212

April 9, 2020 | Malaysia | 20-29 years

I've always paid attention to dreams with numbers, if I'm fortunate enough to wake from them with clear memory.

In this dream, everywhere I went, I was seeing 212 and 112, 212 112, 212 112. On street corner signs in an unfamiliar place, on my cellphone as the time or as some incoming message or call, on posters and billboards and I was very confused and agitated until I woke up.

Googling informed me that 212 is Manhattan's area code? And 112 is a global help line like 911. I don't live in the US, but it definitely doesn't take weird dreams to know that the people of New York are in great distress.
