can't take my eyes off her for a second. She is so beautiful that when I see her, a smile forms on my face. My heart starts beating faster. A sense of peace begins to fill me. Everything goes quiet all of a sudden. After the young girl leaves the food in her tray on the table of the customers she serves, she takes the tray under her seat and moves towards the kitchen counter. After placing the plates full of food on the counter on her empty tray, she moves towards the tables again. We make eye contact after serving customers their meals. She looks at me and greets me after making that cute smile. I can tell you that at that moment my excitement was at its peak.
I hesitate to go inside the shop. Was this a casual greeting to every customer? Or was it a greeting to someone familiar? I guess I'd have to go inside the shop to find out. I slowly push the wood-framed glass door of the shop and enter without trying to attract too much attention. As I open the door, I hear the doorbell, indicating that a customer has entered. I guess it's impossible to enter this shop without attracting attention. When I enter the shop, a small table for one person, right in front of the shop window, catches my eye. The wooden and aged chair looks as if it is waiting for me. I slowly make my way towards this inviting table. When I arrived at the table, a voice from behind me called out to me in a sweet tone, "Welcome". When I turned around, he was standing right in front of me with his lovely smile. “How are you?” he asked me without hesitation. At that moment, I realized that we had met before. But when and where we met was not in my mind. I was stunned to see him in front of me. I paused for a moment. Then I answered his question by saying "I'm fine" "how are you". "I'm fine. Breakfast?" she replied to me. “Yes,” I said, shaking my head. "Okay, like always right? I'll get it right away." He left me saying. I watched him walk away from me for a while. Then I turned to my desk and sat down in my old wooden chair. I started to talk to myself, "We're getting to know you". "But when and where did we meet?" I asked myself. I could never remember. On the one hand, I was very happy with this situation. We were meeting him. Maybe we were close friends. Maybe we were lovers. Maybe I was one of the customers who came to the shop where he worked every day. A lot of sentences starting with maybe had formed in my head. I would have preferred the waitress to be my girlfriend.
While I wait for her to bring my food, I take a look at the shop. A nice town restaurant with a quiet atmosphere. A song from the nineties is playing inside. More than half of the tables are full of customers. I think this little restaurant must have good food. After a while, I realize that the waitress is coming towards me. I guess the food in your tray must be mine. Just as I anticipated. When she comes to my table, she asks, “Did I make you wait too long? You brought me my breakfast before I could even observe the whole shop," I replied. She started putting the food in her tray on my table. An omelet, some quince jam, a piece of egg bread, cheese and a few olives. And a piece of hot tea.
While I was having my breakfast, she continued to serve other customers with her beautiful smile. I still couldn't take my eyes off her. She was a very beautiful girl. I think I was in love with her. When I was halfway through my breakfast, she suddenly appeared next to me. "What are you doing tonight?" she asked me. This was an unexpected question. “Nothing,” I replied to the girl. "What do you want to do? Where do you want to go in the evening?" I ask him. "Maybe we can take some things with us and drive up the hill and watch the stars? What do you say?" she asks me. "Sure, it does. Great idea." I answer. I really think it's a great idea. I wake up as the girl walks away from my desk. I was all alone in my spaceship. I started to feel bored and the urge to cry started to form inside me. I wanted to close my eyes again and go back to that town where I was happy. I was having a hard time keeping myself from crying. Those beautiful moments of my life were suddenly gone. I did not expect a dream to affect me so much. I was very curious about the continuation of the dream that I had seen. What did I do while waiting for nightfall? What did we do with that pretty girl when we got to the hill? Will I ever see her again in my dreams?
Would I be able to live the life on earth only in my dreams?
