DREAMS...

Dream within a dream

need not ask this, i'm sure EVERYONE has experienced weird dreams or nightmares at one point. It was last night, when i had a dream about a stranger i haven't met that inspired me to write about this. Malays believe that some dreams are sign of what's to happen in a person's life. For example, if you dream about a snake, specifically a python, means someone is about to propose to you. Another example is if you dream about flood, for anything consisting water, you will get a lot of money soon. And also, if you dream about your tooth falling off, means a person close to you is going to die. Sometimes, some dreams are pre-events in reality that when they do happen you will feel like you've been here, done this. This is famously called "deja vu"

I'm not really a traditional believer. I think dreams are dreams. Probably scientifically explained that dreams are thoughts you put in the bottom of your mind and didnt think about it until you're rested. Like a computer scan that does it's work when you're unconsious.

I had a dream about a mall once. One i have never been to. And this shopping mall kept appearing in dreams about 5-6 times until it started to get freaky. Until now, i never really resolved this weird dream. But in my sleep, it's a mall i always go to. And not to mention i ALWAYS dream about meeting old friends and boyfriends i lost contact with, to find them married with children and sympathy on their faces on my luck in that department. Scary dreams are the worst kinds. I am a true scaredy cat. I HATE ghosts. But in dreams when i encounter them, i became this superhero who slays them with super religious prayers i dont really know in real life. And just yesterday i dreamed of escaping some evil villains with a friend (a dude very close to me) and getting on a boat with a mysterious sailor. Supposedly in the dream he was hot and very good looking and rescued my ass. But the sad part i was departed from this friend, didnt say goodbye... and i fell in love with the sailor (who could have easily been Popeye x.x) Upon arrival at some weird country, i told this sailor i love him but he just went away... Drama much? I think so...

So what do these dreams interprete? Meeting someone i never met before and i couldn't even remember the face. But i'm thinking he could have just looked like Tarkan or Kaka in captain's uniform (drooool~). And who was the dear friend who got left behind? What thought could possibly cause me to dream about this? And the fact that they all seem so vivid in dreams and just "poof!" disappear the moment i woke up. Maybe i watch too much tv... haha.. i don't know...

Tarkan :) hotness

Old people told me once to avoid getting nightmares at night, ALWAYS wash your legs. I dont know why though, supposedly washing legs keeps the monsters away coz they're clean? make sense, no? And recite some prayers meaning (I live and die by the name of God). The scariest dream i had was being pressed by something heavy and big causing me to choke and couldnt breathe. But this is common (or so i heared) and has many, many religious, and scientific explanation i wont bore you with right now.

Do dreams really tell you something? Or are they just drama in your sleep? If not carefully understood, it can be part of your own reality and drive you into insanity. Make a dream journal and you'll see how some recurring dream events can be really peculiar.
