falling

this. except i was falling because I jumped out of an earth satellite that looked like sputnik I, except maybe it was 10x larger. it took a long time for me to reach the ground, but when i did, i woke up. at least i didn’t burn on re-entry or feel the splat. wasn’t even wearing a suit. not that a suit would have protected me from burning or getting smashed into pieces but you know.

Me: Okay I don't hate you anymore

the ashen world

I was 16 years old. I found myself in a white world. It wasn’t snow. Just a flat, white grassland that seemed to stretch forever. There was white grass that swayed with the wind. There was wind? White trees with white leaves that strangely stood still. Are they really leaves? Clouds with a darker shade of white that contrasted against the bright white of the sky. Why did they bother making clouds? Who are “they?” There’s a “they?” I’m not alone?

I was so confused. I remember feeling scared. 

All of a sudden I heard hissing. I turned to look behind me and I saw a giant three-headed snake with white and purple stripes. So there’s purple now? I started running away in fear. Why does it have three heads? It chased me. 

I thought I was going to die. White spikes of earth started bursting out of the ground. Is the snake doing this? It was blocking my path, and keeping me from running away in a straight line. What is happening?

I am going to die. White pieces of the sky started falling. Everything was breaking apart. The ground started shaking. I really don’t like earthquakes. Fissures on the earth started appearing. I jumped across them. I could jump that far? There were a few close calls, but I managed to make it to an area that looked safe. I could run that fast? I sighed in relief, stretched my arms and looked up as I tried to catch my breath and-

*crash*

A huge piece of the white sky fell on me. Stupid sky.

I thought I was dead, but I wasn’t. At this point I kind of just wished I’d died. I laid there, feeling the weight of the sky on my body. But for some reason I could move my arms, so I waved them - and the piece of the sky that was on top of me turned to ash as I touched it. Am I some sort of superhero now? I waved my arms enough so I could clear the debris around me so I could see what was going on. I couldn’t hear the hissing anymore. But I couldn’t move my lower body. I’m scared. My legs were still trapped under the parts of the sky piece I couldn’t reach. I give up. So I just looked up and I saw the blue sky that was exposed by the broken white sky, hiding behind the ashen world. Did someone trap me in here all this time? I stared into it for a while. I thought of screaming for help, but I knew there was no one in this world but me. And the snake, I guess.

Then I heard the hissing again. Something bit my heel. I felt like I was suffocating. Time to go! It felt like my chest was going to explode as I tried to gasp for air.

Then I woke up. From the shock maybe.

My legs felt horribly tingly.

repent-

I fell asleep while listening to a sermon.

Paul Washer: Repent, you NOOB!

Then I woke up, laughing. The sermon wasn't even halfway done. I wasn't even listening to Paul Washer.

a good bottle of champagne... in your area?

Before I get started, let me provide some background to this, so you see just how ridiculous this whole dream was. I don’t normally listen to BLACKPINK, or K-pop in general. I don’t hate them - but I wouldn’t go out of my way to search up their songs just to listen to them either. The only emotion (if you could call it an emotion) towards them, really, is indifference. They’re pretty. They have good music. Just too “bright” for my taste.

Anyway- I haven’t thought of this girl group in ages. I haven’t listened to any of their songs during the past year at all. I haven’t spoken to anyone about them recently either. That’s why I found their major involvement in this particular dream so, so strange (also, this is the first time I’ve ever dreamt of a girl group). 

They were literally everywhere.

Also - just take note of this - I didn’t need a bag. I had three; one for casual occasions, one for long-distance travels, and one for work/placements. None of them were worn out. I had no real need to buy a new one.

So, with all that in mind - let’s get started.

This one’s a third-person type of dream. It’s like one of those out-of-body experiences, where I could see myself independently acting outside of whatever form of existence I was in while I was in the depths of my subconscious. I could control myself, as if I had a controller to move myself. I felt everything that the “me” I was seeing touched. I could feel my (his? I don’t really know what and how to consider myself in this) footsteps. That’s how I normally dream anyway. 

I was in a mall. I saw myself looking at a bunch of bags, like those rucksack types. I felt like I really needed one. Like I had this desperate feeling of a need to buy one. For what reason, only God knows.

Then out of nowhere, BLACKPINK just starts walking out of the fitting room (which was right behind me). People then started chanting “BLACKPINK in your area!” So I turned my head a bit to check what was happening, and I saw the girls approach me, while waving hi. I didn’t understand why they were waving hi to me. I didn’t look particularly excited to see them. But out of respect I turned and walked towards them to wave hi back and I guess to say hello? But people kept screaming (understandably I guess) and started mobbing them. I remember looking really annoyed, so I just turned away, left them to their fans and started walking back to the bags section. But surprisingly, as I was just about to reach it, I all of a sudden found myself in a busy market in the PH.

I was familiar with this place. We call it “Divisoria,” and it’s a place where you can pretty much buy anything for extremely cheap. Like really, everything - except they’ll be fake copies of branded items. Like the brand Nike would be “Mike,” or maybe you’d see a Puma cap, except it’s “Pama,” the logo embroidered with cheap thread. Some of them would be genuine, discounted products, but around 8/10 of the items you’ll see are fake. Again, I was there, walking around, checking the stalls, looking for a bag. I still have no idea why. It was like I was on some flipping adventure RPG quest to find the perfect bag.

So after around 5 minutes of looking around there was all of a sudden this huge mob of people I had to push against to make my way through the stalls. I remember thinking “Ah, it’s probably 5 o’clock now. Home time. Of course.” After much pushing I found myself on the edge of the street, and I wanted to cross the road to get to the other side, because as I was pushing through the people, I somehow caught a glimpse of a stall there with a backpack that I wanted to get. But also on the other side was a huge line of people, and on the other side of a metal barrier, separating them from the mob, was BLACKPINK. I don’t understand what they were doing in Divisoria. I didn’t even meet them or got anywhere close to them like what happened in the mall. I remember just wanting to get the bag. So I crossed the road, and when I did, I wasn’t in Divisoria anymore.

I was in another mall. This was a different mall from the first one. We’ll call it “Pacific,” simply because that’s how I used to refer to this mall back when I lived in the PH. So I was walking around Pacific, and for some reason I found shelves after shelves of backpacks. Like I found a treasure trove; except it’s all bags. I remember going through each shelf, trying to find a backpack that I’d like. After browsing through countless shelves I eventually found one that I liked. It was a black and green Fjallraven bag. But I looked at the price tag and I remember thinking “Nah. Too expensive. I’ll have a look around for a cheaper one.” So I started walking to the other side of the shelf to see if there was a cheaper version of it. And lo and behold; as I turned the corner, I saw BLACKPINK again. 

So now I’m like, “Seriously, what the heck is BLACKPINK doing in Pacific?” And Lisa (she’s the only one I’m actually familiar with, because cats), raised her hand to give me a hi-five. So I gave her one, and voila - now I’m in a movie theatre.

I don’t remember what I was watching. All I knew was that I was seeing a movie with a friend.. I was just sat there, laughing for some unknown reason. Maybe something funny happened in the movie we were watching. Then all of a sudden someone taps my shoulder from behind. I look to see who it was and I of course, I saw Lisa and the rest of the girl group. Lisa, with a big smile, a wad of cash on one hand, and one of her cats on the other, talked to me, saying, “Here you go, now go buy the bag you wanted.” She handed me the money. Probably around £1000. Kinda wishing she gave me her cat too.

I immediately proceeded to jump out of my seat, held her hands, sobbing, while saying, “Thank you so much - I really needed a bag.” I ran out of there afterwards, pushing through the movie theatre doors, feeling grateful and happy. 

Oh yeah. I guess left my friend there. If you’re reading this, sorry! Not that you’d know who you are anyway. It’s just a dream. Don’t sweat it too much. We’re still friends anyway.

Anyway - what happens afterwards was the real “WTH” moment.

As I pushed through the theatre doors I found myself inside M&S. I went and bought myself their most expensive bottle of champagne. Then I decided to run all the way home. I had more money. I could have taken an uber. I could have ridden a bus. But no, I ran. While chugging that bottle of champagne, by the way.

Then I woke up. I didn’t even get home. I just woke up. I probably tripped or something. Or maybe I passed out from drinking.

But yeah... I didn’t even buy a bag.

Also, I ran home with Donald Duck.

Don’t ask me why.
