It is Saturday morning and I amble across the tunnel lightheartedly. I spot the same people hawking their items and the same busy crowd rushing towards their individual destinations. Out of the blue, I spot a lady with a tin can in her hands, raising funds for a charity. She is middle aged and she fades
Into the background. As I continue walking, I notice an elderly lady in her
Sixties carrying the same tin can. My heart starts to feel a tinge of pain. At this instance, This thought came into my mind,"What about the younger working crowd?"
I take a look at the ladies. They look forgotten and sad. I carry on and I see
The last lady, elderly as well.
This happened ten minutes ago.
I don't know why but it pains me
That they should raise causes on their own. I know there are many young adults who help out as well. However, seeing them there makes me
Feel young adults can do even more for society. Even the aged has stepped in, don't you think we should?

Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Okay, I'm writing this immediately after I realized that I had a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. This dream has never happened like any dreams before. In fact, the first dream was lucid and the second dream was partially lucid. This is not as powerful as the ultimate lucid dream I had but it was crazy. (I just realized that the format did not include spaces between the paragraphs! What a read! Haha)
THE MIND IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL. Two years back when I had my best lucid dream, I changed the landscape to make the monsters attacking me in the gold cave in the Egyptian like place I was exploring disappear. I crushed them with my bare hands because I knew it was a dream. I then changed the landscape and ended up in Singapore and looked for the sea so that I could practice running on water. Don't ask me why, but I was a running fanatic at that point of time and I would do anything to improve my timing. The next day, I managed to run 2 km in 8 minutes and 35 seconds that day. I cannot beat that timing now. At least, yet. I definitely can do it when I train even more.
Okay, I dreamt that I was driving and I looked at the block. It was night at the block said 773, Hougang avenue 3. And I knew that there was no such block so I was dreaming. (The last time I had such a dream as well.) Hence, I know it was a lucid dream- a dream where I know it's a dream so I can control it. Someone was driving the car down, it was a jeep, and we were on a concrete carpark that looks like it was very messy. There were many turns and I saw some actresses at the top so I wanted to see what they were doing so I drove the car back up without being in the driver's seat. Like my previous lucid dreams, I wanted to shoot down the "fake" people, but I couldn't this time cause my focus wasn't there. I made the car go up and then I grabbed one of the fake people. I tickled myself with the person cause I wanted to know if I could feel a sensation in the dream. I could not feel it for the first four times but I suddenly felt it! Then, I woke up with a start. I was in my bedroom. I wanted to know what caused the sensation. How could I feel something when I was dreaming? I started remembering my former dreams of people hugging me and touching me and swimming.
How could I feel all those? I looked down and I saw a HUGE, cream white soft toy bear that was on me. I pinched it off and the paw came off and it spoke to me. I was shocked because I woke up from my previous dream already and I knew that my previous dream was a dream, not real life. I remember that there was someone in my room. I think my sister so I felt very dizzy and confused and we ended up at the mama shop downstairs. I was spinning and I fell and my purple bag (that I carry often) fell onto the table and I hit something off. The owner that we often see was there and I said, "Sorry, I don't know why I'm so dizzy." I went to text my friend that I often text because I was so puzzled. I bought a grape yakult and drank it in my room and I felt better. My sister bought some sweets. I recall that we were back in room, and suddenly, I saw my brother and sister playing with my neighbour, who was a young Indian boy. However, I looked closely and it was not him! It was a toy that could speak and jump. And it had wires but I was shocked. Wasn't this reality already? I asked my sister or brother. They said that it was very normal. Toys can actually speak. It's like Toy Story. I did not believe it. I asked around and I looked at my shelf. I sat there thinking for about one minute and I looked at my phone and I saw picture snapped of all the toys dancing in my room and also two of my "Happy Fish" pictures. One had my pink dolphin facing me and the other had three pink notes Covering my pink dolphin's face. My mum came in and I asked her to say hi to the toy. "That's not our neighbour, that's a toy that looks Like him." I said questionably. There was also another smaller version that looked like my neighbour too. My mum just nodded as though nothing was out of the blue.
I was puzzled. Everyone seemed to know it all along. (My bedroom was the bedroom I had currently, except it was midnight and the clock stopped at a certain time after that. My windows were open as usual. However, the shelves directly in front of me were the shelves from my Anchorvale home. There was one White table at the bottom, three other light brown shelves at the top. Anyway, the reason why I can remember my dream in great detail is because I always look back and my dream and recall it. Hence, my room was a mixture of that of my old house's and new house's room.) I went and said "Hello" to the toys through waving. I could not believe it. There were all Alive. I was really shocked. Why were they suddenly Alive? I haven't even had toys in the longest time and suddenly, my sister or brother got these toys and placed it on my shelves. I looked in front and I saw the a toy being blocked from my angle. It was blocked because my bed is very high on a platform and beside the window directly. The shelves were more towards the middle of the room. It was blocked by a white box like thing. I went forward and I saw a blueberry cheesecake toy talking and I was like wow. There was also another chocolate cake or strawberry talking. There were also some lizard toys that looked like rare species and I touched it and suddenly, another snake-like toy that was about 5 cm in diameter wrapped around my second finger on my left hand so tightly and I Was so scared. I was petrified. I tried to get it off. It was painful. (I realized that the Sensations were real.) The lizard-toy that was yellow with yellow gray spots, a total of about 10 spots forming an inverted triangle also wrapped around me and another white grey lizard with the same spots was running towards me. Then a black lizard/snake was running towards me from the floor and I jumped away and ran out and they came closer.
Before I move on, I want to say that I remember there were other toys also. There was a talking clock that suddenly had eyes. It was a brick red clock. And then there were also some other things that I will slowly recall. The blueberry cake was a log cake by the way, since I remember now. Then suddenly I woke up again. I was in the Living Room. That explains it! I realized that I had been dreaming for the past two times. (The carpark driving at Block 773 that doesn't exist and the white Teddy back that woke me up and the blueberry log Cake. And our "neighbour". Actually, neighbour-looking toy. I was in the living room. I remember that my view faced the television an my room was on the right. I was situated at the far back end of the living room in the centre. Where have I seen that living room before. (I'm trying to recall now, in reality as I'm recalling my four dreams within dreams.) It looks like my aunty's house's living room and it looks like the living room in my old Anchorvale house. Anyway, it's mainly white and Marble polished and I saw the Tv console that I used to have at Anchorvale house. (319C) and then there was the Orange old vase we used to have, but it was a smaller version. About 5/8 of the original one we had. And the there was a black television in the middle and the whole place had green grayish sofa everywhere. Like there were a lot of people and the television was turned on and the character was mostly blue in Colour. Then, I told my dad that the toys were alive! I remembered looking at my Camera Roll and seeing pictures of evidence I took but then I looked and they were gone. I told him about my previous dream foreshadowing the current dream. There was another Man too. He looked like a technician or and engineer. He seemed to wear spectacles. I started looking for toys and talking to them and they told me that they were alive. They wanted to hug me and then I kept thinking about how I had the lucid dreams previously. This could not be a dream again. I've only had a dream within a dream once before and it was also a lucid dream. (That Lucid dream I had was the most powerful dream. I changed the landscape and ran on water to practice my running skills and mental skills.)
I picked up and Elmo thing that looked like boxing glove material tied up together with brown string. It was a vest that children wear. It could talk to. I held the vest and it vibrated like a human being. "Say hi to them!" I took up the toy and made it say high to the people sitting at the chairs behind the living room. It was the only toy I was not afraid of. "I used to like Elmo when I was young. I think it should be okay since it doesn't have scary hands like the other toys." I thought. I sang the Elmo song and I felt a sense of nolstagia hitting me. The toys were running amock and I was petrified. However, I started to question more. There must be an answer. Why are They Alive? Now that I look back in hindsight, I realized that this reflects my personal character in life. I always have to have a logical answer. I got my answer in my dream. Behind me, there was a squished seating area with about three chairs. These chairs were the rattan ones you would see at cost chill out places which adopted the rattan-look. The chairs were greenish grayish as well. They were made of rattan. Someone on the chair or my dad told me that these toys were not alive. I think my aunt was there too. I saw her. The speech was as follows, "They really seem alive all the time but it is actually a market research conducted by all the dealers from various markers to see what we like to watch on television, what we do in our daily lives, what we buy, what we wear so that they can make more money." It didn't make sense to me but it kind of did because I could not understand how toys could be alive. My Elmo toy seemed so real. This is crazy.
I have a lesson that applies to everyone. I believe that we should write our dreams down. After I have created this habit since a while back when I read the article on lucid dreams about 5 years ago, my mental strength has increased tremendously. I have the power to literally stop a nightmare when I am having a dream. At times, I purposely jump down the building in the dream just to try it out but that ends the dream so I don't recommend that. The mind is powerful.
