dream
I had a dream.
I was in a clothing shop, my sister was in the dressing room. I was sitting on some chairs outside talking to her. Apparently we were in Malaysia because I was telling my sister in the dressing room that the Levis in Malaysia had a lot of patterns even though they weren't cheap. I was rocking back and forth in my chair and nearly fell over but the person next to me (female, unidentified) pushed me back up.
We walked past a row of shops that were selling accessories. I wanted to look at some earrings that were 3D, and my mum wanted to look at something from another shop. But, I kept knocking things over, so we left without buying anything. Then, we went into a jewellery shop. My sister spotted a square ring set with black amethyst, which looks similar to the one my good friend in SCI Lynnette has, except hers isn't amethyst, it's red plastic on one side and blue plastic on the other. I wanted to look for a diamond ring, but couldn't find what I wanted. My mum and sister went into the toilet to clean it before buying it, to see what it really looked like. When they came out, we spotted my grandparents standing in the shop, which now looked like a money changer shop.
When we left, we were in the SCI building. It was WAB's anniversary celebration and SCI had become WAB's new building. We were on the third floor, and there was a long line of people queuing for the lift, but they were lining up very neatly in pairs. We decided to take the stairs instead because the stairs were empty. As I looked out of the window, I saw people wall climbing and bungee jumping. I saw my first boyfriend in 7th grade Levi doing the flying fox out of the window, and I really wanted to see him and talk to him, but when the guy suddenly appeared and ran down the stairs, I realised he wasn't who I was looking for. When we got to the ground floor, we wanted to go look around. But my mum said no, we were carrying too many things. So my sister and I decided to go put it into the car first.
WAB became Singapore Swimming Club as we stepped outside. The pool was really big and nice and there were lots of kids running about. My sister and I spotted Moni, her best friend in elementary school, in the pool, so we decided to jump in to play too. My sister was already inside, but I couldn't get in, so I grabbed Moni's long hair which was bright red and jumped in. I was wearing my green bikini. Later, we walked around and I saw some of my teachers like Mr Sheldon Guenther and Mr Andy Murphy.
Then I woke up.
What a strange dream. But I was so disappointed when I woke up, just so disappointed it wasn't real. I felt so happy and exhilarated in the dream, but when I woke up it was like I had left my whole life behind. As Freud said, dreams are our unconcious desires and unfulfilled wishes. Is Freud right? Or are these just remnants of my memories? Or have I been reading too much Freud that I'm making a big deal out of a dream that should have been forgotten?
