WHAT DREAMS BECOME..

I stumbled into new realizations about dreaming. I still remember clearly all of the dreams I dreamt while I was asleep.

1. Shifting of dreams from one to another is triggered by an event or by a person. In my case, a friend of my brother who’s supposedly still in rehab. Seeing him in my dream, I asked him, “dude, aren’t you supposed to be in rehab? When did you get out?” and he replied, “just now, come, ill show you the rehab I went to..” and after that, he started running, but at a pace I couldn’t keep up with. I could notice that the landscape was morphing from a festive atmosphere(I saw the guy while I was buying ice for beer in one of the huts in the so called “fiesta”) into a big field almost like a savannah. Then in the distance I could make out other people I’m familiar with playing a game which resembled a cross between soccer and dodgeball. Weird, hell yes. Then he motioned me to enter this gate with him and the whole field turned into like a cross between the area of my high school gym and field, with the gym looking like a mansion from the inside. There another person I know asked me for help in playing the soccer/dodgeball game. I then was surprised to see I was wearing soccer shoes and began kicking the ball into people.. we won, I think. Then everything changed when I noticed a person I knew playing asked me to follow her home, coz it was time to go. I was surprised that she was a sister of mine, we had a large family and we lived in a big house I couldn’t even completely perceive. I tried looking at pictures, but they were fuzzy and couldn’t make out all of their faces. It was funny coz the hired help in the house kept telling me that I had to do this and that(I cant remember anymore what they were telling me to do, but that it was important..) and I kept asking them stuff like, “where’s my room”, “where’s mom and dad” and other stuff.. and they were almost surprised as I was that I couldn’t remember which one was my room, bed, my stuff etc… then I stumbled into another realization..

2. An uncle of mine dressed like a butler in full tuxedo attire gave me a pager and said that, “it was the only thing they got to recover from my dad’s journey, and that there was an important message that they just received”. Curious as I was, I got the pager and tried reading the message. I couldn’t read it!! But in my mind, I actually knew what was in the message.. “something about my dad being alive and stranded somewhere..” I tried to look at the pager again, but it disappeared from my hand!! Wild stuff man! Then when I was almost set to go and “find my dad”( which took me a long time in dream world.. I didn’t know which was my closet and I remember having a hard time looking for a “passport” or something I cant really remember also now..) I heard a honk from outside the house and was surprised to see that from, supposedly, the balcony window, Rom, a friend of mine, was outside in a Honda CRV. He shouted that “we had to go.. NOW” emphasis on the now part. Then while inside the car, the surroundings started shifting again and odd, because we were back in the gym/field of my high school. I remember shouting “the fuck?!” coz I was already wearing an old high school uniform.. then I realized another thing.

3. Once we parked the car(weird, coz we parked it right inside the gym and I told him to actually park it there..) we got down and there was like this school assembly jampacked with all the high school students. I tried greeting people I knew, but they all gave me a puzzled look like they didn’t know me. Then Rom asked me if I knew the people I was saying hi and what’s up to. I told him, “yeah, they’re my former batchmates, the batch I was from before I repeated and went to their batch. He then told me that I never repeated and that I was originally from their batch!! Right there and then, I was puzzled shitless! I looked at my uniform again, I had my sophomore patch. “Ok”, I thought, “I’m back in second year high school.” I remember that the students in the assembly was just sitting there, quiet and motionless.. like they were all waiting for something. Then I turned to my friends, Prim and Rom, and told them that “let’s leave and get out of here”. Prim said something about “it was a bad idea and were gonna be dead meat if we get caught..” I told him, “I’ll take care of it, leave it to me”. We were leaving when an old principal of ours “appeared” and tried to stop us. Both my friends stoped in their tracks, as if they were being controlled, but I just kept walking on until I walked past the principal. I then saw both my friends running towards me now saying “great! Were almost there!” “where’s there?” I asked.. then one of them told me that it wasn’t time yet.. weird huh!? Then I tried thinking of soccer once more, and sure enough the field was then filled with people playing soccer. I looked around and saw me and Primo both in soccer gear and running towards the ppl, ready to play. With Rom leaving saying, “I’ll see you again soon..” I was almost on the verge of realizing that I was in a dream, when all of a sudden, I woke up for no reason at all.. damn! But I now know that you CAN control your dream. It’s just really hard to comprehend that were in a dream but you could see things that you want to happen, almost happen instantly in a thought! Oh.. all this actually happened when i slept again from around 12 noon til almost 2 pm, after getting 4 hours of sleep, from 6 am to 10 am.

Phew! I hope I make the same progress the next time I sleep and dream. I’m really interested in interpreting and controlling my dreams now that I’m researching about it in the net as I type. Who knows, maybe in the next dream I’ll see you guys again and it’ll be more “eye opening”. Later! I’m out!
