Epic dreams of having missed 2 concerts in a day, of being in a post-apocalyptic zombie world, and having a whale that introduced me to the waterworld.

I realised I had two concerts to go for in the midst of the second concert (I believe it was Sara Bareilles, Jo!), and I was nowhere near the event. There was a paroxysm of shock and regret and urgency to catch whatever is left of the second one. I rushed to the concert theatre and it was a weird dark place with crammed but plush seats and falling roofs and scaffolds all over the place. Upon reaching, I saw a group of people leaving and I thought the concert was over, but that group was from a different theatre. I enjoyed the last few songs she sang.

In the post-apocalyptic world, I was stuck in a house with a few others and there were zombies trying to break in. We had no choice but to arm ourselves with crossbows and escape into the wild.

The whale. The whale was my friend and he wanted to bring me places. I needed to be somewhere far and he was more than willing to take me around. I latched myself onto his fins and he swam. It was thrilling and beautiful and majestic… until I realised that whales swim deep, and they can hold their breaths way longer than I could. I panicked but was reassured that he wouldn’t go deep. He teased though, and I held my breath and we went under a couple of times, but mostly we were swimming near the surface.

I just realised this whale story sounds almost sexual. But it’s not.

I just remembered this.

Last night I dreamt my younger sister, who happens to still be a toddler, was possessed.

I had to tip her over, holding her by the ankles, to look into her eyes, to drive the spirit out.

I woke up sweating. I hate dreams like this.

I had a superhero dream last night.

I could control the power of the wind with my hands.

We were running away from the bad guys. Apparently me and Jin kept some sort of doll that all the bad guys want. We kept it at Charmaine’s place.

Cut scene.

I had to retrieve the item at Charm’s. I was outside of her house, trying to sneak in in the middle of the night. The door was unlocked, I sneaked in and saw Charms sleeping on the bed. Felt like a pervert. Suddenly I heard noise from the other room and then I had to dash out. I ran out of the house (silently). While taking a breath outside I heard the door being opened. I dashed to the staircase and used the power of the wind the jump out the window and flewwwww.

Cut scene.

I was in a park and realised that the item was taken away by another group of bad guys. But these were weaklings. I could tear them apart with my power of the wind. So I gave chase.

Cut scene.

I was in a classroom with 2 teachers and 30 kids. I have no idea what I was doing there, but I knew the 2 teachers were part of the puzzle. I wanted to use my power on the teachers but I told myself No, the kids must not know of my powers. They must not know. I left.

Cut scene.

Was in the forest and saw beautiful orb-shaped flowers with a glass unipetal that twirled and swiveled in my hands. Some even grew into a pitcher plant, containing poison. I thought I could use these plants as bombs against the bad guys. (Shit, maybe I had the power to control plants as well and I didn’t even know it.)

Cut scene.

I managed to retrieve the doll from the bad guys. Jin, Charms and me, we were running running running. I had to use my power of wind to make them run faster because they were slowing down. We needed to get to Jin’s house, the safehouse, and we can’t lead the bad guys there. I pushed Jin and Charms with my wind. Run faster, they did.

The bad guys were still behind me. I commanded the air around the leader to wrap around his body and wrists, and I sent him flying over the air like a plane taking off. I swear I saw plane lights on his arm and jet fire from his legs.

End of Dream.

Awesome dream where my powers actually do work and not become faulty halfway.

Was awakened again last night, but this time by a nightmare.

I took a random shot of trees in a distant at night on my phone and when I zoomed in on the photo, I saw faces amongst the trees. Scary, horrible faces.

A few days ago I dreamt I was stuck in a pod underwater. There was water in it, up to my neck but I was calm because I knew that was how the pod works.

And then I suddenly panicked and I couldn’t breathe and I was trashing aimlessly and really thought I was going to drown and die.

Last night I dreamt I was being observed in the classroom teaching Metaphors, and I wasn’t prepared.

The guy who was observing liked it. I have no idea who he was.

Last night I dreamt I brought a huge-ass coffee machine/drip to school so big that it leaks; I had to use it in the sink.

While I was using it, one of my colleagues (Mr. Suhirman) was just waiting for his turn at the basin.

But man was the coffee good.

Some dreams are better off not remembered.

Last night I dreamt that one of my cousin’s friends (nurul’s hafie) dropped her phone unknowingly into the gap between the lift and the floor. I managed to get it out but I couldn’t find her after. I tried calling everyone I know who knows her but nobody knows where she is. I used the phonebook in the phone to get her home number, called her house, and there she was.

(Extremely weird to be dreaming of someone I’m not even remotely close to.)

I also dreamt that I was teaching in a school (somewhat like a gifted school - the x-men gifted kind) and there was a typhoon that destroyed the school.

Just remembered: Miss T was teaching in that school, and she was wearing the tudung and looking beautiful.

Last night I dreamt that my sister’s ex-boyfriend came to our flat. She was excited, thinking it was her current boyfriend but when she saw him, she fled into her room.

And then her current boyfriend came, and boy did I get a shock of my life. He was old and scraggly, with greying hair tied messily into a pony-tail. He didn’t even know how to salaam properly.

And then I dreamt of playing and wrestling with a wild bengal cat.

Last night I dreamt that my cousin’s closest friends from secondary school came over to my place to cook because “their kitchen cannot be used”.

I slept a total of 14 hours today.

Last night I dreamt that my mom embarrassed me when I entered the lecture theater (filled with my Sunday school religious classmates) with Charms. She said in the microphone for all to hear, “Don’t think I don’t know that you’ve been holding hands with Charmaine.” That was highly embarrassing because 1) holding hands in Malay culture is taboo and 2) the lecture theater was filled with my Sunday school religious classmates and 3) it was not true. My mom just found out that I’ve been hanging out a lot with Charms and she wanted it to stop because she believes a boy and a girl can never be close friends.

And then I was discussing with my ex-classmate Hisyam about how our religious classes were. He said that his class was super boring because everybody was unresponsive and that his teacher kept picking on him. I gave him the impression that my class almost always have a healthy discussion.

I also dreamt that I was keeping mini penguins as pets. I was transferring them from their Tupperware habitat to a Ziploc bag habitat because their Tupperware habitat was filled with ants! So I sprayed some Baygon (which I just bought yesterday, fyi in real life) to the ants but I ended up killing the tiny penguins (they were really tiny). Then suddenly there was a rush of ants and they carried the penguins to their nest to feed.

I’ve been watching too much Walking Dead.

I just remembered last night I lived underwater and someone had a pet slug that swam like a butterfly.

It was the most weirdest but the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

And all the while, I was afraid it was going to force itself through my ear because it was a Yeerk.

Last night I dreamt about emotions.

I woke up a few times when I dreamt of anger. I was sweating in my sleep.

Last night I dreamt I was out with my mom and aunts and grandma, and all of them were bitching about me hanging out with my cousin. I threw a tantrum and left, and they were shocked, because they have never known me as someone who talks back.
