Dreams

The events were messy, disjointed and cacophonic. Somewhere in there, there was my school, cca and family but not all together at once. At a particular time, i was travelling in a shopping centre that goes downwards. The stairs were large and wide, somewhat spacious. It went down and landed on a platform before going down again to land on another platform which it shared with another flight of stairs that headed up. Along the stairs were shops and at each platform, there were some sort of open shops like the temporary carts that dotted the premises of JurongPoint. Perhaps sister was with me as we went down the stairs. She had started the journey into the nightair with me and we went into the enclosed brightly-lit shopping centre from the outside world. Strange, how empty i remember the stairs to be when the interior seemed vibrant, lively and full of lights, like any other normal shopping centre.

Mother was there to inform me that i could not eat part of the open restaurant's menu due to some special reason that i forgot. There were even the darkening of lights to show the dishes that were off-limits to me. At then, sister seemed to have disappeared to which, i have no notice of.

At another time, i was at school, in a toilet which was somehow situated near the gate. There was an old guard cum cleaner who insisted to do his cleaning job in the vinicity and would not wait for me to be done and gone before doing his job, which was what he should do. There is also aomething about taxi and services but i am not certain. Details and reasoning of that scene were entirely gone from my head. There was also another toilet incident which occurred in similar premises. I only remembered seeing this cute mynah outside the toilet from the inside. The structure of the toilet was such that there were pink walls or was it red bricks? There are slender windows with red bricks as frames that allowed me to interact with the outer day world.

Also in school, there was co in a classroom with lined blue tables and chairs, somewhat atypical of sectionals but the events which occurred in this particular scene have gone "poof!" in my mind.

Lastly, with mother behind me encouraging me, i started on my physics homework and opened my eyes to an uncomfortably bright light and mother's looming figure. She told me to stay awake in an unfriendly tone and informed me that she had been trying to wake me since 9.oo pm. Currently, it was fifteen minutes to twelve. I was told that i had woken up at 9.39 pm but had went back to slumber and since she had been frantically trying to awken me, she was not amused. In my defence, i argued that i had only woken up once in this night and it was now. She was rather unemphatatic since she had been hard at work trying to rouse me from my bed all night, indicating that i have woken up before my current awakening. I argued somemore about how i was dreaming and could not have been awake from before. Also, it was rather disorienting to wake up to her shouting for me to do my homework when a few seconds ago, i was already starting on it with her behind me and in an amiable mood.

On dreams, last night or the one hour i managed to gleen sleep from after sleeping the night away and waking up at 12.30 pm and sleeping again at about 5 am, i dreamt. There was more on school. I was in a crowded classroom where the the rows of tables were close and the chairs are filled. I needed to get out of my row and had to struggle through the back of chairs and the tables of another row. Then i was to play a game of tug the paper clothing with Htenne and i was going "What on Mars is the rationale for this game?"
