I have a dream...

Rite, i dreamt that i was Martin Luther King... jus kidding... :)

But seriously, i have been having dreams everyday for the past week which was kinda cool. Actually, read a report somewhere that a normal person have like 2-3 dreams every nite, it is just that we can't remember all of them...

So, when i say i had a dream, it just meant that i had a particular dream that i could remember after i wake up. Actually, i like having dreams... esp the type that take u to some adventure in some faraway land that u never seen before in your life. Then also like the type of dreams that take you along with your frens to say solve a weird mystery in school... And the most hilarious thing about this type is tat often ur frens whom may not know each other actually know each other in the dream. For example, in a particular dream, i had frens from my primary school days, my secondary school days and my junior college days coming together laughing and playing like they had known each other for ages... It was certainly amusing.

In dreamland, the most unlikely thing could also be reality, at least in the dream. Once, i dreamt that i was Kira Yamato from the anime Gundam Seed and i was piloting my strike Gundam to save the earth from Zaft forces... There were like a squadron of Enemy Zakus heading towards a particular areas i was guarding and the only backup i had was a crazy old Sky grasper fighter Jet. Then, jus i was engaging the enemy, the scene suddenly switched to one where me and the crew onboard the archangel feeling from the enemy. I know this may sound absurd, but it was as i had remember in my dreams.

Guess, i had been watching too much anime. But i have also read somewhere that researchers that study how dreams work have a theory that the brain is made up of thousands of thousands of compartments and all the daily experiences, all that we see, hear, are broken down into small parts and randomly placed in the random comaprtments. Then when we enter REM(Rapid eye movement) Stage, that is geek speak for the period of our sleep where dreams most frequently appear, our brain randomly rearrange the images experienced by us when we are awake and this explains how our dreams can be so weird...
For example, the brain may take an image from our primary school years, one from our secondary school years and then mix them together. In the brains desperate attempt to interpret the mixmash of images, it somehow finds a way to link them up, so in that dream, it may seem that our friends from various times of our life who dunno each pother can suddenly be best of pals... This may also explain why in our dreams, we can suddenly transit from one scene to another without any proper linkage. I suspect this also explains how we are able to time travel in our dreams...

Lol, i know i sound very geekish here, but this sort of dreams are some of the things that really engage my attention. For more information on how dreams work and dreams interpretation, you can go wiki it... Found alot of interesting stuff there... Like how you can differentiate a dream from reality... there are actually proven methods to tell if you are dreaming or awake! Or for those with nightmares that keep recurring, there are actually methods to confront the nightmares in your dreams!( Its true!)

And besides, such dreams also adds a nice touch to our otherwise mundane life of mugging as students and can help us escape the pressures of reality every now and then, so go on, lets all have a dream... Who knows maybe you will be able to meet this writer in your dreams... Jus kidding :)
