Australia. Again. But only this time, I think I was heading for Perth or Queensland. Originally.
The scene started with me making preparations for the trip. Then it switched to showing me boarding the aircraft. I'd hopped on to one flight and was rummaging through my backpack trying to find something. Then all of a sudden, I realise that I was on the wrong aircraft! Now I know that this would be impossible in reality, but then I had now boarded another flight due for Sydney!
Sure sounds like a big screw-up...

PA to a CEO
I have no idea which CEO, much less CEO of what organisation. Could be a Chairman. Basically a very rich person running some large company. The only thing I noticed was that he was a real bigshot with the people around him.
Despite having said that, he appeared to be rather amicable and prefers being informal when there aren't too many of his people around. Big house, big rooms, just himself with (presumably) his son. I figure I was probably new on the job. Which is odd, since I'm more of a software applications support kind of guy. Not really into being a personal assistant much.
So anyway, yes big house. I heard that his wife has passed away some years ago. His son was probably a few years younger than me. He was in his room with his son asleep on his bed (very strange indeed, so I'd to assume it's his son, otherwise he'd be sharing a bed with... *gasp* trust me to think of a scandal even in my make-believe world!
I had to run a couple of errands for him. My upper-study was quite the anxious type and instructed me on this and that.
Yes I realise that this is a Tuesday morning and I'm posting this the moment I reach my office. Just can't resist putting this up! Who knows what the future might bring!

Covert team saving the world
There is a sense of deja vu in these scenes.
First scene, is a rundown building with multiple storeys. A team of people in uniforms storms in through the door, looking like they are there to capture a non-human monster (aka I don't mean "monster" figuratively). They tried searching for the monster but the cunning creature manages to outwit the group and picks off the team members one by one in a few rooms. The environment was quite dimly lit. The remainder of the people pulls back when they realise they were losing too many of their men.
Second scene, is of a guy that does Parkour up the side of a shopping centre, landing on the veranda of a café/restaurant. He lands squarely between the wall and a set of tables and chairs. I'm not sure what his motive was but he seemed to be one of the good guys and was there to stop something from happening. A restaurant customer in another veranda spotted something out of the ordinary when he made his move, but as he turned to look he could not spot anything since our first guy had already hid himself.
Third scene, was on a river, built up amongst buildings, presumably in a city. An event with a grandstand of sorts was ongoing. A speedboat flew into the picture on water, attempting to somehow hijack one of the floating buoys away from the crowd. Everyone on the scene was surprised as they didn't know what was happening. The organisers of this event, unaware of the speedboat's intention, ordered them to be stopped. As the organiser's people started to give chase on the water, our heroic speedboat was already dragging the buoy further away. Then, the buoy exploded. The speedboat guys cut themselves loose from the buoy and leaves the scene. One of the organisers kind of got the picture. So she said: "Somebody go get that buoy." referring to the half blown-up flotation device.
This is a Sunday, slightly before 10.30am that I woke up. Bits and pieces of dream scenes which I seem to have seen before.

Jetpack - Flight of the Bumbling Ken
A jet-propelled engine. That's what I dreamt that I was strapped into. There I was attending somebody else's wedding with me in a fancy banquet suit of sorts. The next moment I was flying around. I know this sounds awfully like the scenes in Heroes where Peter Petrelli did the same thing. Except that in this instance, I didn't have super powers. Just technology on my back, rather.
I didn't have the sensation that I was being chased after by someone either. So it was probably more of a joyride than pursuit-escape kind of situation. Clearly, I was thrilled by the experience. As I was flying up, over and under some sort of overhead expressway I can easily make out the blue coloured sky.
But then a flashback came over me as I recalled what happened before I took to the skies. In the hotel, which was quite a luxurious outfit, I was indeed having someone at my heels. Some minor scuffles had happened, and I managed to struggle my way out of the hands of the pursuant. Some glass panels/windows were broken, and I locked myself into a suite. Yes, a fancy looking hotel room: a suite. Inside, there was a wall of full-length glass panels looking out to the exterior of the hotel. It was really a great view. But I did not have the luxury of time to appreciate the scene before me. For some reason my jetpack was with me at that time. I crashed right through the glass and took flight, blasting off just as the people who were after me broke through the locked door. They didn't look very happy and they weren't friendly either.
Back to the "present" and there I was in mid-air.
This dream, is a real roller-coaster ride thus far in comparison to my previous dreams.

Of Mario and Trains
This one is the funniest so far I think. I believe I recently did dream about certain stuff but I haven't been able to recall them. Mostly random things but things that I can't recall about. I just woke up and I believe I just had REM and sensations of wanting to wake up because I needed to relieve myself.
In any case, the dream had two parts to it. The first, was about me being in a Mario-type game. Literally IN the game! Being one of the players, I had to go through (now rather vague) a certain level with plenty of water, but most of the game level looked blocky, in that I would have to go turn by turn to step on one cell each to get to my goal. There was also a dragon (a la Shrek kind of dragon) in a cave behind a waterfall curtain at the right most end of the level. Yes, most side scrollers goes from left to right. Then I managed to propel myself to this unique area in the map where it was some sort of an Escher picture where the water flows downwards and back up in and endless loop! As I got stuck in the infinite pattern, my dream transitions into the next segment.
Cut scene to me being in a train, or rather being the train. I was initially being ye old locomotive with a steam engine. While traveling on tracks, I traveled faster and while increasing speed, the train (aka me) somehow "evolved" into this electric train, and become like a bullet train! Wow the speed was cool. It's some sort of the feeling like I'm falling (in other more typical dream scenarios) but instead it's the horizontal kind. The speed increases gradually and the train (which is still me) travels along the tracks bypassing train stations by taking the express routes. Although there were some trackworks going on with a couple of warning signs placed on the tracks I continued on regardless. It felt pretty amazing to be traveling that fast. But then I was awoken by a phone call from my sister-in-law. Haha!
And while recalling this dream, I was reminded of a previous dream I had, which I might not have blogged about. Quite simply, I was at a train station (yet again). Or MRT of some sort. Everyone was taking different cars (that's what train cabins are supposed to be called) to different places from this station. The station was pretty large. From overhead boarding platforms, to ground level ones, and even underground ones. There were even cable cars of sorts! Everyone had somewhere to go, and I was one of them. I only remember the place, but not much else on what happened there. Probably not much, but it was crowded.

flushing yellow eyes
I'd dreamt of three people in front of me. They were all supposedly people I'm familiar with. However, the peculiar thing different about them was that, their eyes were yellow. Yes, as if they were wearing special contacts lenses, only they appeared naturally yellow. I can't remember their faces but they didn't feel like they mean me harm.
Then I was with somebody else. I felt like she was Rachel, but I can't recall the face either. We were in a room inside an apartment/house. The place was some what flooded. There was water all over the place and no furniture. We for some queer reason, decided to stand atop a toilet bowl seat, step into the water and flush ourselves. Yet even more surprisingly, as we flushed ourselves away, we were kind of transported into another hidden room. We re-appeared in this hidden room coming out of the toilet bowl also. We were able to get back to where we came from by the same yucky technique without any problem.
It all does feel very strange indeed...

weird shorts
I had a few short stories in my dreams recently...
To sum them up (because I've forgotten them mostly) here's the gist of each of them...
faux-CSI
Perhaps it's due to our turning cold turkey on the lack of CSI on the tele (writer's guild on strike) that I had this one... it was just like watching tv in my dream! I saw Grissom (from CSI Las Vegas) confronting a suspect (at gunpoint no less) who was beside an examination table in what appears to be a mortuary. The male suspect was coughing up on how he plans to kill Ryan Wolfe (this is the part where you're supposed to go "aha!" because this fella is from CSI:Miami!)
faux-Infernal Affairs
Normal cop forced to turn dirty cop. Then he tries to stay clean of the influence of the gangs by going reclusive, but he bumps into them at the airport no matter how hard he tried to stay out of sight. He then gets dragged into their activities by force. Rather sad story this was...
