Ephraim David

I dont know about anyone else, but often when i dream it ususally comes out fuzzy and strange. By the time i wake up i usually forget everything about it, sometimes there will be lingering memories but it is easily forgotten within 3 minutes.

Of course there are some dreams that are so vivid, i couldn't shake off the memory. it is as if some dreams are like different types of glue. some are those cheap ones that cant hold anything together, and very few ones that can repair sculptures and act as cements.

while having coffee with the gang today, I witnessed a dream i had last night unfold itself as i met Nancy. " Damn, its like Deja Vu" i said to myself.

..wait.. it's not like Deja Vu, it IS deja Vu. i met her exactly the way i dreamt it. in a coffee shop with the gang !


so this Eerie considence has lead me to remember this dream i had last month that i cannot shake off for the life of me. so it goes like this....


i was in a regular school auditorium. I was sitting in the middle section close to the aile on the left side. i decided to get up and exit the room. A woman who sat behind me follows and get up with me.

She was beautiful. Her hair is of warm brown silky chestnut color tied into a low neat bun. she had side bangs that frames her face perfectly. her complextion glows with the beautiful colors of beauty. Her eyes are gentle and her lips are a perfect soft pink color. she wears a long flowy green gown consist of other soft colors, like the ones of newly bloomed flowers of spring..soft pink.. lavender.. brown.. gold....
She was holding a baby, wrapped in a soft white blanket.
she looked so familiar..


"wait" she says, her voice has a perfect ring to it like a romantic song.
i stared at her awed by her beauty, then it hit me.. she's my vision of Demeter.. our mother earth.

"this belongs to you" she said, handing me the baby.
"what?!" i said, shocked. " there must be a mistake, i dont have a baby, I ...i..i never gave birth!"
"you do my dear" she chimed. "i know you don't remember, but he is yours, you must take him now." she said laying the baby in my arms.

"he..." i said.
"yes" she said turning to go.
"wait !!" i shouted after her..too late she was gone.

suddenly the baby felt extremely heavy, my kness started to give into the weight. But in fear of dropping this little bundle i gave all my strength to straighten my legs... suddenly.. he wasn't so heavy anymore.

I opened the little spaces in the white soft blanket where his little eyes poked out to take a good look at his face. His eyes were like mine, tiny nose, pink little mouth. he was concious, staring directly at me. he bagan to wiggle his hands out of the blanket.

"oh baby" i cooed. "how can i be your mother.. i.. i dont even know your name"
then he lifted his two little hands and place them on my cheeks, suddenly i heard a voice. the voice was not human, it sounded like the whispers of the Wind.

the whisper said " Ephraim David"
i gasped, then closed my eyes and all i saw was his name "Ephraim David"


then i woke up. Startled, I touch my empty stomache

i couldnt help but feel sad.. as if i didnt have enough time with my .. "son"

as if it was impulse throguh loss.. i went and search wildly for the meaning of "Ephraim David".
