A Toa Payoh that resembled Queenstown

I got lost in Toa Payoh. Although it resembled more like Queenstown. Because of a structure that resembled the old Queensway cinema. Without my phone. Rachel was home with her mum when I decided to take a walk. I found the block before and after mine in sequence, but just not mine. The walk took me past an indian wedding at a restaurant where a platform was set with a band and singer on stage. I started whimpering like a little boy. Thank goodness it was only a #dream.

Workaholic subconsciousness

I had a #dream that I was downloading/updating source codes on my laptop from the company network CVS. WHAT SORCERY IS THIS?!

Noah's Ark, meet Ken's DBSS...?

I woke up from a #dream about Singapore experiencing rains so heavy the flood was almost reaching our 23rd floor, and was still rising fast. We were prepared for the worst, but the rain seemed to stop, and the sun came out. The water level went back down shortly.

I think what saved us from the heavy flood was when I just woke up to the lovely smell of lunch that turned the tide. There's nothing quite like an alarm clock from the whiff of food.

Is this real life, or is this fantasy?

I woke up this morning from a #dream again. I was summoned by a traffic police after being pulled over. One of my headlights was gone.

My car IRL has a headlight gone, and I've yet to get it replaced.

I dreamt about men, but I don't swing that way.

So last night, I backpacked to Thailand alone in my #dream. It was some semi-rural area. I was convinced to hop on a cab, or somebody offering me a ride to somewhere else.

As we drove along the dilapidated buildings, he started driving into a series of tunnels that looked like storm drains. He spoke close to my ear, as if to try and hypnotise me. I started feeling drowsy (within the dream) but held on.

We drove past an exit from the canal as I noticed some sunlight. I struggled a bit and snapped out of the daze, promptly asking him to turn out and drop me off. Reluctantly, he did.

I hopped off and ran towards the group of people I saw. As he chased after me, I yelled for help and the people ran over. I thanked them and made friends with this group of... college students?

They were gymnasts. And... so was I it seemed. There was one guy doing a sport "quartise" and another doing "quartoise", to which I replied I did both. And they were really fit and beefy.

Why did I dream about strange men whispering into my ear and hunky men? #fml

Another cocktail full of old memories...

I was part of a group of guys, not exactly just friends, not yet a gang in this #dream. We approached this abandoned building to talk with another group. It was about money. They had setup a gathering area for themselves, a partitioned area within this empty floor, like a small factory floor. The leader of my entourage spoke to them (not sure what the conversation was about) and we left.

I appeared in my secondary school as I exit. The previous building was somehow beside it. My car was parked outside the science block (where the laboratories were) but I did not use it. Instead, I took off on my BMX. I rode past this gray Toyota Rush with Clarence inside. He was with some lady in his vehicle and didn't notice me.

I left the school compound and rode off in a dash. As I turned on to the huge bend at the T-junction, outside the entrance to the building where Best Denki was, I noticed an indian collapsed on the road. I braked to investigate. Another indian uncle came over as well. I motioned for him to shake the guy while I dug for my phone. Before I could finish dialling 999, the guy recovered and replied he was going some place. Everything faded at this point.

The post-credits scene: I was in TP. Some minister gave a lengthy speech and mentioned some lame tagline about "Do some study style, not to play style". Vague recollection only. I'm sure Fabian had a hand in this one.

Working dream and/or spirit-walking boss?

Last night's #dream was simple. I was being questioned by my boss at work. He was asking why had I not responded to a company-wide email for some short online training course. My response was that I'd do so right away.

At least I *think* it was a dream... and yes, this means either I dreamt about him, or he spirit-walked to me. #fml

Post apocalyptic movie blender. But why did it have to be zombies?

In last night's episode, it turned out to be a zombie movie.

In the #dream, scene 1 took place at a fenced up immigration queue sort of strategic location. The remaining humans were checking through newcomers for infections, supervised by none other than... Horatio Caine with his trademark hands-on-hip stance. We were attacked by a mob of slow moving zombies and had to retreat.

We pulled back to some sort of a dock. This counted as scene 2 I guess. The city resembles some US metropolitan, partially submerged in water. The water was covered in algae and we were all in watercrafts. A human personnel accidentally fell into the water, and failed to resurface.

It seems nobody expected the person to return as there were creatures in the water. Enter the Hulk. Yes. The Hulk was with us humans. He dived in for an attack, as we all noticed the creature that sealed the fate of our comrade who fell in.

One of us humans noticed we were under attack once again. This time by some wall-climbing creatures that look a bit like the Chitauri (from Avengers). They were jumping on to the sides of the buildings as they gained on us. On the ground were leapers (Diablo 3, Act 1). Once again, we had to flee.

I recall waking up briefly, and returned to continue the scenario.

Oh wow there's actually a scene 3 which I managed to retain. So now I was on a helicopter-type aircraft heading upwards. Turned out I reached a ceiling, concluding that the whole area was under some sort of dome. I climbed into the tight compartment as gravity seemed to not make sense any more. I navigated the confined space of a maze with seemingly no proper sense of gravity, something out of The Labryinth and/or Escher's Relativity.

More blending of memories

Man these childhood memories sure love sticking around in my #dream. There I was staying at a hotel with R and it was supposedly adjacent to my primary school. I parked my car along the streets nearby and had to run over to collect my car for some reason. *shrugs*

My wife, the Tomb Raider...?

In last night's episode, R was basically my ancient relic treasure hunter, aka Lara Croft. The setting of the #dream was in a cemetery, and she had employed the help of a ghost. So obviously I freaked when the apparition spoke to me that we sought her help. Thus I woke up screaming.

This was when R recited that "ahhh-ahhh-ahhh" from the start of the Enchanted film (which was on television that same night) that distracted me from the nightmare.

Ride at dawn!

In today's #dream, I was involved either in a race or a war. I was required to ride a horse from point A to point B, and point B resembled my primary school. Pretty sure it turned out to be a school Sports Day despite me having rode across grass plains post-haste; so fast that even Gandalf would have been proud.

Timeline Crosstalk

I thought my exam was in the late afternoon and took a nap. When I woke up about 2pm, I realised that I'd gotten the timing wrong and that it was suppose to have started at 1pm. I appear to be in secondary school. I rushed out of my home in Paya Lebar to get to school.

As I ran out, I nearly bumped into a tween girl... singing karaoke outside her own home on a mini ktv box? No matter. I continue to run for a while before realising I could have been driving. Right. Secondary school and owning a car. Next I headed to the carpark where my vehicle was parked. I tried looking for my Subaru. But it wasn't what I was expecting. My vehicle was now a Subaru R2. But it wasn't just any old R2; it had the colour scheme of Buzz Lightyear spraypainted on it.

Good times. #dream

Ghastly Gumdrop

Almost all my teeth cracked and fell off in my #dream last night. Not bogeh, the roots remained, leaving jagged ends behind. And I had my mouth full of broken teeth. Horrible, horrible vision.

Workaholic Dreaming

Woke up thinking I was assigned some work, now I'm not sure if that was real life, or just a fantasy #dream

Escape from thugs, co-starring a few people I know

We were at some unknown location, possibly overseas when Rachel got bullied by some thugs. I got into even deeper trouble helping her. Then Samuel and Clarence came to my rescue and got heavily injured. We escaped back to my old house for refuge, and I hid them in the store room at the back.

My parents then showed up, back from their overseas holiday, and was suspicious about what I was trying to hide. I eventually gave up and told them about my friends unconscious and all. Then they helped to keep Sam and Clare hidden while some potential house buyer came visiting.

It took a while to keep them at bay, and turns out the property agent was supposedly working for the thugs who got the two of them beat up. Complicated? Yes, it was certainly a bloody huge cast in last night's #dream.

Getting summoned

I was parking along the road without displaying any parking coupon. I returned to my car to find that there was a device placed on my windscreen counting up from 7 minutes 42 seconds. It looked like an oversized calculator, but with a simpler interface for the timer. I took it in my hand and it suddenly turned into 8 hours 80 minutes (I know, I know) and I'm notified by the device that my fine would be $880.

It was a pretty weird #dream indeed.

Clarence's Wedding

I dreamt about you Clarence. You and your wedding at some big hall, and it involved some fancy half-time show with one of your R/C vehicles. At least I think the bride was female and human, and hopefully not a robot. And I was pretty much under-dressed. Don't ask.

* Clarence is a close friend of mine who is currently an eligible bachelor by my standards. Only ice-cream lovers need apply.

Diablo and legendary & set items

Let it not be forgotten: I'd previously dreamt about getting magic and rare items in D3, but last night, I dreamt about getting legendary and set items...

Diablo and the Staff of Herding

Why do I keep dreaming about the Staff of Herding...?

Diablo and Rachel

Found a blacksmith plans for real last night and passed it to Rachel, #dreamt I found another one for a set item. D3 is really digging into my brain...

Diablo and Mediacorp

I had a #dream that I had 33k DPS in Diablo 3. And then here was a tv drama involving Yvonne Lim, Chen Hanwei (not my PM) and several other Mediacorp celebrities... But no, they were not playing D3.

Diablo and reservist

I guess I'm thinking about my in-camp training and D3 subconsciously. My #dream was about studying something about "parallelism" for my upcoming chalet that also will level up my Diablo character. NS = kill monsters?

Diablo caused car front suspension to give way?

After gaming in diablo for almost a week, one would expect nightmares when sleeping; i dreamt that one of my car's front suspension gave way.

A Simple Dream

This morning, I dreamt about sending Rachel to work. And then when I woke up, I made my dream come true. Simple right?

Final Destination: Me

It felt as if for the past week or so, i had similar a dream two or three times. It was about the death of myself, Final Destination style, execution by haunting. I was a police, along with a detective and another sleuth.

The room would try to kill anyone inside by hallucination of fatal yet mysterious circumstances, such as the shortage of air. So I guess it's kind of Conan + Scooby Doo + Final Destination + Poltergeist + Supernatural.

But for the record, I never did watch much of Scooby Doo even as a child, not to mention dislike for the genre of Final Destination movies. Poltergeist did, however, haunt me as a child ever since I watched that movie. The other two? I'd have to blame my wife for watching them, I guess.

parking coupon

I know I had a #dream, but all I can recall about it was that it involved a 50cent parking coupon, because it was purple...

Preggers!?

so i dreamt that Rachel was preggers and i hinted about it in a comment on DianaRuth's status. now what?

zombie outbreak... again?

dreaming of zombie outbreak... #fml

A Book of Evil

It was about a journey to attempt to destroy an evil book while resisting from reading its malicious content. There were several instances in which I felt a strong urge to try and read the book, but could not make out the words as I didn't want to bring it too close to my face.

And when I woke up, I had a craving for buah keluak.

ex-classmate who wasn't really

creepy. dreamt i bumped into an ex-classmate (known to be attached to another) who admits she had a crush on me (which i doubt so IRL)...

Water dream!

It was yet another sea-faring #dream, last night, not tonight. It was Ubin or some other pulau. There was a boathouse restaurant, a small family business, that was on the verge of closing down because of the lack of patrons to it... I was there to see them struggle. I think there might also be zombies at the end.

2 dreams for the price of 1

#1 was about getting at in an ancient battlefield by a horseback archer capable of bending arrows' flight path.#2 was about a lot of my teeth rotting and falling off at once... in some lonely school.

time to pay my dues?

Why did i #dream about chalking up $317 worth of a phone bill?

Old man islet

There was an old man living off an island, supposedly Sentosa. He had a small house on an isle with shallow water around it, walking distance from the main Sentosa. And he also had a small boat as transport. But strangely it looked more like Marina Bay was in the background. I was on ye olde Sentosa ferry throughout this dream...

Amicable Arachnids Approaching

Spiders were trying to befriend me in my dream... A nest full of them. Sweet of them but they aren't exactly kittens!

Parking violation

I received a parking summons on a single zigzag line along the road but without a proper violation ticket issued except for a registration number R10058876 that made me so pissed with our government I went into rage mode and... woke up.

Landsharks

I got chased by landsharks. Again.

Shady weapons deal

I got implicated in some shady weapons dealing racket that involved triads and lots of waiting... Scary #dream.

It seemed I was forced to be there because I owed somebody something. So basically I was an unwilling accomplice. But it seems that the wait was more like a police stakeout. Or that we were holding back because we knew police were watching. Either way there was definitely something shady going on and I felt uneasy.

Oh and yes, this is the first dream of 2012. Making time so early in the game now are we?
