💬 The experience: Watched Stranger things and now I feel like I'm seeing The Mind flayer in the shadows. Gosh! I had a dream of a close relative telling me something about the results of an art competition that I would be in the second position and the next day, boom! The Results were out and I was THE SECOND. And literally for the next seven days I tried really hard to focus and get a glimpse of something may be future but I think El was there for one night.
