Dreams Are My Reality ...

Disclaimer: This is going to be an absolutely boring post! I take no responsibility if you happen to fall asleep halfway through this post, roll off your chair and bump your head against the floor or something. There, I've warned you already, so don't go sending your lawyers to sue me or something.

The day has been a rather busy one and I blame it all on my service provider Jaring. I could hardly access their network all day cos all their base station went offline for almost the whole working day. It was the first time it ever happened since I've been using their service.

They're normally a very dependable internet service provider and have hardly given me problems with their service. While a lot of you guys out there are using the other really useless service provider (and you all know who that is) that perpetually give problems, I was always happy with mine until today, that is.

I shouldn't be too hard on them cos this was really the first time ever I experienced no connection at all the whole day but I'm so pampered and used to the excellent service they provide that the slightest hiccup on their part will have me screaming bloody murder especially so when I had to drive all the way from my office in pouring rain, getting caught in traffic and traveling all the way to the city centre just to send my client two miserable pieces of visuals for a press advertisement that I could have just as easily emailed to them had their service been working!

Man, what a time for them to go offline and I didn't even have any backup internet connection. I couldn't even go home and get online cos I use the same service at home. What could have taken me 10 minutes or less to get done ended up taking me three whole hours. It's sad when we've come to depend on technology so much that when it's not around, things get so screwed up.

And worse still, they made me miss an assignment that was due today and there went some good money down the drain too ... siggghhh ... Oh well, thank god everything is back to normal now. Ok enough of my bitching. I'm not being fair to them. They are an excellent service provider and I should give credit where credit is due. Lets just hope they don't make it a habit. I can't take not being able to blog for one whole day ... LOL!

On a different note, I've been having weird and oftentimes scary dreams the past couple of weeks. There are time when I would even end up screaming, well not really screaming, more like groaning for help and the next thing I know wifey would be shaking me to get up. And when I wake up, I'd be totally uneasy and a little frightened for a couple of minutes. I'd sit up in bed, sometimes all sweaty and look all around the room wondering if some shadowy figure will pop out of the darkness and finish whatever it was doing to me in my dream.

It's been happening on and off for quite a while that I wonder if there is any significance to my dreams. I mean, is it a sign of some bad omen to come? Do dreams really mean anything? Do they even come true? Speaking from experience, there has been one or two dreams that have sort of come true. It could be a coincidence or something but it does freak me out when it happens.

There have been times that I'll dream of something and then a couple of weeks or maybe even months down the road, I'll be doing something that I feel I've done before and then it'll hit me that I actually dreamt about it before. It'll be exactly like what I experienced in my dream. The strange thing is I can totally forget about the dream until the scene unfolds itself again weeks later and then I'll remember every single detail of the dream. It's so surreal yet freakingly scary! In fact just last night I had one more of those scary dreams again.

These dreams always involved people I know who are close to me like family and friends and it'll start out like your everyday dream and slowly proceed along to having something or someone trying to get me. Sometimes it's pure evil, like people getting up from the dead, exorcist kind of scenarios and stuff like that and sometimes I can't really tell who or what it is that's after me.

I'll be trying to run and get away and it'll always end up catching me and I'll be screaming and struggling to get free and that's when thankfully wifey will always be waking me up. I don't think I want to see or know how the dream ends! Damn, I'm getting the shivers just writing this post.

Wifey is sound asleep and the places is all quiet and I'm getting all jittery just recalling the dreams. My hair is even standing on end! You all know what a great coward I am, ya? What compelled me to write about scary dreams so late at night, I have absolutely no idea! Maybe I should have written about acne treatment or sponge Bob square pants or something.

But then there have been dreams that I absolutely love and hated it when I woke up halfway in the middle of them. One of my best and most favourite dreams I ever had was when I dreamt I was a secret agent along the veins of James Bond ... hehehe ... I was out there chasing baddies, deactivating bombs, screeching car chase scenes, saving the world and had women falling at my feet and all that ... LOL! I can remember every single detail of that dream till this very day but unfortunately no matter how hard I try I can never get a rerun of that dream.

Then there have been dreams where I shall not even mention here for fear of having my blog rated X or something ... LOL! Oh and another of my favourite was when I dreamt that Jennifer Garner and me were an item ... hehehe ... sorry honey, but you know the crush I have on Jennifer Garner, ya? :D Then there are the sick and cruel kind of dreams when you dream you're sleeping and the alarm clock goes off and you have to get up for work and the next thing you know, the alarm clock really goes off and you really HAVE to get up for work. Those kinds of dreams I really hate!

But all that said and done, it's a nice cool night (it rained heavily today after almost 3 hot weeks) and I hope to be able to get some nice decent sleep and not have any dreams at all. After last nights dream session, I'm not looking forward to more of those kinds of bad dreams. Here's wishing you all a good night and sweet dreams :D
