...Like the corners of my mind
When I was 6 I had what I believe to be an out of body experience. Either that or it was a dream. Honestly I don't know because I was so young and my memory was just forming. But recently Stormy told me he used to be psychic and had experiences like that when he was young. Yet he also told me his first memory was of being picked up from his crib at about 1 year old. =o/ I absolutely refuse to believe that's a real memory. I think maybe people have told him stories and he's adopted them as his own. But I digress...
I used to look through the window of our old apartment all the time. In the building where my mother still lives yet in a different apartment than the one she's at now I'd look out at the buildings across the street. A projects. I have a distinct memory of looking out that window down at myself in front of that building across the street talking to Frances (my birth mother) telling her about how I was molested. I also remember the guy she was seeing at the time was there. A tall light skinned guy. I think his name was Reggie. I remember pulling her slightly away from him to tell her what happened.
Now like I said I don't know if it was a dream or not, but I know that memory is still pretty clear in my mind.
And going along with eerie events from my past.... When I was in the first grade, I remember a girl named Kim got REALLY sick one day. Kim was the "booger girl" (front like y'all didn't have a booger girl!!). And eventhough she was the booger girl me and another girl risked getting cooties to help her out that day. I never found out what happened to her, but I know her face swole up big time and she got very weak. Kim wound up not coming back to school for a long time. I don't remember how long, but it felt like a long time. I actually got worried about her booger eating behind.
Fast forward. One night I have a dream about Kim. She'd come back to class. I remember she had on colorful Bermuda type shorts. That sticks out because of the colorfulness and because it wasn't the season for shorts. I think it was fall. And her mother was in the dream. Mind you, I'd never seen her mother before. She was of average height, lightskinned like Kim and overweight.
Guess who showed up that day wearing Bermuda colorful shorts out of season with her lightskinned, chunky momma? Yep, Kim. Of course I never told anyone because I thought they'd all either not believe me or think I was looney. In fact I don't tell either one of these stories very often. The "out of body experience" is questionable, but I KNOW I had that dream the night before Kim came back.
