The Dreams that still mystifies me....

The dream that which I am about to relate does not correspond to the goals, aspirations or ambitions that people have. It is but simply dreams that appear to us when we fall asleep. Most of us have dreams when we sleep. Some can only recall the last dream that they had before waking up. Though for some strange causes, some might say that they have not had any dreams for years. Some are even serious enough to keep a dream journal by their bedside to record any dreams the instant they get up from sleep. And finally, some at this point might want to say that they can dream with eyes wide open, but sorry, that's called "daydreaming";)

Some people form the habit of keeping a dream diary by their bedside to record any dreams that they've had the instant they wake up. The reason for doing this is that they believe dreams convey a meaning. They intend to monitor and decipher the hidden meanings behind the dreams of which they believe that the higher consciousness are trying to reveal. Scientists claim that when we sleep, our eyes moves in random directions which they call the rapid eye movement(REM sleep). It is claimed that during these times are which dreams begin to appear.

What triggered me into writing about my unusual dreams are that these dreams seems to linger vividly in my memories till this present day though I've had it more than a month ago. I would like to share it with the hope that maybe someone may have an inkling to what these symbols mean.

My Dream # 1
I was in an island, (Penang Island I suppose). As I was standing from the island, watching the mainland, suddenly a gush of heat swept through the land which came from the hill. What was happening beyond the hill was not sufficiently visible from the height I was standing. I saw the trees, houses and everything on the mainland go in ashes in just seconds. It wasn't a volcanic lava. Just a mysterious heat that was crawling through the face of earth at high speed. Strangely, I did not see any fire at all.

As the sea separated the mainland from the island where i was watching, I was not affected. The "heat wave" could not pass through the sea!

My Dream # 2
This time around, I was in a village when suddenly "the heat" was again travelling down from the Mount Jerai. It wasn't a volcanic lava. Everything including the trees, the houses and the people went into ashes in a matter of 10 - 15 seconds. Again, the earth was burning without any flames, just like my first dream.

As I was confronted with death, I tried to escape it by climbing on an antique metal box which was 3 feet high to avoid my foot from coming in contact with earth. Just as I had climbed, "the heat", by this time had already reached where I was and turned everyone into ashes within seconds including my dad just infront of me.

Later, in that same dream, I realised that there were other survivors too, just like me.

My 3rd Dream
In this final dream, I was travelling in a Van with about 10 to 14 passengers. All of them unknown to me. They were mixed races & gender but mostly women. As the Van strided along slowly through the road at night, some people were trying to tell us that there is something very strange about the sky. We saw nothing and proceeded. As we were moving along, I saw a strange phenomenon beginning to take shape. From the dark sky at night, suddenly, there was a patch of Blue light forming. This light was spreading and getting bigger as it was transforming the dark night into a shady light. (No. There weren't any UFO's coming from the light. There's no need to call in David Duchovny & Muldoon from the "X-Files" ;)

This light grew to transform into twin beaming blue light cutting the sky from one end to another end. By this time, I found many people at the roadside witnessing this event with awe.

Next comes the final part. At this point, the van was moving along a cliff with a view of a sea or lake at the bottom. This is when I saw a huge planet, across the sea, just like Sun but about 200 times the size that is visible to us daily. It wasn't the Sun because I could see both the Sun & Moon. This is a 3rd planet with the attributes of the Sun. It is in very close perimeters with earth which explains the size of it. It was glowing in light golden colour and was ready to burn the earth.

I saw fumes coming out from the lake/sea, the result of heat generated by the 3rd planet. As I turned upwards to see the hill by the road we were moving, I saw fumes coming out from the earth, too. And we were in the middle. And this time around, there was no way out. The heat was burning up from two sides and moving in closely towards us. All of us in the van looked at each other with the knowing look, as though telling it as "this is it....this is as far as life gets us". In less than a minute, all of us are going to perish, literally ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

And with that, ends my dream.......

As I said, I can still recall this dream although I don't keep a dream diary. I thought of drawing sketches of my dreams but I withdrew the thought immediately when I realised my drawing ability is of kindergarten standard.

Perhaps, some of you may be able to interpret what this dream symbolizes. I don't subscribe to being a fan of any Doomsday group. This is because for Centuries along, people have repeatedly been warning each other of the impending end of the day which never came. But, to me, whether it comes or not, "Tomorrow Never Dies" though it is the people who die anyway. The earth remains where it is. No matter what, life has to go on. We must make the best use of time and be able to appreciate and cherish whatever we have. Our time here on Earth is also limited. Our life clock is ticking every second and our days here are decreasing by the seconds. Whether we realise it or not, we are left with lesser time on earth with the passing of each second. The question is are we merely existing here on earth or are we making our existence here a meaningful one to us and others? That is what matters. Have a Great Life!
