Dream Files: Pure Survival Story
July 9, 2007 by igme
Water most often than not appears in my dreams. It’s not surprising since I’m a water-born sign (Scorpio). In material form, water has been my refuge. That’s why an excess of water in my dream baffles me no end.
The last time an impending flood flooded my sub-conscious realm was like a CGI-manipulated Hollywood scene, replete with fantastical elements like a UFO spotting their lone target (that would be "me"), of running away en masse to a huge Chinese temple, of suddenly freezing time, of colorful moths slowly emerging, fluttering the air. Get the picture?
In m dream today, I work in a basement of a school building when suddenly, a tsunami-like ball rolled over the building. I was trapped, together with some students (real names and people of my college blockmates included). The wierdest part was the building is underground-built, and the basement where I am was 7-8 floors down! I knew in my dream that I didn’t know how to swim, let alone float my way up. And then I saw myself deep under the sea, trying to hold my breathing for as much as I could, my body gliding up, my feet in tow, a few bubbles escape. I felt the calm sea, but what I’m after was my life.
In the news, I was the the lone survivor of the underground school that was engulfed by the flood (!). I attended a simple funeral rites for my colleagues. There was profound sadness in the air for the 25 or so lives lost. All the people could not believe I survived. They deemed it a miraculous act.
A lavish motorcade followed, with me standing beside Angel Locsin on her seat. What?!
