I Have Cramps

So, had another weird dream and this was after I woke up around 8:30am and went back to sleep.

My sister Leke, mom and I went to this concert by UPCC (U.P. Concert Chorus). It was somewhat a reunion of all the past and present members and they were doing a special concert. My mom wasn’t participating so she sat with me. We were in this big auditorium and we were lucky enough to have seats up front.

My sister gave me her camera to take pictures, but this camera was big, bulky, and one of those you used to buy back in the 90′s. None of those nice, little, anti-shaking point-and-shoot cameras nowadays.

Some little tidbits I remember of the dream:

• I remember walking to the concert (?) with my friend Erlin and her family, the place around us looked like the place I used to live in Project 4 (Mascardo). I’m not sure why but this could be a different dream.
• there was another girl with us, but I don’t quite seem to remember who she was. She was one of the new members of UPCC but for some reason, she sat with us during the first part of the show.
• me, my mom and the other girl we were with were backstage standing around looking at all the members (for some reason, I only remember the girls) and their colorful costumes.
• we went back to our seats, only that we came from the back of the auditorium and we ran or somewhat made a grand entrance and we jumped to our seats like a stunt. Don’t ask me how my mom did that, and for some reason, I was wearing a gray sweater hoodie and had the hood on my head (and thinking I was like a Jedi(?)). And note, there were seats in front of us (not sure how we ran towards our seats right in the middle).

So, when the concert started, I was trying to take pictures as much as I could, but try as I might, I just either couldn’t seem to focus the camera right, or I couldn’t take a shot fast enough. All the other ones I could take was blurry or was taken too late. I was getting frustrated at the camera. Once I looked at the camera in my hands, and there was a big rotating fan in the front (wha?). And another time, I was trying to fix one of the settings when I suddenly had a bout of sleepiness fall upon me (this was in the dream).

That’s all I can remember at this point. So weird. :P

How weird. I just woke up from dreaming I was telling someone I had a dream about her. What was weird was the dream I had about her was another dream I had a few moments before. Confusing? I know. I am, too.

She was performing like in a Concert At The Park but it was kind of an audition for a company that might hire her for future productions. She just met this pianist and was overjoyed to know how he knew all the parts she was going to sing by heart, and how they were going to be perfect together performing. I remember just watching the pianist and hearing her in the background.

I think I dreamt of that because of a similar scene I saw last night.

Another dream was I was writing some Spanish words on paper along with translation and pronunciation for someone. I don’t know why.

Then another scene where this guy went downstairs to teach some people how to properly pack their suitcases: from small items first to bigger items on top. (I’ll have to research this later…could be true!)

And now I’m wide awake now, thinking about the weirdness of my dreams. Now to figure out how I’m going back to sleep.

So, I’ve had some weird dreams the past couple of days.

The day before yesterday and surprisingly I still remember, I dreamt about Milla Jovovich. If you don’t remember her, she was in Fifth Element (fave!) and also in the Resident Evil movies (more faves!!). So anyhoo, I’m thinking what triggered this dream was after watching Milla showing off an editing studio for the latest RE movie.

So the dream started that she was sort of my hubby’s acquaintance and was invited over the house since she was in town after a shoot. She was kind of out of sorts and looked tired so I tried my my best to entertain her and keep the conversation going. However, she was polite enough and answered questions but she still looked a little down or something. So finally as she was leaving, I offered her a boiled saba. Saba is a kind of banana that we have in the Philippines. When it’s boiled and such, it kind of gives out its natural sweetness. Milla took it half heartedly and left.

That night, I had some sort of party at my house when Milla suddenly showed up all excited and wide awake, as it were. She said that she loved the boiled saba and wanted to know where to get it and how to cook it and I obliged. I guess the taste kind of cheered her up. :)

Another dream I had today was about a small town, my own house, a scavenger hunt, a piano, playing by ear and tar. I won’t go too much into detail because it’s really hard to explain, such as dreams are. Even though the dream with Milla was pretty clear. The only thing that made me wonder about the second dream was me being Caucasian and long sandy brown hair. Go figure. :)

So this dream is a little short. I was dreaming that I was working out with my either my co-worker, Tim, or my husband, Lucien in a basketball court. It was nighttime. In the distance, lightning would flash with threat of a storm coming. The wind was picking up; my hair was flying in all directions. My companion and I talked about the lightning and how we were afraid it would come closer and hit us in the open basketball court. As we feared, the lightning strikes were moving closer, so whoever I was with and I went to take shelter under some tall trees; him under one and me under another one with big, sturdy branches. We figured if the lightning would come to us, it would strike the trees first.

We felt the wind pick up some more. Thankfully, no lightning struck. However, I saw coming right beside me, a small twister zooming in close and fast. It was right beside the tree, but as I waited for it to go past, it paused, RIGHT by the tree. It swerved towards me, and since the twister wasn’t thick enough (maybe 3-4 feet wide), I stepped out of the tree’s protection to avoid the twister. As it swerved to the tree, the twister went back to its original path. Then I thought to myself I was crazy for leaving the tree’s protection and I jumped back and entwined my arms around the sturdy branches. All this while, my companion was shouting something at me I couldn’t understand.

What I didn’t expect was for the twister to come back to my tree. I was engulfed with a massive wind surrounding me, but I noted there wasn’t much debris. Then, I was in the middle of the twister where all was suddenly calm. Then, another whoosh as the rest of the twister went by. The tree was sturdy enough that I was rooted to the ground.

And that’s when I woke up.
