Better than Inception

This is a continuation to the previous blog post. After I wrote that post, I felt sleepy and realized I need more rest so I went back to sleep for another 4 hours. This time, I dreamt a lot!

There are too many scenes too remember. My dream is just filled with so many scenes. I don't know where to start with. I got all scrambled up.

I was on a small plastic raft, floating on the lake bank. I went into the water (or maybe I fall into it?). It was shallow, not even reaching up to my knee. I think I went up the land and saw some wooden houses. It seems to be a beautiful village here.

I knew that I have dreamt enough and it is time to wake up. So I woke up in a room with some kind-looking people in there. I think I walked around and talked. Suddenly there was this cool song that I never heard of pops out in my head. I began singing it. The song just consist of simple phrase but its quite fun to sing it. I knew this is a dream so I sang it over and over again so that I will remember this song when I wake up. Later on, I woke up and forgotten about the lyrics and rhythm. I am more emotional in dreams so songs sound more amazing in my dreams but I always wake up forgetting these songs.

I woke up in a different scene again so I tried to wake up again. I failed to wake up and appeared in a different scene. This process repeated several times, I can't really remember actually how many times I tried to wake up only to appear in a different dream scene. Everytime I appeared in a new scene, I thought to myself whether this really is the real world. There is one scene where there is an elephant. In another scene, I actually went back to that plastic raft scene.

Then, I woke up in a comfortable bedroom alone. I think this is it! No more weird scenes! Then I realize that I can see the bottom part of a staircase on the ceiling. This is NOT my room! So I tried to wake up again. I know I am slowly succeeding as I am starting to wake up in bedrooms. Finally I opened up my eyes and looked around. I analyzed the room real hard and knew that this is my real room. I quickly got up to checked the clock.

This is really is inception! I can just wake up again and again in a different dream. I never had this much dreamception before!

Cuckoo Biological Clock

Had a dream but can't remember it when I woke up. This is very common, I always wake up knowing I had a dream because I can feel a fading new memory in my brain. Well, today I'm not going to talk about dreams since I can't remember my dream today. I'm going to talk about my sleep instead.

I decided to take an afternoon nap around 6pm so that I can wake up feeling refreshed to do my assignments at night. So off I went to sleep and woke up hungry. I know it's time for dinner as it is late at night. I looked out the window and saw that there are only a few cars so I estimated that it may be around 9-10pm. I ate my dinner and looked at the time on my computer. My computer shows that the time is almost 4am. I thought there is some technical problem on my computer so I checked my phone and realized it definitely is almost dawn now!

I was really shocked as this is one of the few times I miscalculated the time. Usually my biological clock can estimate the duration of my sleep but this time my calculations are far from right! I have been sleeping for 10 hours! Usually I would have dreamt a lot for such a long sleep and remembered several scenes.

I think it is due to me having a severe lack or sleep and inconsistent sleep hours which causes my biological clock to go cuckoo.

Get it?... get it? Haha

Subconscious Writing

I have been sleeping for 5-6 hours then I started waking up in my sleep but having a hard time.

I dreamt I meet with Big Mama. There was some kind of competition here, something like a race. I think she was throwing things with such great power that it looks like she is throwing lightning bolts at us. I had to run and block the projectiles.

Then there was this scene where there is a game of dodging slow missiles. In another dream scene, there is this small cute dog following me.

Then in a final scene, I realized that I am dreaming so I took out my notepad and began recollecting these scenes that I have dreamed so I can note them down. Then I woke up, realizing that all that I have wrote down is gone! It's just a dream! So I have to remember the scenes again to record for real this time.

However, I realized that I cannot remember the dreams well. When I was writing in my notebook in the dream, I can remember all the dreams but as soon as I woke up, I immediately forgotten the details of my dreams. Is this how subconscious works? I can remember my dreams in my dream but I have difficulty after waking up. In an subconscious state, I can connect to my memory better than waking up. Is this how hypnosis works by connecting to your subconscious self to recall back forgotten memories?

Waking Up

These couple of weeks, my sleeping habit has been terrible as for I am sleeping less and inconsistent. So today I decided to have have a late afternoon nap to recover a little bit. I was sleeping for more than an hour then I started to dream.

I remember the last part of the dream very well. Here it goes:

I was near a large swampy pond. There seems to be large and long fishes in it. I counted them all and realized that there are a lot of them. I dreamed this from the memory of counting mudskippers a few days ago in a swamp near where I stay.

Then I was in a game world. I was looking at this game world through a desktop computer screen. There seems to be some problems with the game. Can't remember what are the exact problems now.

Then I realized that I have to escape from this game world. I tried to wake up but I can't. My mind is just too tired. So I jumped around and wave my arms frantically trying to warm myself up so I can wake up. Apparently, my alarm clock was ringing. I did not hear the alarm in my dream but subconsciously I knew that I have to wake up.

My mind was shaking, I know that I am waking up but it was still slow so I move around even more. I finally woke up. I was in a room covered in stone walls and weapons as decorations. I seem to be in ancient Europe, during the medieval times. I looked around at saw 2 guys, both looks like honorable warriors. One of them was sitting and the other one just arrived/ or left. I can feel that they are the one who helped me escape from that game world.

Then I woke up again. For real this time. It is around 7:38pm.

There has been a few times (quite rare actually) that I experience this phenomenon of difficulty of waking up. I have to struggle real hard just to wake up very slowly and I can experience the weird feeling and trembling of my mind as I slowly become conscious into the real world. However, I think this is my first time that I was tricked by my mind. I experience this waking up struggling phenomenon only to wake up in my own dream again, thinking I have actually woken up.

Sadness

Had a sad dream. I woke up around 8:10 am due to sadness. Let's see how it started. 

I remember walking in a courtyard. There are some yellow things in the middle of the floor so I walked over them. When I looked back, I was shocked to see that they are actually vipers! Two of these fearsome-looking yellow snakes are resting together on the ground. They looked disturbed from me walking over them but luckily they are not threatened to be aggressive yet. I was really lucky that they did not strike at me. 

Then there are more forgotten moments.

In the final scene, the courtyard is now full of people. There seems to be an event here. A guy walked over to the vipers which are now resting against a wall. I shouted asking him to watch out as those are deadly. He ignored me and lifted those snakes but it turns out they were just a bunch of harmless objects. I cannot believe how was I able to confuse them as snakes just now. I clearly saw that they were vipers. Now I am feeling embarrassed.

Then, a powerful figure came - a lady, which looks like Hela from Thor: Ragnarok. I felt intimidated by her presence. She went over to a cupboard and rummaged through my stuffs. She took out a rare coin from my coin collection. She held the coin as she marveled at it. The coin is a golden 50 cents with a different symbol on the back as the usual ones. She pushed me around, made me feel weak and small. She look through my collection without my permission. Luckily, she put the coin back and left the cupboard. I was near the cupboard feeling really sad and weak as the tall brown grasses behind me waved against the breeze seemingly comforting me.

The lady was standing at the auction table before leaving afterwards. I walked over to the auction table only to realize all my coin collection has been auctioned off, and the buyer was the lady! I asked how much were my collection sold for. The auction guy told me he sold them all for only 9 dollars. I felt really down, loosing my precious collection for a mere 9 dollars. I tried to cheer myself up by thinking how high the value of 9 dollars is.

I woke up, still feeling sad.

Hela can see the values of treasures so does this mean

my coin collection is indeed that valuable?

Fieldtrip to death

Finally woke up at 5:13am. I actually woke up at around 3am and earlier but slept afterwards. Each time I woke up with a dream but will forget them after continuing sleeping. I slept a total of about 10 hours. This is indeed a long sleep, with a long dream if combined. I slept with the lights on for this time, not sure whether it has an impact on my dreams. Without further due, let's start with the dream!

I was stranded in an unknown place, possibly in a foreign country. I saw a group of students boarding a bus. They seem to be finishing their fieldtrip and are now on their way back to their university. It seems like they are from the same university as I am so it would be good if I boarded their bus as well to get back.

So I sneaked on board the bus and sat at the 2nd last row of seat. It seems like a van inside the bus with the smaller space and less seats. I tried to make friends with the students but they seem unfriendly and did not try to converse much with me. Maybe I dreamt about this because in my class I am often left out since most of the students do not know me. 

One of the boy managed to have a good talk with me though. He listened to my problems. He then asked me if I mind taking a ride on a Mercedes-Benz back to my place. I was confused for a while so he explained that he would call up somebody to pick me up with his Benz and send me back home. Come to think of it, this boy looked wealthy. Even by the way he dresses and speak, you know that he is rich. Getting his friend to drive over to pick me up and send me back to the university which could be hundreds of miles away sounds like a lot of trouble so I declined and told him I can think of something else myself. I told him I can even drop off at the next city and take a flight from there.

While on the road, I was looking out at the window. The bus drove up to a higher ground along a cliff where you can get an unobstructed view of the sea below. I saw a mountain in the distance and I quickly pointed at it saying that it is Mt. Fuji! Then, I looked closely and realized that it is not. The students nearby began to laugh. What an embarrassment.

We stopped at a checkpoint to rest and have some food at a cafeteria. At first, I wanted to sit with these bus boys but I was called by someone in another table. I realized that it is my lecturer - Dr Jure, so I went and sit with her and her students. She then suddenly asked me a question, saying that it is a hidrological question. The question is something like 'what happens if a tiger urinate in a river?' I don't really know the answer as I have never heard of anything like this but I tried to act clever in front of the students anyway by answering the question. Somehow I managed to explained my answer, about the urine flowing down the river and affecting the ecosystem in a good way.

The bus then resumed its journey. We arrived at the border gate. The gate is quite small and made of zinc. Seems like a simple immigration border facility. They opened the gate for the bus to enter and park. It is quite late so it seems like we will be spending the night here.

This area is quite large. There is a dorm where the students can stay in too. I wandered around the facility without entering the dorm yet. It was quite late at night when suddenly few students are rushing towards the office with a scared look on their face. There are 3-4 of them. They went into a large Avanza car and rested in there. I went over to the car to hear what's wrong. They said that there is some paranormal activity in their room. There seems to be ghost disturbing them so they do not dare to sleep there tonight. While they were talking, I realized there is something off. Something feels strange and not right in the atmosphere. I kept myself alert for any danger.

I have a feeling one of these students is possessed. Then, one of the student went out of the car and stand few meters away, at the side of the road. He/she took out a automatic rifle and start shooting at us. The students quickly panicked and ran away. Some of them are unfortunately shot down. I, however, jumped into the driver's seat and started the car.

I realized that this is no normal paranormal activity. This facility is in fact, secretly an science experiment facility which does mind experiments on the visitors that stayed overnight. The border officers here are in fact the enemy!

I saw one guy in a smaller car, possibly a Myvi. He seems to be taking out a gun to shoot at me too. Before he could do that, I started the car by pressing on the start button. I drove fast and rammed into the side of the car, directly into the driver's side. He took quite a shock but he seems to be uninjured. I reversed the car and crashed into him again. He seems still alive so I repeatedly reversed and rammed into his car. I was thinking about four things. One - I can really drive well for my first time because I have never drove a car before. Two - I have to be careful that I do not get carried away and be shot at this close range. Three - I hope that my car won't get too damaged. I may still need to use it. Four - Why won't he die! I really need to kill him! In my dreams, I usually show no mercy to my enemy and try to kill them. This is because even in real life I could understand that villains are most likely to take revenge afterwards if you give them a chance to live.

So with the last ram, I killed him as he had his head facing out of his window when I crashed at him. I drove back and saw a group of officers underneath the tent roof preparing their guns to come at me. I turned the car and drove really fast towards the tent. One of them was already out of the tent, charging towards me. I drove into the guy and crashed the tent hard. The tent collapsed, seemingly killing everyone. I know in real life you wont die from a tent collapse but this is a dream!

There were more soldiers coming out with their guns so I parked the car in front of a building. I climbed the roof of the car and jumped into the 2nd floor window. I entered into a dark restroom. Seems like the dorm. There are some people resting so I also relaxed. I thought to myself, this is like an adventure computer game where there is a safe rest house for you to rest and heal before continuing the journey.

This is when I woke up. Still feeling sleepy but I forced myself to wake.

Later on, I actually went back to sleep again, but for a while only. I dreamt about entering a washroom and can't find the male rooms. I realized this is a female washroom because all the toilet doors has the female symbol on it and there are only ladies in this washroom. I went out and found the male washroom next to it. I woke up then. Maybe I really needed to go to the toilet.

Before I dreamt about all these, I had an earlier dream. I was with a fat and ugly woman. We were quite intimate because I realized that she is my wife. At first I don't want to have sex with her but then since I realized that she is my wife, we had sex anyway.

Embarrassment

Woke up in great embarrassment. Glad it was all just a shameful nightmare. It is only 7:50 am and I had only like 6 hours of sleep but I felt awake now and really afraid to return to my sleep. You may be wandering what happened?

It all started one night when I was in an area which seems to be an empty stage prepared for some public function. Then it changed to the next scene.

The next thing I remember is that I was back on my bed, waking up from a dream. I checked my news feed and was utterly shocked to see my photos being viralled. There is a video of me on the stage singing in a crazy mood. I must be drunk!

I tried hard to remember what had happened. I remembered that I had a cup of alcohol before going to the stage. Maybe that made me drunk suddenly so I acted weird on the stage?

I watched the video and heard myself singing. Of course it is awful! The stage is decorated with blue color and the logo of Barisan Nasional. It seem like the place is set up for a political campaign and I was on the stage singing crazily to entertain the crowd. Everyone was happy and laughing at my performance. I felt really ashamed of myself. How could I let something like this happen! Singing badly is one thing. Performing publicly in a political party campaign is another thing which will get me hated my majority of the people who dislike that party.

I don't know what to do. Feels like my life is over now. All I can do is just accept my fate and man up. So that is what I told myself. I am confident that I can face this and bear my shame sportingly.

Then I woke up, feeling really great that this is not real!

BTW, this party (Barisan Nasional) actually lost in the recent election
Maybe my dream is an omen that they will be defeated in shame?

Scrambles

3 May 2018. Woke up. Almost 8am now. I slept quite early last night, probably around 8pm and woke up a few times. This is one of my longest and best sleep. I was really tired because I had not slept the night before. I think I had a lot of dream from my long sleep but as usual, I only remember some of the best scenes. However, this time I actually remembered more scenes in detail than in most of other sleeps. Alright, let's just start with the dreams.

It was raining heavily. I looked out from my apartment window and was shocked to see the village houses below are submerged in waters. The flood levels have risen to the roofs! Normally, in real life flood does happen occasionally in this village but only up to a meter or less. I felt like I have to get my camera to photograph this scene! I have this strong habit of photographing things. I carry my camera around in real life to photograph things that I don't want to forget. I have this strong urge to photograph anything that is out of the ordinary. Turns out even in dreams I brought this habit with me. Even in an old dreams I regularly photograph fictional weird insects or spiders I have never seen before in real life.

Now here is a longer dream. I was visiting a large public washroom, I think. Usually I always dream about toilets when I am holding my pee in my sleep. Then in another scene someone came to my room. Somehow I don't want to get caught so I quickly play dead or fainted. A large fat guy which I have never seen before came and inspect me. He carried me to a  patient trolley and pushed me outside. A Chinese lady came to see me. She looked familiar from my real life which I have not seen in a long time. I continued not moving to not cause them any suspicion but once in a while I open my eyes a little to peep at the guy.

When they are gone, I quickly got up and escaped. That is if my memory is not wrong because I can't remember this part well. However, in the next scene, I had safely got away and was travelling through a grassland with some shallow hills covered in short trees. The low sunlight angle was nice and it made the place into a magnificent scenery, one of the most breathtaking scenes I have witnessed in both my real life and dreams. I looked around in awe.

Then I arrived at some kind of base. A group of commandos (good guys) have taken over an enemy base. The base is small with a few one-storey simple wooden buildings. These commandos have grouped around a large manhole which is the entrance to the enemy's underground hideout. Looking close, I realize I know these people from real life. One of them is Pearl, who recently organized a workshop where I participated in. She really looks like a badass female commando here with her big assault rifle. Some of the commandos have already jumped into the holes and the rest are guarding at the top while a few are spreaded around the base.

Is the dream trying to tell me that girl with big guns is my type of fetish?

I was trying to get closer to the manhole then suddenly the enemy's backup force attacked. I looked behind as a commando was mercilessly hit by hundreds of bullets endlessly. By the number of shots he received, I know we are definitely outnumbered by a larger group of enemies. We definitely have to retreat! Then I retreated by waking up.

Morning has arrived. I looked at my phone for a while then fall back to sleep.

I was dreaming that I was resting on the bed too. I felt great comfort and a little sleepiness.

I woke up again for good this time.

Eruption!

Suddenly woke up because of a bad dream. I quickly checked the time, it was 2:12am. I was surprised because I have only been asleep for slightly more than an hour but it felt like several hours. I did not sleep the night before so did this affect my time perspective? Well, let's just continue with the dream.

The first part of a dream is that I have returned from a long vacation. I arrived home and get my keys and some other stuffs from my neighbour. In truth, the neighbour and my home is fictional as I don't recognize them in real life.

I went to a large pond for a rest. I felt a little tremor and thought it was nothing. Then I looked at a nearby hill, steam and smokes are rising from it from different spots. I began panicking, I recognize it as a volcanic sign. Steams began releasing from the pond too, it is being heated up. Then the ground started cracking so I jumped onto the rocks on the pond which started breaking too. I jumped from rocks to rocks to quickly get to the other side.

When I reached the other side, I looked back and saw that lava are oozing out of the pond quickly. I tried to run but I felt like I have problem running. It feels like I can't force my legs to move quickly . The lava flow towards me at a frightening speed until it is only a few foot away. I thought to myself, this is the end, this is how I die. Then I woke up!

Anyone in the mood to play 'The Floor Is Lava'?

Badass Again

Woke up. 9:40am sharp. Had this badass dream again like last night.

Do you know Black Dynamite? Yesterday's badass dream is more like John Wick, but today's like Black Dynamite. Black Dynamite is a different kind of badass as he is a serious guy in a funny atmosphere giving you a light and happy mood, unlike John Wick who is serious in a solemn environment giving you the more seriousness feeling. 

So naturally this is a long dream but I can only remember 2 parts of it. Here goes....

I was in an unknown place. Mostly deserted but there are few buildings. Looks like outskirt of a city where they have cleared the land to start developing infrastructures. There is a river with few trees along it. I walked along the river, with my camera, looking for stuffs to photograph. There is this thick bunch of mangrove trees next to the river where there is a crowd of white egrets just sitting in there. It was a magnificent view so I tried to photograph them but there seem to be something wrong with my camera. I realized the photo was not clear and the camera I am holding is not mine. I am holding a small DSLR with a long white telephoto lens.

Sadly, I could not remember clearly after this part

There is a scene where I was in the building looking out at a teacher bringing his students for a walk outside. The teacher stopped by and looked up to me.

In another scene, I was walking around the building during the rain. I saw my camera on the floor outside getting soaked in the rain. I ignored it because deep inside I know there is no help. The camera is indeed beyond save.

Then there is a scene where an old fashioned train was traveling on the railway. Someone who looks like Black Dynamite was on top. He fought a group of people in a funny way. After the fight, Indian girls were dancing and singing to cheer him for his victory. The scene was indeed colorful.

John Wick Role Model

Woke up. It is almost 7am. When did I slept last night? I remembered lying on the bed around 10-11pm fighting my sleep. I was very sleepy but I tried to stay awake as I still have unfinished stuffs to do. Anyway, I had a great sleep with a great dream. A dream of ACTION! It has been a long time since I last dreamt of action-packed dreams. In this dream, I was as bad ass as John Wick!

So to keep it straight. I actually forgotten my dream because I am writing this after a few weeks. I do remember though that I fought a group of guys. I fought as badass as John Wick.

Virtual Reality

Woke up before 9:30 in the morning. Slept for about 5 hours. There is a lot of dreams I barely remembered. The older ones seem scrambled in my head now.

The latest dream is about I was trapped in a small virtual reality world with 3 - 4 other people. We can freely do as we please here and we each ruled a part of this world. However, I still feel lonely as we are confined to these small fake area. We planned to improve our strength to be more powerful and maybe break through this world.

This is the rough synopsis of the dream. I could not remember the details now.

Peculiar Children Captured

Woke up very late, close to 11pm. Slept near dusk because to tired from outdoor activities earlier today.

We were in a car. Driving down/ or up a hill  through zigzag roads. There are hills around us, it seems that we are somewhere hilly. I thought of Kundasang area. This hill is very steep as the roads are made compact zigzag up for safety. I wondered how dangerous it is if cars were to fall from above.

My dad suddenly needed to stop as he had to give out a call so we drove away from the main road and parked in the middle of a neighbourhood. The neighborhood are full of houses but nobody is in sight when I looked around from the car.

My dad got out of the car to speak to the phone while the rest of us waited in the car. In the car there is just me and my sister, and the driver too. I overheard my father talking about somebody inviting him for something. He seem irritated on the phone.

In another scene, we were driving through the neighborhood street. We passed by beautiful-looking churches. Simple colors but the architectural designs are amazing. All these churches are lined up together along the road. I could not believe there are such beautiful buildings built here far from the city.

The scene changed again. This time we entered a building in the neighborhood. Just the 3 of us. Not sure where the car driver went. We were escorted by someone who owns the place. We entered what seemed to be a dormitory room. The are 3 simple bed in this very simple-looking room. In fact the room is below simple, everything is too cheap here. I realized this is where we will be spending the night in so I chose a bed. My father seems to know about this place.

Then this part of the dream becomes confusing. I will try my best to make sense of it. The owner of the inn is the one is angering my dad earlier in the phone I think. I think he tried to invite my dad to stay here. I tried to say praise the guy, maybe because he allowed us to stay here. To my surprise, my dad scolded me and I kept quiet. My dad showed me a video about how the guy mistreated and abused children. My dad seems to care about these social issues. When I think of it, he seems to be the president of this country and the driver is his second-in-command. He seems to be busy going places to solve social problems. No wonder he is always angry.

Then the exciting scene arrived. I found myself and my sister caught by some enemy. Several other children were caught alongside us too. They seem to be from a orphanage under the protection of my father. And the orphanage they came from is a place for "strange" children.

I saw that these children are separated behind a tall red wall and they are clinging on the top of the wall but still won't be able to climb through. Several people were there with a video recorder to record each of them. These cameramen were quite close so the children tried to attack them but were unable to reach. Then before the cameramen finish their recordings, all the children, almost at the same time, used all their effort for their final strike. I can see the boy with sharp claws reached up and clawed at the camera, the children with black oily hands smothered the cameraman with oil, and so on. All the cameramen were attacked but left uninjured but rather irritated. The children were pleased with their final attack so they ran out of energy and fall back down from the wall.

In one scene, a young lady broke into the captive room to rescue the children. There are 3 children in there. She seems to be from the orphanage too, an elder child, already a teenager who was not captured. She looks like the female titan from Attack On Titan with their detailed muscular body. The children were of course happy to be rescued but the lady has different plans for them. She was too caring for them since the orphanage. She felt like she is a mother to them. For this, she brought a new kind of device. She a a red rope tied on her arm which looks like an artery. The "artery" on her arm then elongates and spread towards the children, connecting to their body. Now she has full control of them like extensions of her body. Like this, she can become more powerful by using these children's ability and perfect teamwork and at the same time protect these children from future problems.

Back to the scene with me and my sister. Both of us are held captive in another dorm room where each of us are provided with a bed. There is a guard keeping watch in the room with a long gun. I don't dare to make any suspicious move as he seems like the kind who will actually use his gun.

The guard walked around the room threatening me that he will shoot me if I do anything suspicious. He handed me a phone and asked me to talk to the phone after listening to it. He was pointing his gun ready at me asking me to answer the phone when I'm ready. I listened to the phone but was to nervous to actually understand what is said in the phone but I know if I were to answer, my family will be in danger. If I don't answer, I'm dead. I rocked my body back and form trying to ease my panic and possibly getting ready to pounce at the guard when he is least prepared. The voice in the phone has finished but I continued listening to it to create some time. He eventually went to the window and sat on it for a rest. My sister is still sleeping on her bed opposite the window. It seems that the drug effect has not worn off yet since the kidnapping.

However to my surprise, my sister suddenly woke up in shock yelling "kasihan papa" meaning that she feels pity towards dad for us being captured. She saw the guard next to her and and attacked him. I also sprang forward at the same time so both of us can overpower him. I hold down his gun as he was focusing on my sister. I turned the gun away and tried to spin it till it breaks. It seems like my sister and I are genetically modified to be stronger than average. We attacked him until he is unconscious. Unfortunately, my sister fell and I saw 2 pairs of bullets have hit her. Another pair of bullets missed and hit the floor.

The bullet is silver in color and are shot in pairs by the gun side-by-side. It turns out these bullets are not fatal but act as tranquillizers so it did not reach deep into my sister's flesh and only punctured halfway through her skin. Some blood came out and she began to faint. I lift her up and realize how grown up and slim she has became. I presume to carry her away.

Then I think the story ended here.

The Examination

Woke up at around 7am. Slept last night quite ill so this dream felt like a nightmare. 

I was in the class. I seem to be in the middle of an examination. My teacher, Miss Yati who is a real former teacher. I remembered that I failed her past examination so she gave me another chance to attend this examination with the new batch of students. I looked at the question asking about writing an essay about some Chinese thing so I jolted down some points. Then a was distracted and began talking to the student beside me. Before I know it, examination time has ended. I was shocked as I have not really wrote even a proper paragraph. The little points I wrote down were in Chinese language. What was I thinking! My teacher can't read Chinese language! I had to do something, I had to write more! I quickly forced my brain to think of what to write then I saw the teacher left the classroom. She has collected all the student's exam paper and did not waited for me.

I quickly ran out of the classroom grabbing my exam paper trying to catch up to her to hand it to her. However, she was nowhere on sight. I quickly walked to the faculty to look for her office but then I was distracted again as soon as I reached the faculty building. There is this large pond in front of the faculty. A large book floating on the water caught my eye. The front cover is facing me and it says "Beetles of the World" or maybe "Beetles of Borneo". It is quite a thick book and old-looking too. I lay open half submerged on the water surface. Strangely, there were real beetles - large black dung beetles feeding on the book. As I observed it, I think a guy swam over and entered the book. The book at slowly moved and grew into a van. I saw the man as the driver in the book van as he drove the van out of the deep pond and drove away. I was really confused but I remembered what was I here for so I quickly continued my journey.

As I get closer to the building, another teacher that I know - Miss Tina, called out to me asking who am I looking for. She thought I was looking for Miss Maria from the Business Department but I said it's not her that I'm looking for. In real life, both of these teachers never taught me. Miss Tina is from the Business Department and Miss Maria is not. 

I finally got inside the building and at the foyer, I realized I was with two of my friends - Ho and another guy. Suddenly I saw a pink spider on the floor so I pointed it to them. I wanted to photograph it so I took out my camera and got down. It was moving around so it make photography tough. What a cool pink-colored spider I thought. But as I was photographing it, I realized that I am just photographing some kind of dark brown cockroach! 

And some point, I looked at my examination paper and was shocked to see that it is soaking wet and tearing apart. What a terrible condition it is in! How could I submit this to her! 

I was really feeling hopeless and guilty. I was given a second chance to pass the test but I threw it away again.

When I woke up, I felt so happy as it was just a dream. Thank you for reminding me to try my best in not failing the second chance I am given. 

Students' Hostel

Woke up at 10am. Still a bit sleepy, only had slightly more than 7 hours of sleep and I am also down with the flu. Remembered a strange dream I had which is made from a bunch of old memories. 

There is one scene where we were sitting together. We arranged chairs in a circle at sat facing each other, few of us. I recognize them as my former classmates from my Chinese high school. This seems to be a reunion. It seems that some of of them brought their parent so I tried my best to act cool and speak my best Chinese language.

Then in another scene, I was in a university students' hostel. There are several concrete buildings around me when I looked around. This place looks a little different from the hostel I used to stay. I went out of the paved path into the grasses to take something. Two girls students where standing behind me. Apparently they are twins, and they are using a camcorder to record me.

I just went on to take something on the ground. Can't remember what it is. I heard the twins are recording me to see whether my behaviour and movements are similar as theirs. While walking on the grass, I stepped on some mud and fell. I felt embarrassed that the twins are recording me. They must be chuckling.

I got up and saw how dirty I am so I decided to go for a bath. I walked up a hostel building and can't find my room. Instead, I reached the highest floor (about 3rd or 4th floor) and realized the whole floor is a kindergarten with toddlers in classrooms. There is a small grass field on this floor too for these kids to play in. I wondered how could it possible to have this large of a field on this narrow floor. It is physically impossible. I think the teacher came out and saw me and that made me embarrassed. I went down and realized the floor below is a kindergarten too! How come I never noticed this? There is also a grass field here.

I left the block, and went to another block. I then realized I was in my towel only covering the lower part of me. Since I am outside where there are students looking, especially girls, I sucked my belly in and made my torso look more muscular. When I passed between two blocks, I heard a girl's voice calling out to me. I looked up and saw two girls high up calling down at me. One of them is on the balcony while the other is crossing a sky bridge which connects the two female hostel.

Oh No! Girls! I am extra embarrassed when girls see my body. I waved back and began walking fast as they still keep on calling me loudly. This is actually what I face in real life where some of the more friendly and outgoing girls like to keep on shouting at my name from a distance. 

I think I finally found a public toilet where I can finally have a good bath. Then not sure what happened after that before I woke up.

Robbery

Woke up at roughly around 7:30am feeling very thirsty so I drank some water and went to find food before sleeping again. In addition to that, my sister asked me for a small favour. When I was at my bed about 15 minutes, I realized I had dreamed previously but with all these distractions after I woke up, I immediately forgot about the dream. Usually as soon as you wake up, that is the best time to remember you dream but if you have done several staff after you wake up before you tried to recall your dreams, the dream memories may be lost, unless it is a very powerful dream which will stick to your mind.

So I slept again quite fast as I was sleepy with only 4-5 hours of sleep. I was in fact still thirsty when I slept again. The water I drank was unable to quench my thirst. I must have had been dehydrated during my sleep last night, probably due to the bowl of macaroni I ate just before I slept, making my body using up a lot of water to digest the food. So I still managed to sleep did not know that this thirst discomfort will be giving me nightmares (same phenomenon when I get strong dreams from illness discomforts) So I slept for roughly another 2 hours and woke up few minutes past 10am. What a crazy nightmare I just had!

Want to hear about this nightmare?

I was spending overnight in my friend Ezri's house in Semporna. In real life, Ezri's house is in Kota Belud which I have actually stayed for one night.  So there were 3 of us in the house, Me, Ezri, and his white girlfriend. We were doing some normal social activities together in the living room. Like talking and maybe watching some films. His house is quite a spacey 2-storey terrace house.

Then I noticed insects started flying into the living room. Ezri found some cool insects. I know he loves it so I pointed at a green hooded praying mantis under a chair near him. It was soon late and time for some sleep. Ezri and the white lady went upstairs to his bedroom and made love. It was only then I realized she is his girlfriend.

I have forgotten which bedroom I was allowed to sleep in so I wandered the house feeling sleepy. If I have lack of sleep nowadays, in my dreams I can feel tired too. I could not find my bedroom and I don't want to disturb Ezri so I thought to myself maybe I should just sleep on the sofa in the sitting room.

Before I decided to sleep, I went to the door because I saw it open. I wanted to close the door but then I saw a guy just outside the door holding an long axe-like weapon. He was using it to poke and the door. At first he looked familiar so I was stunned. He looked a lot like someone I know - Jeff. Then I realized he got friends and all of then have long sharp spear-like weapons. They seem to be covering part of their faces so I instantly knew that this is a robbery!

I sternly shouted at the one near the door. I asked him what is this all about and I warned him to stay away from the door. He looked at me calmly and walked in raising his weapon. I stayed back frightened. He came in with his friends slowly following behind. He and his friends pointed their blades and me, almost close to my neck, asking me to be quiet and not move.

If it is just one person, I can pick up a fight but with these many people, I know I can't win. So I slowly back out and kept quiet, letting them search the house for valuables. They then all left as quickly as they came. I quickly went to check my backpack and face my worst fear - my laptop has been taken as well!

I felt so frustrated, so angry, so sad that they had taken the laptop. I have lots of important things in there which I have not backup yet. It became a small commotion as soon as people heard about the robbery. My mom came over and I told her how upset I was about the laptop.

I then somehow went to look for those robbers. I went to a apartment building where I suspect they would strike next. I went up and found that they are rummaging a room for stuffs so I went closer to get a better look at the robber. I saw his face clearly - quite skinny. He then saw me peeping and raised his spear. I quickly ran to the stairs and as he chased after me. I bolted down the stairs as fast as I could. I know that he would not be able to catch up to my speed. I only fear that he will throw his weapon at me. In reality, I am really amazing in running down the stairs, so far nobody has beaten me in this.

I reached the parking basement soon enough and hid behind a pillar. He reached soon after but failed to find me so he boarded his bike and rode away.

I then dreamt of other short random things like a young girl visiting asking me and my mom to fix her purse. Just needed a thick stitch in the middle.

So that's it!
I woke up and was very relieved to see my laptop resting unharmed on my desk. Sometimes nightmares are good for you as it makes you appreciate your life with the people and things around you.

DragonBallz

Woke up at 12:01 noon. Had been sleeping for around 9 hours. Most sleep that I have in this couple of weeks. More refreshed and had longer dreams. I had also less fatigue in my dreams. Usually when I have less hours of sleep these days, in my dreams I will feel tired and restless.

Without wasting any time, let's continue with this dream!
I know that I have several dreams last night but I can only remember the last one well.

I was in the world of Dragon Ball. You know that famous childhood Japanese cartoon? So in that cartoon, I am a member of a diabolical monster group. I think I am an orange-colored skinny monster.

So one day we decided to attack a hero, which is also a monster but a blue-skinned short and cute one, ironically, resembling the villain Emperor Pilaf.

Emperor Pilaf

We monsters flew into a city plaza and found the hero walking in the middle of the plaza. There are many other people in the plaza too but not crowded. The monsters in my group flew down to confront him. I stayed afloat in the air looking down at them, expecting the fight to happen.

Then the hero mentioned that he has no interest in fighting as there are innocent people around, it will only cause collateral damage. He told us monsters that we are free to attack him and him only. He will bear all the attack himself and he will not fight us this time. I was touched to see the hero with such dignity and honour.

The rest of the monsters started charging towards him to attack. I decided not to join in as this hero is of the purest heart which I do not want to fight. So instead I flew and hid behind a shop's side signboard to watch their fight from here. I was trying my best to float while hiding behind this small sign that I did not actually pay notice to their attacks. I then somehow floated higher and higher away from the city.

The next thing I know, I was in a different scene. I am on a building rooftop which has a small hut house. This seems to be a small monster hideout where I live. I walked around and saw my mates doing normal stuffs like cooking, eating, and sitting. 

I am sure there is more to this dream but that is all that I can remember.
