hmm i had a nightmarish sleep last night...i dreamed of things which shd not happen in real life. anyway, it concerned 2 of my frens, so i dun think i wan this to happen to them anyway. and no, its not as bad as death...cos last few yrs, i had dreamed of one of my teammates dying, just before our national finals started. that nightmare freaked me out totally, cos losing ur teammate just before a major final is a total catastrophe. sigh...anyway, i shall keep their identities confidential so as not to freak everybody out. i shall refer to these 2 frens in my nightmare as X and Y. due to the fact that i woke up abt 2 hrs ago, the nightmare may haf been distorted in my mind...so forgive any instance of incoherence...
I was out with X and Y. we were eating or sth, dunno where lar. then suddenly, i found ourselves to be at macpherson, this area called circuit road. i dunno why we were there, but we were just there. we were walking outside this building which looked like a community centre. got brick walls surrounding the building. btw, the brick walls were covered by those creeping plants, i think money plant or sth like dat. omg "money plant"...that has everything to do with the subject matter of the day. this is freaking me out...
k anyway, so as we were walking, my frens, X and Y, were opening their wallets. dunno for what reason. dreams dun usually give the whole picture. so as they were putting back their wallets into their pockets, 2 old ladies walked past us. after overtaking us, they suddenly turned back and asked whether we had dropped our money. we checked our wallets again...my money was intact...but my 2 frens' wallets were short of sum notes. i was puzzled cos how could it be that X and Y would drop their notes at the same time? and how could it be that I, who didnt check my wallet the first time around, didnt notice it if anything was to drop to the ground? and since when did the 2 old ladies appear, cos we didnt even hear footsteps behind us or anything like dat?
[this later part of the story may be too ridiculous for some, so if u want to read on, go ahead...if not, can go to sum other blog now]
so, as we found out that most of my frens' money was gone, we turned back to look around if the notes were lying around the area. and we really did find sum notes lying on the ground, which puzzled me once more...how can those notes not fly away? i mean its not as if there was any wind at all...ok so we picked up the money on the floor and X and Y put back the money [altho not all was recovered] into their wallets respectively. However, when we looked up, we saw several $10 notes stuck among the money plant on the brick wall. i stared at the notes in disbelief, cos its so ridiculous that the notes could have flown up there from the ground and rest themselves amongst the leaves of the money plant. X and Y, thinking that the money must be theirs, took the notes out from among the leaves. [why didnt i discourage them from taking those notes man?]
After the "money-recovery" incident, we suddenly found ourselves in chinatown. dun ask me why, cos i really dunno. just then, the 2 old ladies appeared again and gave us the evil grin. that got me thinking...maybe those notes attached to brick wall werent my frens'...maybe they were there just to tempt us....sigh...anyway what happened after that was we were chased by this middle-aged chinese man who looked like those who practise witchcraft. we ran in all directions and i was separated from X and Y. i was scared out of my wits cos this man ran pretty fast. i had to double my running speed to get away...after much running, i was unlucky to haf been blocked by him. he probably ran in another direction at those back alleys of chinatown and caught me in the end. so there he was, waiting in front, with X under his clutches. he looked really evil and was spouting some nonsense that i didnt understand. to counter that, i said "Allah[God]" repetitively...i cant recall how many times i said that, but this evil man was quite stubborn cos he still didnt wanna hand over my fren. then suddenly, after much more repetition of "Allah", he finally let go of my fren and screeched in pain...steam was coming out from his nose and ears...he was practically melting in front of us. k anyway, after that the 2 old ladies appeared again...they said that the incident should teach not to take things that are not ours. omg...i was so freaked out by then...and it's quite sad that evrything ended there...Y was permanently separated from us in the nightmare, cos when it ended, she was still nowhere to be found.
ok, I dunno how this nightmare came abt. how did the evil man come abt? and wat were we doing in chinatown? above all, what were we doing in macpherson, when none of us stay around there or has anything to do with that area? maybe the only thing that should be of significance in this story is the fact that Man should not be greedy..and that Man should be able to resist tempations like that in the nightmare. i dunno....
