I have lived in the midwest all my life and I was eleven at the time the events of 9.11 took place. Still, the day affects me deeply, as I watched it happen live on television. Every once in a while, I'll have horrible dreams about it. Some of them are me outside the towers rushing away from the collapse of one, and one actually involved a teacher of mine as an office worker that I tried to persuade to leave with me, but she was firmly rooted in her decision to stay put. Her hopelessness made it so difficult to keep heading down the stairs, but I knew it was what I had to do.
Other dreams involve events like 9.11 happening in my city, where a large plane would crash into one of the buildings in my own financial district. Some of them are post 9.11, where the Freedom Tower complex is already constructed and yet the eerie remains of the WTC still feel so present. The most recent dream was one where I was, apparently, a ghost in New York, and at a certain time of day, the towers would appear in a top-to-bottom progression, like they'd be born from fog and light. It's so strange, I was nowhere near NYC at the time, but this event has had such an impact on my life. Why do the dreams happen? What do they mean?
