Reoccuring Dream

haii2uI used to have this dream every now and then of a website full of games. It was a very simply coded, early internet type of site. I don't remember any of the games (I don't think I ever played them), but the most interesting part of the site to me was the diary entries that were linked on the home page.
Through the virtual diary it's revealed that the site was made by an old man. He describes himself as very lonely and you can infer that this site is the only connection he had to the rest of the world. A lot of the entries are mundane and a little melancholic, just detailing things he'd do in his day to day life, how he's feeling, etc. In the final few entries, he offhand mentions his declining health, though nothing particularly serious. Then the entries just abruptly end, and I notice that the last one was posted a few years ago. I always wake up feeling really sad after that.
It's been a long while since I've last had that dream, and overall I think I've only had it a handful of times. Recently something triggered me into remembering it again, so I figured I'd write it down here for posterity. I wonder what it meant, if anything at all. That's the mystery of dreams I suppose.
Anyways, happy 2026. I'm still trying to get used to writing 26 instead of 25, which I know isn't a particularly unheard of problem. One problem I hope to rid myself of this year is not knowing how to properly end off journal entries so that I don't go months without posting like last year. But we will see how that goes...
