Dreams

Do you dream when you sleep?

What kind of dreams do you have?

My dad used to tell me - the harder you think about something in the day, the more you'd dream about it at night. Ever since my mum decided to go meet Buddha, I seldom sleep well. Sometimes I dream about her. But it is getting better... slowly... but i guess, surely... Recently, I dream about the BIG event organized by our college. In my dreams, I rehearsed bringing those participants on their outdoor trips. Heck, I should get double my pay, I'm working even at night.

I think grandpa also once told me - certain dreams are a subconcious reflection of your 'past life'. Since childhood, I have this recurring dream of warriors riding horses, brandishing swords, galloping through ancient shophouse alleys, & making thunderous war-cries as they rode. A scene of chaos, a scene of war. Perhaps that's why I do not fancy wartime movies. I shudder to think that I could have been a head-chopping, bushily-bearded, slogan-bellowing warrior.

Perhaps dreams are just meaningless replays of the day's thoughts. Perhaps they are sometime deeper, linking the present to the past. Perhaps all of us dream, but not all of us remember the nights' dreams. Perhaps it all doesn't matter to you.

But one day, if you hear of someone who can decipher dreams & hence trace ur 'past' & predict ur 'future', assuming he is no phoney fake, would you go to him? Would you want to know?
