Patience is my strength.

Stop focusing on dumb sh*t. Don’t be afraid to break things. Don’t be romantic. Don’t take the time to breathe. Don’t aim for perfect. And whatever you do, keep moving. Reread this a few times

Strange Dreams

November 27, 2014  (3 years ago)

So we had a power outage today and I decided to take a siesta, an afternoon nap. Then this happened…

I was by the road. The only thing on my mind was that I was trying to run away from someone. There was a man with me. As far as I could remember he was in a clown suit. (I hate clowns with a passion).  We hitched hiked with a man with three kids. Somehow I ended up driving. The destination was set but we had to take a detour in the airport. When we got there I started walking around aimlessly when the people who were after me finally caught up with me, a woman in a red hood and an old man. That was our first encounter.

All I could do was run away from them. And I ran as fast as I could, looking for ways to lose them. The people I was with earlier were nowhere to be found. I was worried about the man with three kids because in a way, I got them involved in my mess. When I finally lost the people who were after me, I searched for the man with three kids. I didn’t find them but I found out from another person that someone went chasing them as well.  I felt a pang of guilt for involving them. They were innocent. Somehow the car that he was driving ended up in a swimming pool. I was relieved when I found him and his kids were alright. Then the man in a clown suit suddenly showed up telling me of a place where I could hide.

I ran through a corn fields to get there. The place was barren, no trees or plants to give shade. It felt so hot, like I was burning.  All the houses were strangely built, like the whole place is just one big commune area. It felt as though I’m walking through a labyrinth. Not a soul was in sight though. I got curious and went exploring. It was nothing that I’ve ever seen before. It dawned to me that I must be in the spirit world.

In the center of this town is a small hole enough fit one person. Curiosity got the better of me so I went inside. It wasn’t just a hole, it was a cave underneath the whole town. The cave was filled with red gems; I assumed that they were rubies. The cave was cool and it gave me relief from the heat outside. I wondered aimlessly feeling safe inside it. Then I reached the other end. I took a peek outside and I saw the woman in a red hood.

All the sense of safety I was feeling turned to fear. I tried looking for ways to avoid getting detected. Since I have explored most of the area, I thought to myself that I’m at an advantage here. I could slip away easy without her finding me. I was getting good at it. My confidence started to boost up. I’ve got the upper hand. So I went through the labyrinth without getting detected. I could see her but she could not see me.  I was able to get out of the labyrinth unscathed.  I got out of the place with a smile. I can go home now. And finally I was home surrounded by people I cared about the most.

I went inside and enjoyed a cup of tea. I looked out the window and the woman in red was there, standing in front of our house. I was thinking “how the hell did she find me?” She lifted her hand and my house started floating and spinning around. I could do nothing, she killed everyone in the house and all I could do was to be still. Then she was in front of me, pointed her finger at me and my heart stopped. I slowly floated going downwards facing her. She removed her hood and for the first time I saw her face. She was me…

The woman in a red hood was me. It was me chasing after me. It was me putting innocent people in danger. It was me I was trying to hide from. It was me who killed my loved ones. And then everything went black.

Next thing I know I was in the ocean swimming. I am a fish. I was swimming with other fishes as well. Leading us was the most beautiful fish I’ve ever seen. Her scales were white and gold.  I wasn’t swimming on my own. It seems that the lead fish was bringing us somewhere. When I looked back, I saw the old man who was after me earlier. This time he was smiling. He was swimming behind us. As we swam further, he turned into a young boy. Then he just stopped swimming and started waving his hand. It seemed that he was saying goodbye. Then I looked ahead and woke up from my dream.

I felt confused. My heart was racing. I felt so uneasy. Its been awhile since I had dreams. I just had to write it down before it fades.
