+ The One With The Excuses +
I've neglected to update this blog. One reason is that I haven't had time (being swamped with work) and the other reason is that I haven't really had crazy dreams to post about. Okay, maybe there are a few but I couldn't find the time. And it's not only because of work. I've renewed my World of Warcraft account since I finally convinced the boyfriend to play the game with me. So mostly, I've been playing.
But I want to keep posting about my dreams. Hopefully, I will have a strange dream in the next few days that I can blog about. Until then...

+ The One with the Tattoo on the Eye +
I didn't write about this dream right away so now that I'm trying to remember, the details are kinda fuzzy. Anyway, in my dream I was having lunch with my boyfriend's sisters. We were dining al fresco, something like the M Cafe in Ayala. I don't remember what the conversation was about or why we were even there in the first place but apparently, it was an all girl lunch. So all 3 sisters, their mom & I were there. The topic went to tattoos and Mago proudly shows off her new tat. She just got married and as a commemoration of sorts, she got an image of chains tattooed on her chest, exactly where her heart is found. It was strange of course, considering she just got married and it seemed like she was already saying she felt like she was all chained up. When asked about this, Mago explains that it's actually the opposite. That she's really happy to be married to her man and that the chain represents the unbreakable bond between their hearts. Or something like that.
Anyway, we all just nod and give weak smiles. I felt like sharing in the conversation and showed them my Ankh tattoo (which I really have in real life).
The conversation continues and we start discussing Mago's plans to get into the restaurant business. She wanted it in RCBC in Makati and we were currently debating the merits of having the most expensive China in her store. Actually, it wasn't really a restaurant but more of a catering service, but without the food. So they provide manpower - trained waiters, butlers, wine guy holders and the best chefs.
Anyway, Mago confesses that she already made preparations for the business and shows us the tattoo she got on her eyelid. It's supposed to bring good luck. The last thing I remember is how I felt a little bad that she got the tattoo on her eyelid, since she has really nice skin and the tat was an awfully big distraction.

+ The One with the Violent Norebang +
I dreamt that I went to this Norebang joint (that's Korean karaoke room for the uninitiated). I don't remember though if I was with anybody else. It felt like a decent place, it kind of reminded me of IO and Red Box.
I was sitting at the lobby when a group of Koreans enter. I am then told by the receptionist that the next vacant room will be given to me. This angers the Koreans who are deathly intent on singing their little hearts out.
So they start making a scene, like crazy monkeys jumping on the couch. I run out to try and save my hide and find myself up the rooftop. And just like some freak occurrence, it starts raining really hard.
I soon realize that I was in a prime spot as I see a massive wall of water approaching. In a few minutes, the tsunami washes out the whole area, including the angry Koreans.

+ The One with the Lunch Gun Fight +
Once again, my dream is set in my high school. We were walking by the chapel ramp and see a group pf people in fatigues in the middle of the grounds. I couldn't really tell if they were students, I didn't even get a feeling whether they were supposed to be there or not.
Anyway, they start shooting at us. I was with some other people, I couldn't really tell who they were but it felt like they were students as well and more importantly, that they were on my side.
So the shoot out begins and because the people in fatigues caught us off guard, they manage to disarm us. Bleeding and crawling towards my gun (at the same time ducking for cover), another student runs to our rescue. I ask her to start shooting at the "enemies" to distract them so that I can get my gun. She starts shooting at them dn distracts them, I get my gun and start successfully kill everyone.
After the shootout (I think I saw us in our blood-stained uniforms), a bunch of other students flock to the middle and start dragging the dead bodies to the side. The atmosphere was very surreal, it was just like they were being asked to put decorations in the school gym- casual, very routine and very non-chalant about the whole thing.
Apparently, the shoot-out was part of the Citizen's Army Training that seniors have to go through and because I killed everyone, I was in the running to take top honors.

+ The one with the CCP theater in New Manila +
I dreamt that I was dressing up and getting ready to leave the house. My boyfriend Miguel and his mom were on their way to pick me up so that we could go to CCP to watch a play.
When we get in the car, I remember I was in a bad mood and Miguel was talking to me about something random. I was being really moody about and I think gave Migs the evil eye when he tried to pacify me by saying something sweet in baby talk.
Apparently, the mom saw me get infuriated with the gesture and got mad at me. So, there I was sitting in the car, being scolded by my boyfriend's mom. She was going on about how there are scientific studies about baby talk and that people who don't baby talk or at least appreciate baby talk are people who are hardened and
emotionally unbalanced since these people are supposed to have so many unresolved issues.
I try to reason out and say that my mom refused to baby talk to us as kids, believing that at some point, we ought to be treated as adults and that all that gibberish talk wouldn't really help in the development.
Anyway, she still kept scolding me and insisting that I had issues until we reached CCP, which turned out to be a 5 minute ride from my house since CCP was in Hemady now, near New Manila.
As we were making our way inside the theater, she still kept probing me about my issues until I finally cried and told her my family problems. I ended up telling her about (real life) family problems and just as she was starting to understand me and feel this special bond with me, the house lights dim and the show starts. Last thing I remember was that it wasn't really a play, but more like a fashion show of "jungle" clothing.

+ The one with the ship +
I was travelling by ship to some place. I remember making a phone call to my boyfriend sometime in the evening. I was talking to him and complaining about how the trip was just taking too long.
I pass the phone to his 2 nephews who were on the same trip as I. The little boys were also complaining about how there was nothing else to do but to talk to people on the ship, eat and sleep.
Apparently, in a effort to save money, we took the ship to get to some province (like Cagayan de Oro) and it would take us about 3 months to get there from Manila.

+ The one with the roof deck bathtub +
I dreamt that Jessie, Miguel's brother, went to visit our house. Since he was already there, we invited him to dinner. He started criticizing our family (out loud), how we eat corned beef for dinner and how my dad was such a gross eater (since he eats rice with mayo, which he really does in real life). So my dad was a little pissed but thought he'd try to impress Jessie just the same. So he attempts to impress Jessie's socks off by bragging that he can buy Coca-Cola from my yaya, since she has a tiny store inside her room. But since we were short on Coke, my yaya decides to mix the soda with C2 Iced Tea. And then I don't know how it happened, but a slab of meat falls on my face.
And then all of a sudden, I'm in an abandoned building with some other person. It reminds me of the control room in Lost, the TV series. There were a million switches that I had to work on, otherwise the zombies will eat us. They were in the same room already.
Then the scene switches and I'm going up the stairs to visit Miguel but find an old couple instead. So I go all the way to the rooftop and find their relative Chit (of Figaro) inside a bathtub, ON THE ROOF DECK. While she was in the bathtub, she was telling me about the death of Rene, the man who lives inside the mirror and about his new replacement. I don't remember though if she was wearing any clothes while in the bathtub cos I remember there was no water.
She tells me that I can still catch up with Migs if I go to the lobby. Apparently, she had a feeling I would be here looking for Miguel so she told him to run around in circles downstairs so that I could catch up with him.
I wake up just before the elevator opens.
