Running from reality
Equipped with a flame-thrower, Mr. D started torching everyone around him; all I saw was people running around in flames and some was even burnt to ashes… People were running away from Mr. D and hiding in shoplots and behind bushes but none escaped. Petrified, I ran as far away as I can; running in and out of all the shops around me and finally I ran up to a shop with many rooms… I rushed into one of the rooms but found that it was occupied, then I ran into another and it was empty so I hid in there… moments later, someone walked into the room and asked me if I’m okay? and just before I get to see the person’s face… I woke up.
Yeah, it was all a dream… a dream that I had this morning after I went back to sleep before waking up to turn off my alarm clock at 7am. By the time I woke up again, it was 7:45am and I was suppose to attend mass at 8am! So, I woke up my housemate (who was still sleeping) and rushed to get ready. In Church today I was just thinking about this wierd dream I had cause I can remember very vividly the process of me running away and there was actually other event happenning (involving boats and fishes) but it’s all blur now…
So, I searched for the term “What is a dream?” on Google and came across this site [Dream Moods] and they have a category of Common Dreams > Being Chased which is somewhat similar to what I experienced… Interesting.
Chase dreams may represent your way of coping with fears, stress or various situations in your waking life. Instead of confronting the situation, you are running away and avoiding it.
You know, once I came across a saying that goes: “In life, what you resist; persist.” and I feel that this is very true… Many times, running away from problems is the easiest solutions but it doesn’t solve it… running away just delay the problem. I gotta face it sooner or later. If I don’t face the challenges now, it’ll still continue to come back again and again until I get over it. I guess it’s a lifelong learning process on how to confront and overcome these situations.
For now, I’m just gonna focus on what’s in front of me now and that is my studies… hahaha… end of semester is coming soon and i better start my preparations soon if I want to get good grades this time. Wish me luck! 
Cheers~!
