In my DREAMS

According to research, we only remember 90% of our dream. There maybe times when we just forget whether or not we dream something that night. But sometimes, we are so into our dreams that we wouldn’t realize its not real until we wake up. So vivid we can even describe and recall in detail what we were dreaming. But dreams can be so cryptic, what you see doesn’t always define what it means.

Dreams can be fun, adventurous, ridiculous, sad, tragic, silent, anxious, wet, horrifying, etc. – all of our emotions can be summoned while we dream. So mysterious there’s no perfect explanation about it. It’s like a movie but you just cannot choose a genre. But what I love about being in a dream is, it feels like I am warping in a different dimension – a metaphysical world! And as awkward as it may seem, my spirituality is longing for that place. It’s like my inner-self’s refuge when reality seems to be a nightmare. And speaking of nightmare, studies show that we dream mostly with negative emotions than positive ones. These nightmares are brought about by the most common emotion – anxiety! If your negative emotions outweighs the positive, then you are most likely to have nightmares. So always think positive thoughts and vibes in your waking life especially when you are about to sleep.

Well, here are some of the unforgettable emotions… in my DREAMS.

HAPPY
Nothing more I could remember than the feeling of having such FUN! I was really having the fun of my life in that dream. Like a kid, shouting and laughing into amusement because I was able to ride a balloon. Not a hot-air balloon, but it’s like a big balloon with a ledge. There’s no mechanical controls attached, but you can control it wherever and whenever you want it to fly only through your mind and emotion. My fear of height was suddenly gone! I was just in AWE and was shouting Woohoooooooooooo!!! There is this element of happiness and a sense of achievement that I felt when I get to fly with that thing. Wish that was true, people where cheering and were just so happy that we fly. Oh, did I say WE? Oh yes, there’s this person with me flying. I don’t know him and didn’t even go the trouble of knowing. I was simply just too happy!

ADVENTUROUS
Snap! I know I was previously dreaming seriously about something. But what seems to be a blurry dream suddenly became an adventure of a lifetime. So vivid I could still flash back in my mind what I did. I find myself climbing up inside a cave despite the sharp and ragged rocks I was holding on to. It looks treacherous but I didn’t feel a thing or pain that it didn’t matter to me at all. I don’t know why I am climbing up but I just feel so excited and couldn’t wait to see what’s up there. I always have this fear of high places but I just forgot about that when I began reaching the top. It’s ridiculous to have climb a supposedly cave but ending up on top of a high tower. The climb itself never exhausted me even a bit. The feeling was just an utter shock and scared at the same time by looking down and realized how tall it was. But later I feel secured and began to appreciate the beautiful view from atop. The ocean and its horizon, flock of birds flying, tall buildings and the whole city just creates the panorama. The picture was so serene and peaceful – what a calm feeling of joy! And just when I was enjoying the moment that I suddenly hear a familiar sound – cellphone alarm!

RIDICULOUS
I am caught in the middle of a city screaming and running for my life. Blame it to the horror series “The Walking Dead” (excited for the next episode). Everybody just turned themselves into zombies – neighbors, people around me were freaking scary. Bloody and all the gory stuff, name it, it’s there! I am totally freaked out and just don’t know what to do. I am stuck, disoriented, and grasping. Running at that time seems to be pointless since zombies are everywhere. The only good thing that saved me from that horror was when I just stopped and realized I am trapped – in my dream! (See lucid dreaming). I am convinced it wasn’t real and that I was just dreaming. And the only way of escape is to wake up. I just need to find a way to wake up so I could snap back to reality. Freak! The zombies are now after me. And I’m stuck in a small alley having nowhere else to go when the ridiculous part happens – I pretended to be one of them. You fool! Haha!

WET
Should I be continuing this?(Hahaha) Well, I wouldn’t deny it, I do have wet dreams. But most of it are not too lengthy. Just like a movie clip it could only run a minute or so. One of my most unforgettable dream was just walking, and the night was slightly cold. I just went off walking when I tripped myself and fell on a small creek – I woke up wetting my pants, blanket, bed sheets, and of course, embarrassed. (Just forget about the other wet dream state, it’s far more embarrassing. But I’m as guilty as charged! hehehe)

TERRIFYING
My body was paralyzed I couldn’t even budge. Feels like in a state of coma, I was just lying in bed and the room was dark. I can see my siblings lying on the same bed and were just peacefully sleeping. As I struggle to breathe, I see something’s coming after me – the Angel of Death (looks like a Dementor of the Harry Potter movie)! Exhausted, I was trying to shout for help but I just couldn’t make a single sound. I reckoned every second he was nearing me, no matter what I tried to do, I just couldn’t do anything that I decided to just give it up when it suddenly snaps through me and vanished. It was after then that I was able to wake up in the middle of the night feeling tired and very exhausted. My body was still in shock as if it was happening for real. I have never been terrified in my dream like that, but still thankful and grateful to be alive. I’ve had many nightmares but that one was far worst. In our local term it is called ‘Urom’(bad dream). Old folklore tells when somebody dies when asleep, it is believed to have been killed with ‘Urom’. The word just creeps me out!
