A Dream.

Have you ever felt like you are actually having a dream but somehow your mind is conscious? You know that you’re dreaming, just that you refuse to wake up so that you can continue to stay in dreamland. And usually when this happens, the dream is very surreal.

Recently, I had one of these semi-dreamland, semi-real life dreams again. I dreamt that I was walking alone on a narrow plank placed over a small stream, trying to cross over to the other side. Parallel to the piece of old plank were long rusty metal rods supporting it. The water in the stream was flowing from right to left rapidly. And when I was about to cross it, my mind was thinking about why my boyfriend hadn’t given me his usual Sunday morning call. It should be time. And despite knowing that I would be late if I don’t wake up any minute from then, I proceeded on my first step onto the plank.

After taking several slow and cautious steps on the plank, someone warned, “Be careful! They will bite!” My reflex was to turn my head to look for the person who had cautioned me. Just while I turned, 2 gigantic brown crocodile clips leapt out of the water and sank their zigzag metal teeth onto my right arm. And when I thought I was the female version of Indiana Jones, my telephone rang. (yes, you guess it, it was my morning wakie wakie..)

I’ve no idea why the crocodile clips appeared. Yes I’m talking about those that we used to use in the science labs during physics lessons while learning about current and voltage. What is my dream trying to tell me? Does anyone know how to interpret dreams?
