Bay Walk Reunion

The dream opened in a seemingly bay walk type of area, but it didn’t look recognizable as in Manila. In the middle of it was a group of about 15 to 20 people, all wearing white hoodies with an unidentifiable text print — could be a company slogan, I don’t know — matched with gray sweatpants. They were in a formation, doing some sort of a warm up exercise.

I don’t know what I was doing there, I was walking innocently like how I walk along Ayala, and seeing them do that in the middle of a public space felt very random. It’s like those groups that are funny to watch from afar, you know when it’s the holiday season and everyone’s seem to be practicing for Christmas party performances. Not to be making fond of the act but I’m just glad I haven’t been caught in the same situation.. yet.

So anyway in the middle of my usual judgmental moment, He (I know right, it’s him again), to my surprise was part of the group and was even in front, probably because the formation arrangement was according to height l o l j k! It was crazy seeing him there so I was kind of having second thoughts about saying hi, but I can vividly remember fighting [that] thought in the dream — the thought bubble was part of it — I was telling myself that I should because I didn’t want to regret that I let the moment pass by, and as sad as it was to realize, but real talk, those kind of chances are already rare. Also, why wouldn’t I, we care for each other too much!

It was almost sunset, and I stayed to wait and when they’re done with their exercise poses, I did went to him but I couldn’t recall what my opening line was. Probably something like my usual self would say, like, what was he doing there, and he went on explaining which i don’t quite remember. I didn’t catch if he said something to prompt me to emphasize how I missed him and he was pushing it hard for me to prove it further so we hugged and I had to say that I missed him again and went on to blame COVID-19 wtf

I didn’t see h e r there but I was assuming that she was indeed there too, I excitedly asked about their plans for the day thinking we could bond like usual as pre-covid — dinner and drinks. Realized though that he’s not spontaneous when it comes to stuff like that (or at least trying not be in order to control himself l o l) and I thought that maybe he won’t be cool about it so I didn’t push it.

The next scene was still at the bay walk only it was already night time, around 7-ish and we were at a different side of the area. It could be that we just continued talking and probably said hi to other people — and since it could be a company gathering, I might have been introduced to his colleagues. And what joy it brought me when we three were complete after what seemed like a couple of hours of waiting. Our forever affectionate third guy would for sure go out of his way when it’s us calling and in the dream he certainly did!

None of the other halves appeared in the scene but there’s this feeling that they’re around but they just let us bond by ourselves and waited somewhere, like in real life. It would’ve been nice if we got to the part where we actually sat down for dinner and drinks but the last thing I could remember was our third guy’s face — stressed about his wedding preparations, and that spontaneous call from us happened at the right time, and just what he needed.
