It's harmattan season, the weather is cold and snowy. That fateful day, Jannie woke up from sleep and her mind was running through a strange dream she had. In reality she was thinking about what the dream meant, it was a warning of some kind and also like a setback. She was so unsettled on what the dream actually meant.
"I have no choice here but to talk to someone",Jannie called Helen and narrated everything to her.
"I feel you should talk to your parents about this, if your dad won't listen, I know for sure your mom would" Helen said.
"Helen, I know my parents more than you do, all they listen to is business, contracts, signing and closing deals. This will just sound like a mere dream to them but I know what I saw in that dream. Something was taken away from me and that thing is what determines my future".
"Fineee, then I think you should meet with a dream teller. I know of one who can help with interpretation of the dream you had".
They went to the dream teller who Jannie immediately met and felt a very strong disagreement with her spirit that the man is fake. She told Helen that her spirit doesn't agree with meeting this man but her friend encouraged her to give him a try.

Jannie started " I had a dream where I was about to receive an award that will change my life and someone went behind my back to frame me up as being a witch, this made the institution to revert the honor and began looking for me as a witch rather than an important personality".
"What I see from this is that you have someone in the future who will betray your trust and that person will be your best friend". The dream teller said.
He continues, "but for me to show you who this your friend is, you have to bring the following items I am about to mention".
"Hold it, I won't go diabolic to find out who will be my doom. I have already given you some money to tell me what the dream means and I feel so regretful and now you are about to mention some items. Am off here Helen". She turned on her heel and walked away, her entire demeanor radiating in fury and frustration.
"What was that about Jannie, the man was just about revealing something to us, you should have at least let him mention those items".
"Revealing what exactly, you know you are my best friend, meaning if he's truly a real dream teller he should have known I am standing right in front of him with my best friend, also coming to think of it, if he's truly right, that means you are going to be my doom, I really need to be careful with people I keep as friends". She hissed and stormed off like a furious
"Seriously? You are walking out on me after saying this nonsense that I am your doom. Was it what I saw in the dream ? I am sure you need sometimes alone to think straight, am out".
The argument led to them not speaking to each other. Helen, who became worried and concerned as her childhood friendship with Jannie, is in the mud. She didn't know what to do other than hand it over to God in prayer. She prayed over it and put it off her mind as Jannie continued keeping distances from her for months.
Fast forward to graduation
The weather was great as graduates all dressed in their gowns and caps. Families, friends and we'll all be seated. The graduates that merited awards were being called one after the other to come up to receive award with
It was Jannie's turn, her heart was on fire with so many thoughts of what she saw in her dream happening. She climbed up the podium and her award was handed over to her with cash prizes from different angles and employment opportunities. She found out that what she saw in her dream was a fantasy of her subconscious mind, she felt so sad that her insecurities, frustration and fear made her lose her childhood best friend.
After the graduation, she tried to make peace with Helen but Helen was no were to be found as she left earlier with her parents for a vacation outside the country but she sent a text to Jannie.
"I am so sorry for my actions, statement and how I left you out. My mind was so clouded in the dreams that I forgot how my words have caused damage to our friendship. You have been a very good friend of mine and I feel so bad for hurting you the way I have. I have learnt to always have confidence in my parents like you always say".
"I know how the dream you had made you felt, I told my parents everything and they told me lots of things about dreams. I am glad the dream is just a mere one. I have forgiven you and we are still the best friends we used to be. I am your friend forever,I will be back to town but can't say when. Much love" , Helen sent back.
Jannie read the text and cried bitterly as tears of joy beam on her face. She called Helen and they both United happily.

Awwwn, thanks so much for this heart warming comment . The beautiful emojis melted my heart. Happy Sunday to you @chacald.dcymt and make sure you have fun.
I really liked your story @marynn . It kept my attention until the end. Friendship is a very precious commodity that we must take care of.
Regards ⚘
Thank you for your kind words. I'm happy to hear you liked the story. Friendship is a necessity in life.
I was very glad that Jannie and Helen repaired their relationship in the end! It seemed like they were not going to be able to repair their friendship.
Thanks so very much @jayna for your support and comment on my post. You are very right, It is a good thing when friends let go of their differences and repair their one time friendship. It could be difficult to settle misunderstanding between two but the joy is endless when it achieved. Being able to let go and forgive is one way to strengthen a broken relationship.

You're welcome @marynn, it's well deserved! Congrats on your constant involvement on Hive 😊👍
I'm glad to be here.
Some important lessons are learned here. Jannie realizes that friendships are precious, and dreams are fabrications of our subconscious mind. And the dream teller did not seem to be very helpful.
Thank you for sharing your story in The Ink Well, and for reading and commenting on the work of other community members.
I'm happy @theinkwell that the story inculcated valuable lessons as expected. Friendship is special and something that should be valued and appreciated.
It is always my pleasure to read and comment on the work of my fellow writers.
this is beautiful , i enjoyed this
Thanks so much . I'm glad it worth your time.
This story grabbed me from the beginning.Very nice job on your storytelling. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much @tere.alv for the time you spent on reading and for your awesome comment. I'm grateful and glad you find this interesting.
Well that dream was just her mind giving her the thoughts she'd pondered on. That is how the mind works really and it is a powerful tool. I don't believe in astrologers, they only tell what you already know. It is beautiful to read things like this because no matter how simple it seems, things like these could destroy beautiful friendships. This story was a great read.
You are right @deraaa , dreams come in so different angles. It could be due to our thoughts and perceptions. Thoughts have strong influence on our lives. Whenever I have dreams, I make sure I sit back to reason what might have triggered my having sure dreams.
Me too. And when I do that, I realize that my dreams stemmed from processed thoughts of earlier in the day or at night before bed. Like two nights ago, I kept replaying my fears for scorpions and even saw it in my dream. That night, my roomie killed a scorpion just close to where we slept. Omoh...the mind ehn
Hahahah, you are indeed right my dear with the above statement. Even with the scorpion example, dream just have way of bringing series of thoughts into a solid memory.
One of the reasons I don't give high attention to dreams. Sometimes dreams occur via the thoughts we have in our minds and it oftentimes conflicts.
Thank God for Jannie that what she thought was her dream became are mere imagination. And also, for not going the dream teller's way
You are very tight my dear @kingsleyy . I appreciate your nice comment and support.
Jannie was smart enough to have walked out when she did because the fake dream teller was just going to rip her off without actually proferring a solution.
True friendship stands life's tests.
That's what these fake fortune and dream tellers do as a means of livelihood. Good thing Jannie was brave enough to follow her instinct to walk away. Thanks for you comment on my post, I appreciate @stellageorge.
This is a nice read and really worth it.
I thought the friendship would be over for good. But she ponder over her actions and made the right action.
I am also glad she had a good friend who reconciled with her immediately forgetting about the past.
And yeah. Life is all about trust and little should we think bad of others.
Exactly my brother @abdul-qudus , some friends wouldn't have reconciled easily when misunderstanding like this occur. But gems like Helen are worth having as friends because there is nothing like having a soft heart, it makes it easy for one to forgive and let go and that's what's shows maturity and strengths friendship.
I totally agree to that. I hope greedy people and those who are hard hearted could be able to read and reflect on this and learn one or two lesson.
Thanks so much for passing this across to us.
After the water is spilled from a glass as the same liquid is returned to the container, you can recover a few drops but never all the water, is the great dilemma that arises, I think it is difficult to recover in the same way the friendship, but the important thing is learning and maturity that we acquire to question ourselves and follow. Beautiful story, it made me reflect on the importance of friendship and not get carried away by superstitions.
@jetta.amaya I agree with you and I am happy it impactful. Thanks for your beautiful comment on my post, it means a lot.
