Hello, my name is Kim! I'm happy to claim a little corner of my own in the World Wide Web. I love to blog about tips, reviews, ideas, and the little memories out of my life. 
Angry Sibling Dreams
July 28, 2012 @ 11:12 am
My brother and I have an eight year age difference, him being the older one. So when I was a kid, he was a teenager. Being like a typical brother, he picked on me and teased me and tried to make me angry or cry, all the time. For this and that, I remember crying to my mom and having him yelled at for not acting his age & more responsible. Even to this very day, as a 30 year old and me as a 22 year old, he still annoys the heck out of me sometimes with his occasional child-like mentality, lol. Sometimes I feel like the older sister. We've had disagreements where I once thought I would never talk to him again. You know, the typical sibling kind of thing.
Besides all of the very, very, very annoyed/furious states he did leave me in and still leaves me in sometimes nowadays, the best random moments with him I can name off the top of my head are: times when he would stand up for me, once when he surprised me with a copy of a Harry Potter book that was just newly released because I was in bed all day from my wisdom teeth surgery, all the times he would take me home from school and drive me places, the video games I'd watch him play, the movies we'd watch, and the video games we would play together.
Anyway! Like I said, when I was a little kid, he picked on me all the time. The hilarious thing that I still remember to this day is the fact that him constantly picking on me started showing up in my dreams as well! One night I had a dream that he was picking on me again; I think taking or breaking something that was mine. I think it was a huge fish? You know how incoherent dreams can be sometimes. 
But anyways, that led to me crying out, "That's mine! That's my fish!" and ending up in tears. I woke up from the dream (or I guess nightmare!) crying. The next day, my family reported that they heard me screaming from a nightmare the previous night. LOL. My brother's room is downstairs and mine is all the way upstairs, but the fact that he, too, heard my screaming shows that it was a pretty upsetting nightmare to me! And thus, like I said, his bullying even permeated through my dreams. I wonder if lots of little kids end up having funny nightmares about their older siblings too.
I don't have any older siblings as I am the oldest but I haven't heard anything about my 10 year old sister (I am 19) having nightmares….I guess because we are all girls so we don't act as immature as your brother did. hahahaha
That is something curious though.
Thanks for joining my giveaway. :)
I love your layout! It looks awesome. Especially the navigation.

I have two older half brothers — one's five years older and the other is, like your brother, eight years older. But, surprisingly, the one I'm closer to in age is the one I fought with most as a child. :S Josh (my oldest, the one who's 8 years older) and I have always gotten along really well. And now that we're older, I get along with both of them amazingly. Like you, I have my moments when I really want to strangle them, but for the most part my siblings and I have an amazing relationship.

Thank you! I've always loved sakuras, too. In fact, my next tattoo will probably be a sakura branch along my collarbone. I like birds, too, but that bird was mostly added because I felt like the tree was lacking. =P
My FAFSA isn't really so much about me being a good student as it is me not being able to go to school without it. =/ It's coming along, though, because my parents have finally filed their taxes, so hopefully I'll get my money before school starts.

Awe, that's sad that you had a crying dream about him picking on you! I've woken up crying before, and it's such a weird feeling. That's nice that he has done some sweet things for you at least :) I guess the age gap really does make a big difference. My brother and I are about a year and a half apart, so we grew up being best friends. Instead of picking on him, I was the protective older sister type!

I have three older brothers and the youngest one (who was still at least 8 years older than me or more, I don't even know his age haha) would pick on me the most. We'd try to beat each other up and things like that, but it never went to the point where I started crying or the point where I was having dreams about it.
Sounds like your brother had a pretty big effect on you haha.
