Curbside Stories

I had a quick nap this afternoon. I have been frequently sleepy these past few days because of my late night vice of watching videos in YouTube... or was it probably because of the cocktail drink in a pouch (yes, in a pouch like a juice) that I bought from a convenience store out of curiosity? Nevertheless, I bet it was not enough to cause me to have such an unusual dream. The sequence of my dream is already mixed up in my head but I vividly remember one man, my lover, who was with me and we were swimming with friends in a river. Funny how I remember he was an engineer, older than me by 5 years, and he bears a very familiar surname. He's tall, around 5 feet and ten inches, with black straight hair. His scruffy round face did not hide his good looks. Yes, I was attracted to him--he was my lover in my dream. A few swims and I noticed that the river had dried up. Another scene was in the exact same room where I took a nap. He entered the room and laid down beside me, hugging ...

The past week has been hard... there was typhoon and consequently no water and electricity for three days. Add it up to the recent work assignment that I dread the most--accounting and finance. And maybe because of the many thoughts about the new responsibility, it already seeps into my dream. When the power supply was back last Saturday, I swore the weekend will be the time I will renew my solemn vow with my bed. And so I did. I had a full 3-hour nap in the afternoon and it was the first time I dreamed about getting a harsh tattoo. I could no longer remember the details of the entire dream because I guess those are already irrelevant. All I can remember is someone grabbed my right arm and tattooed my wrist with a huge number 5 using a really sharp blade. But, I did not bleed. It hurt but it did not bleed. When I looked at my wrist, the number 5 was already a scar. According to dreammoods.com , seeing numbers in your dream means material gains and possessions. It could als...

I took a nap this afternoon after I got home from school. I was joined by my son who is so tired for playing the whole day. I had a dream, I think a sequel to my dream about being in the house of my "beau". I did not write about it. In my dream this afternoon, I was in my "beau's" house. It was a two story old house that I am very much familiar with. My "beau" is in the kitchen and I am heading towards the bathroom. On my way there, I saw a pail almost filled with water with three or four squids undulating in it. And that ends my dream. According to dreammoods.com , seeing squid in a dream signifies that I am threatened and my judgment is somewhat clouded. It could also mean greed and that I am being self-conscious of how others perceive me. On the other hand, water symbolizes the subconscious and the emotional state of mind. It is the living essence of the psyche and the flow of life energy. The pail being almost full signifies abunda...

I could not remember the details of my dream the other night. All I can remember is that I was inside my grandmother's bedroom when I saw a violin. I was excited to hold it and try it since I really wanted to learn how to play it when I was still a child, only to find out that it is broken. I researched for the meaning of my dream and it turned out that seeing a broken violin means sadness, separation and worse, bereavement. Later this day, I heard a news that the brother of my co-employee died of heart attack. He's only 25.

I was so tired yesterday that my body asked me to sleep early--which I did. I slept at around 9PM. I immediately fell asleep. After just a few minutes, I had a dream... it was actually a nightmare.  The first scene was I am walking on a subdivision road. There were tall grasses and houses were in rows. It looks like a low-cost housing project. I could not remember how I got there. As I walk towards nowhere, I saw from a distance a figure of a woman. She's wearing white. As she gets closer, I began to recognize who she is. She has a long hair in a ponytail. She was smiling at me. I smiled back. Before passing by each other, she whispered something in my ear. It sounded eerie and gave me goosebumps. It was then that I noticed that she's not walking but floating on air. She's a ghost!

I had a very emotional dream last night. I confronted a past lover about some property that I invested. I found out he had it leased without my permission. I slapped him so many times on his face while there were flashbacks of the many evil things he did to me. He said sorry but I did not accept his apology. I walked out of the place fuming with anger. The next scene of my dream was at a pond where there are plenty of fishes. The water was so clear that I could see all the fishes swimming about. I sat on a boulder and leaned to touch the water. Fishes began to swam towards me. I tried to catch them but they just slip away. The last scene of my dream was at a restaurant where I met my two best buds. We chatted and laughed. They made me forget my very emotional encounter. ****************** According to  Dream Moods , to dream of a former lover signifies unresolved issues with the person. Perhaps your current relationship is awakening some of those same issues. ...

I had one of the weirdest, but not the scariest, dream ever.  I died in my dream. I could not remember all the details of my dream before I died. All I could remember is that I was travelling in a jeep with some friends. They were hurrying to take me home because I died at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the day before. It is nearing 24 hours that I have been dead. I remember I died while travelling in the same jeep but I could not remember the cause of death. It was a long journey. Despite being dead, I could see what was happening around me. My eyes were wide open but I know that they were already dilated.    I remember passing by a lot of huge trees. As we are nearing home, I came back to life. I scared the hell out of my friends. But, they were all happy that I am back. **************** To dream of your own death symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or your life. You are undergoing a...

I had a dream last night about being in an old church in Pampanga. My friend and I went to the bell tower to see the entire town but I was surprised to see flood of waist deep. It was a raging flood that eventually subsided. An elder told us that it happens to their town most of the time and they are already used to it. Inside the church, my friend and I lay down on the floor to inspect in worm's eye view the magnificence of the architecture and art works on the ceiling. However, instead of seeing the arts, we saw other things... two male ghosts talking and laughing at us. The interpretations is somewhat related to my post about haircut ... To dream that you are in a flood represents your need to release some sexual desires. If the flood is raging, then it represents emotional issues and tensions. Your repressed emotions are overwhelming you. Consider where the flood is for clues as to where in your waking life is causing you stress and tension. Alternatively, the drea...

Photo from here .  I had a restful weekend. In fact, I actually overslept. I woke up at nine o'clock in the morning of Sunday after almost ten hours of sleep. After eating breakfast and preparing the meal for lunch, I slept again for almost two hours. It was during my noon nap that I had a dream. I dreamed of my hair being cut to undesirable length, ergo, really  short. And, here is the interpretation of my dream... To see hair in a dream signifies sexual virility, seduction, sexuality, vanity and health. Dreaming of cutting your hair to a drastic style, on the other hand, denotes making drastic and new approach to some issues of your life.  Cutting your hair shorter in your dream means you have to downsize your lifestyle.

I don't know if it has something to do with my longing to have a driver's license but I had a dream last night about me driving a van. I remembered my son's dad giving me money for our son's birthday. I was on the passenger seat of the van when he gave me the money from the outside. He immediately left telling me that he'll give me more when he gets back. He really didn't went far, he was just on the other side of the road watching me. Suddenly, the van began to move. I was horrified because I was on the passenger seat. I was crying for help but he didn't help me. I miraculously maneuvered the van but instead of stopping, I drove it until I reached a parade of some sort.  Here are some probable explanations of my dream according to Dream Moods : To dream that you are driving a vehicle signifies your life's journey and your path in life. The dream is telling of how you are moving and navigating through life. If you are driving from the passen...

Photo from here . I had a series of dreams with no connection with one another last Sunday. In my first dream, I was merrily watching people on a carnival ride. I just watched them for a few minutes and then I left. In my second dream, I was inside a mall looking for a cellular phone to buy... particularly an iPhone 4S. Yeah, I long to have one that it even haunts me in my dreams. In my third dream, the weirdest of the three, I gave birth to a baby girl. I was rushed to a hospital and was immediately sent to the delivery room to give birth. I was assisted by a surgeon (I could still remember his name) instead of an OB-Gyne. There were a couple of nurses and midwives who were also assisting other expectant mothers. It was not the typical delivery room, more like a delivery ward. I was in bed number 4, beside a huge window. I told the surgeon that I have had previous delivery via Cesarian Section. He said we should continue delivering the baby the normal way. I pushed ...

Photo from here . I dreamed of being on a city, something like New Delhi, with my son and his dad. We were looking for a place to stay, an apartment or condo, but couldn't find any that suits our tastes. We headed towards a small community near the ocean and from afar I saw two tall, pink and blue buildings swaying... close to kissing the ground. I was dead scared but an old woman assured me that it was built that way. After a while, the tide began to rise and a whirlpool started to form right before my eyes. I immediately called Allan to secure Lance and to hold my hands as we grab hold of the huge wooden post. As soon as we hold our hands, the water engulfed us. The water subsided. I was frantic and afraid. I began searching for Lance. I was afraid he'd drown. And, alas, I saw him under water, grabbed his hand and took him out of the water. He's fine. Crying, but, alright. I next searched for Allan and saw him on the other side of the beach. According to Dream Mo...

I had a dream last night about a building collapsing with me and some other co-workers inside it. We're cleaning up some rooms at the first floor while construction men, well, do their job in other parts of the building particularly the third floor. After hours of cleaning, my co-workers and I decided to call it a day and get our things at the third floor. When we got there, the building started to tilt and in just a few seconds, everything collapsed. None in the group got hurt as the floor we're standing on wasn't damaged, in fact, it slid down a slope while we still hold on to dear life. At the end of a downhill ride, we found ourselves on a lake. I saw some of my co-workers crying and calling for help. ******************** To dream of cleaning, according to Dream Moods , implies you are overcoming major obstacles in life. You are moving ahead toward a new stage in your life. To see a building in a dream is to see the self. How high you are in the buildi...

I had a dream last night that I was packing clothes, not for a trip, but just packing clothes that I don't need anymore.  It was the first time I dreamed about it and I had to research for the meaning of my dream. According to Dream Moods , dreaming about packing signifies big changes in my life.  I am putting past issues to test or past relationships behind me.  It can also mean that it represents the burden that I carry. According to Way of Tao , "T he idea of packing reveals what you currently consider to be so important that you need to carry it with you.   Often you will ‘forget’ to pack something or experience drama surrounding the actual packing experience as a way of exploring a transition or the idea of letting something go. Representing ‘baggage,’ or what you may need to release as you move forward, this is a classic dream that occurs during transformative periods. Generally packing clothing, you are trying on new 'costumes' or eliminatin...

I seldom have bad dreams but when I do, it sure is a bad dream that sometimes come true.  Does that also happen to you?   In my dream, these two weird events happened in my grandparents' old house built in the 1950s, which happens to be where my house is currently at.  I don't know how exactly my dream started but I remembered that in the old kitchen just beside the comfort room, an exhibit of some sort is happening.  I looked inside the glass walled viewing area and there is this something that looks like a dinosaur's bones and lying above it is an unconscious creature, ogre-like, being observed by a scientist.  I waited, together with other spectators, to what will happen to the creature.  Minutes passed and at last the creature's fingers started to make some movement and before we could even ask the man inside the viewing area, it immediately got up and wandered around.  I was shocked and couldn't believe my eyes that I went out to catch s...
