I apologise in advance for the long post. It's something I just gotta share with my fellow Kiwis!
Last night I dreamed about Chris. This is the second time. The first time he was in the Tomgirl stage, and opened up a shop in a mall. He kept simultaneously trying to hit on me and get me to buy something from his shop. This recent dream, though, he was classic Chris.
Just as an informational tidbit, scientists say that we can't remember the start of our dreams. We can only remember the middle and end.
So, without further ado, I'll tell you about my dream, along with some loose dream-reading.

-------------------------
The best I can remember for the start of this dream was that I was gathered with him in a place meant for the developmentally challenge to congregate and do some activities (an "retard recreation center", if you will). I don't remembeer what I was doing, but I remember that I was talking with Chris ... and I noticed something strange. On his right thumb, he had a growth that looked like a micro penis. Yes, you read that right! It started oozing pus after a moment and nearly everyone around us told him not to touch anything with it.
Usually, growths or other physical afflictions in dreams mean that the person is developmentally or even mentally challenged in some way. For Chris, this is an understatement. My brain was telling me the obvious in this regard.
When I wanted to leave, Chris wouldn't stop following me. He even followed me all the way into the hotel I was conveniently staying in for the night. I locked the room door before he could get it, but he somehow kept prying it open. I engaged in a short tug-of-war with him to keep the door closed before trying to escape the room.
My brain is possibly telling me that I'm focusing on him too much. But how can I not? He's a trainwreck and who can resist watching those?
The only way I've thought I could escape in my dream was to fly out the nearest window. No, not fall, fly. I opened the window and jumped out, then flapped my arms like a bird and flew away. Typical dream stuff. He couldn't reach me there!
Next thing I remember, I was with a friend near the ocean. There were some docks and a boat floating nearby, and we could see that the sky was turning menacing. Chris shows up and insists that he go boating, despite the storm brewing.
I think you all might know what this means. Even when the outcome isn't favourable, Chris will stubbornly stick to whichever course of action he wants.
My friend and I tried to warn him not to go, but he went anyway. No one ever heard from him again.
My brain's obvious reference to the fact that he's simply unsalvagable at his age. Death isn't interpreted as literal in dreams; usually, it means the beginning of a new chapter in life. Chris's implied death by being swallowed up in the sea can be interpreted as his emotions launching him into a new saga fairly soon, as the choppiness of water is usually a reflection of how one is feeling. Of course, not all dreams are right. It'll probably be a while before a new saga begins.

TL;DR: My brain made obvious statements about Chris and a likely false prediction. Pay no mind to what likely won't be true. :autism:
