I dreamed of children dying. There was a park… Everyone was gathered at the park for an event of some sort. All I remember is that the park was in the city, on a cliff…… no, it wasn’t a cliff, it was atop a parking garage. I remember this because everyone was standing close to the edge (there was no barrier, no fence, no wall to keep anyone from falling over) and they were looking down and just hanging out. Across the “park” was an apartment building. The apartments had pretty spacious balconies. There was a balcony in a certain apartment that was on a lower level than the park. There was a clearing between a few people, so I ran as fast as I could and jumped across the street and landed on the balcony. I jumped even though I wasn’t sure whether I would make it or not. I didn’t really think about it too much, and I did it anyway. I looked back at the crowd, and I was happy and relieved that I actually made it.

Then, three children attempted it. I don’t know who these children are (I didn’t know anyone that was in my dream). They had short, black hair and medium-toned skin. One jumped, but he went straight down. He landed on a small ledge from the parking garage (it was about three stories tall), but he lost his footing and he fell all the way to the bottom. The other boy jumped and landed on that same ledge, but he looked like he landed sitting down, and he wouldn’t move. He let out a short moan, and then didn’t say a thing. I looked at him in utter shock for a minute, but thought that maybe he was just in a daze. I looked around for the third kid, but I didn’t see where he landed. I looked back at the second kid, who was now crawling onto the second-level pavement of the parking garage. The people were still up top at the park, just kind of standing there. Nobody was screaming. The boy made it onto the level, and I noticed a large rod of some sort sticking out of his back. He had landed on it when he fell. The boy finally fell flat on the ground and died.

I was still on the balcony and turned to face the apartment. The balcony looked like the one I have at my apartment, but it was three times the size of mine. Don’t know how it came to be, but Nene and Mia were there. I think my parents might have been behind us, but I’m not sure. Mia was younger, though. She wasn’t two years old. She was maybe one, still bald, and able to walk. She was holding on to the balcony’s railing…. Then she fell through. My heart literally stopped, my dream stopped, and I woke up, already sitting down with tears in my eyes. It was horrible. My mamas.
