Lucid Dream

post #227

I was walking down a marketplace. It's very familiar. Yeah I recognized it. It's the marketplace of which I spent most of my childhood. I kept on walking. Wait a minute. I knew that girl. She's a member of a forum, just like me. But I never met her in person. She seemed tired after studying so hard. I offered her a massage and she said ok. I massaged her feet and she seemed to enjoy it by the way she closed her eyes and smiled. Her feet were smooth and delicate. But I had to end the massage. I continued walking and saw her boyfriend was sitting a few steps along with someone else that I also recognized. Hey, that's one of my colleagues, the Jay Chou wannabe. I looked to the other direction then I saw her. Still as beautiful as I could remember, but she looked different. She looked...so sad.

I talked to her, asked her what happened. She bursted into tears. I instinctively wrapped my arms around her shoulders. She said, "Why does he do not want to try? I've tried so hard to make it work. I've always been there for him, supporting him. But he never does the same, instead he was so easily say it's over. The marriage is off!" I just listened. I've never been good in this kind of situation, seeing a girl cry leaves me weak to my knees. I tried to sooth her, caressing her shoulder to calm her down. Our position was not too comfy, at least for me coz I must support her weight with my right arm, but I wouldn't trade that moment for anything else.

My eyes suddenly opened. Darn!!!! It was a dream, a very vivid one. I looked at the clock and realized it's one hour earlier than the time I was suppose to wake up. I've trained my body too well I think. Even without setting the alarm, I always managed to wake up at a time I intend to. Way to go, biological clock, you just ruined a dream that I've never had (nor remember) for quite some time.

My heart was beating faster, my right arm was trembling, like it had been supporting some weight. What a dream! I tried to focus and regained consciousness. What was that all about? How could I be dreaming of her? Because me and my homies talked about her earlier? What did the dream mean? What the.....???

Slowly I tried to get back to sleep. I knew the dream wouldn't continue. It's abruptly stopped and gone in the midst of unconsciousness. After a few minutes, I was drifted to sleep once again. I woke up an hour later, a bit late but still remember the lucid dream I had before. I wonder....

What does dream tell us? Does it contain encrypted message? Message about what? The future? Hidden and unknown desire? Unspoken feelings? What does it affected by? Can it be engineered? Or is it just merely things that pop up in our mind which are affected by our previous activities? Like RAM that still contains last few applications data though the PC is hibernated or shut down? Hmm......


The Everly Brothers - All I Have To Do Is Dream

Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream


Dream, dream, dream, dream (till fade)
