Sleep & Dreams


I've not been able to sleep well of late.

Yesterday I had dreams. I might have had more than two, but it's two that I remember. My memory is vague and details are hazy, but the gist of those two dreams are clear.

In one of the dream, a friend, who is due to get married end of this year, asked me to decorate a place where we were. I am not sure what that place is but the place was most likely in somewhere in Krung Thep, as the impression I got was there was flood around. Not sure why we needed to decorate the place, but we needed to and were in the midst of looking for ideas on how to carry out our task.

Another point that strongly suggested the setting was in Krung Thep was tuition. Not too sure why was tuition there, but seemed like 3 boys, who were rich enough, came over to have tuition there with us. And they were from our hometown. Both of us girls are from Melaka, by the way! They would fly all the way from Malaysia to Krung Thep, attend the classes then fly back! Now, that's a really wild dream! This point I remembered quite clearly as we were deliberating on how they could make it on time to class and back; or was this arrangement absolutely necessary and tiring as well in a tuk tuk or was it a taxi? Wild, wild!

The second dream, order not clear, was about me and my mother. Again, right now, I'm not too sure of the setting of the place, but I have a heavy feeling that it was in my maternal grandmother's place. It is not clear now why were we there in the first place, but I remembered having THAT talk with her, in the midst of another argument! And she refused to listen and accept what I said. It was quite a scene, with her crying and accusing me of being ungrateful or such. That all of us were ungrateful, selfish and not filial, somewhere along those lines. A little like the scene of a drama I saw last Sunday, where the daughter was accused of finding her mom a burden, by her own mother!

Again, I cannot recall which dream came first, but I felt exhausted this morning. Are they telling me something? If so, what are they trying to tell me?
