Dreams:
22 March 2011 -- No Ordinary Hand
Saw three boats ('Kayaking') near an island, messy grasslands with messy growths. From afar a house ('kelong'), I saw these scene. It was about the 'orange snake'. Someone in the kelong (a woman dressed in Malay sarong) told someone that he is no ordinary guy. He is extraordinary...
Next, it was about Terence. He seemed to be at Blk 499 but later, it was Blk 212 Woodlands we were going to look for him.... A long dream, shall not elaborate more. Richard went to the toilet. His right hand rubbed away water on the wall. Next, the bubbles form various shapes on the wall (Squares, triangles), of various colours (blue, red..)
Words appeared on the water bubbles of the walls. Richard told me that these words are the words that advertisers or doctors used for communication...
23 March 2011 -- Lake with Brackish water
Another long dream. Managed to recall this part while I was watching Sorcerer's Apprentice. On this day, I also watched another Japanese Movie titled Goodbye, My Secret Friend. At the circular lake, 3 persons were on the boat, including me. I said,"This boat so small how to accommodate three persons?" In this dream, appeared my family members...
Next scene was that of Boon Lay Shopping Centre. It was a middle stairs, somewhere near the back of the shopping centre. At the back of the stairs was a Chinese Medical Hall (located on the first floor). In the dream, it was exactly the same as what it used to be, really got a Chinese Medical Hall or shop there. At first, I was on the second floor. Strangely, the second floor was a hospital (but in reality, it was a big furniture shop the last time I went). At the hospital, I need to do something. But a woman dressed in light green called out to me saying,"Can you help me look after my baby?" I wondered,"Why would someone not look after her own children?" The baby was crying and crying.
Later, I wanted to go downstairs. I walked down the stairs to the Chinese Medical Shop. The woman in maternity dress was there! I asked her,"Where is your baby?"
I had not seen this woman before. She was a Chinese. She might have just given birth to the baby -- that's why she was still wearing maternity dress, and her tummy was still there. But I don't understand why she wanted me to look after the baby...
24 March 2011 -- Chinese Traditional Wedding
Yesterday I had a very very bad headache, extremely painful after watching the Japanese Movie, Goodbye My Secret Friend. The whole night I cannot sleep well. Suddenly, I was 'possessed'. It was a dream, but a seemingly real dream, happening at the same bed I was sleeping, but literally it was at a hospital. A nurse attended to me. Something unusual about this nurse. I did not see her face, but managed to watch her legs or 'underbody'. She wore a white dress, those olden times white uniform dress of the nurse. And the most scary part was she got no legs at all. She attended to me, asking me to sit on the chair next to the bed. Next, I was being tied to the chair, white chair. She cut my finger nails next. She was so good at cutting the nails, very good. I was impressed. Next, she went out. Sitting at the chair, I waited and waited and no sign of her. The belt over my waist was getting tighter... I recalled my experiences at
Tan Tock Seng Hospital... It was so scary.....
Next, I got up and quickly got out of the place to have a good look at what was happening. It was doctor Koh and some others present, like a conference. Red was seemingly everywhere, a good occasion -- the doctors got business, the family got new babies perhaps. At a turn of the place, I saw a little cone 'mountain'. People had come here to place their golden dragons on this little black mountain with holes. The golden dragons looked like the Merlion. I wanted to do so, but think twice... Next, I saw on my right, a priest dressed in purple. He was doing that as well! Some people followed him. Then I saw Dr Koh choosing some gifts for his 'clients' (Patients). Someone suggested to him. It was very cheap -- $6 and $7. He decided to buy these gifts. Next, they were hanged at the counter (above the red lanterns). Someone said it was not a good idea to hang that way, but still it was being hang there...
The last scene happens at a HDB house, a corridor unit with windows facing the corridors. I was present in the house, together with my family members, the most conspicuous one was my father. He was dressed in his Montagut black shirt, his hair combed neatly...
We were in a bedroom talking and then suddenly I had to walk to the other room, and saw rain, lots of water pouring into the other bedroom, just beside the living room. But in this bedroom, there is no corridor on the left. The rain just poured in. I had to ask the people to quickly close the window otherwise the electrical applicances in the house would spoil, especially the air-con which is near the window. At that moment, I recalled how the 'possession' had 'saved' the situation (otherwise, I would not have known about these...) Next, I saw a procession going on. It was a wedding procession, that of the ancient Chinese Wedding... with white lanterns, and men wearing pants and ribbons 'marching' outside the corridors. I was so worried at that moment and I prayed....
This is the first part of the morning dream. The whole night was so peaceful, except for some strange sound to be heard -- footsteps sound, weird 'cries', and sound from Richard's sleep. Isaac was sleeping so well. After Isaac woke up, I carried him and he slept again. This time round, I had another dream about NUS Lecture Theatre Hall. Some boys were kicking balls inside the lecture theatre. How can they do that? I thought. Next, I asked them to stop, but none of them listened. I approached the student leaders. I asked,"Who are these people?" Their answers were,"Chinese Orchestra"!!!
I went to the right side of the lecture theatre. It was an open space that led to the (swimming) pool. There were steps, all covered with blue dirty water. I walked down the steps (of great height and depth). Climbing up was more difficult. As I climbed up the stairs (like those of stadium seats), I could see swordfish in the water. I had to shun them. However, I was not that lucky. One of the swordfish bite me. It was so painful that I had to shake it off. My flesh just got being pulled as well... Finally, I managed to pull it out (and my flesh was so painful). Walking up, I saw that the water was so dirty in this pool. Hiding in the stairs were more swordfish, even longer and curling up! The mouth so long and sharp... such a scary sight. I looked ahead and saw my relative there (fourth aunt, same surname as Richard)...
