Nightmare or A Link with A Falling Pillow in The Early Morning | 悪夢か早朝における枕のベッドからの落下

I had a nightmare this morning. It was such a weird dream. I don't usually remember any dreams, but this (kind of a) nightmare was another funny and weird one. It reminded me the nightmare I had before. It was somewhat similar each other.

The location is kind of a pocket between two tall residential towers. I am sleeping on a bed outside on the balcony. I wake up with strong sunshine. People in the tower on the facing side from where I am start to come out to the balconies without any guide rails or fences. They are playing with balls. It looks like mini volleyball games. People are playing happily, chasing balls.

My bed is somewhat placed on the edge of the balcony. I want to get up to move the bed to the room, but I start to have a fear of height and can't move an inch.

One of those people steps out from the balcony. The person don't realise that he/she is in the air because of too much happiness of chasing a ball. In a milli-senconds, of course, the person starts to fall down to the ground. The tower seems to stand so high in the air. The person was so tiny and clashes onto the ground with a small dull sound. People are starting to fall down from each balcony as they play the game.

I get really afraid of looking at those sceneries, so I close my eyes.

And, I got up in the real world. It was raining even close to Christmas.

夢を見た、なんだか悪い夢?
変な夢だった。日頃あんまり夢なんて見ないのに。以前見た夢(英語でしか書いてなかった)になんだか似ていた。

そこは2つの高層マンションのビル、その間のポケットのような空間。僕はなぜかバルコニーに置かれたベッドで寝ている。強い日差しで目を覚ます。違うタワーの人たちがそれぞれフェンスがないバルコニーに続々と出てくる。そして、バレーボールの様なボールゲームを始める。人々は幸せそうにボールを追いかける。

僕のベッドはバルコニーの端っこになんだか知らないが置かれていて、起き上がってベッドを室内に移したいけど、高所恐怖症のようになり、全く動けなくなってしまう。

そのフェンスのないバルコニーで遊ぶ人たちの一人がバルコニーから足を踏み外す。その人はボールを追いかけるのがとても幸せのようで、自分の足が宙に浮いているのに気がつかない。瞬く間にもちろんその人は地面へ真っ逆さま。このビルはとても高いらしく、その人は小さくなっていき、小さな鈍い音と一緒に地面に激突。このようにして、各バルコニーからもボールに熱中した人々が足を踏み外し落ちていく。

僕は怖くなって目を閉じる。

そして本当に目を覚ました。外は季節外れの雨だった。

That's weird...
You don't remember dreams you saw,
that means you sleep well or
you have a good sleep.
I think you see a nightmare
when you don't sleep well.
I hope you'll sleep well tonight,
and you'll see a fantastic dream,
and then you'll wake up happily
tomorrow morning.
