Dreams - My other reality

There was a riot. I was walking alone on the streets. There was heavy patrolling by the police and the military police. Like a scene taken out of Channel News Asia footage of riots in Indonesia. And I was walking alone, trying to make my way back to join my family at where we were putting up. I think we were on some kind of holiday there.

Some of these rioters tried to stop me. Some of the police too. Then, I just shouted that I was a tourist. And, amazingly, they left me alone. I was even able to walk into this shop that sold bird's nest. I went in to get some souvenirs for my parents. I chose some bird's nest. Then, I remembered I only had 300 dollars to spend. So, I bought 4 bottles of this bird's nest that cost 70dollars each. And, that added up to 280 dollars. And I remember dividing this amount by 5. So as to know how much it cost in Singapore dollars. So, I guess I must be in a country where the exchange rate is 1SGD to 5dollars.

Hong Kong? China?

I was on a holiday. Somewhere. I think I was with a few friends. Vaguely, I remember Apple and Zikai. Where we were stayin was something like a shophouse. But, this shophouse was on the edge of land. Meaning, from one window, you could see the road. But from another side window, you could see the sea just below.

There was someone else who was with me. Vaguely, it was Kay. But, yet, it wasn't quite her. But it was a girl, all right.

(This is similar to that earlier dream where I vaguely know there's someone else who seemed to be Kay, but yet, I know she's not exactly her.)

I got her to go to the window. The window that faced the sea. We stood there for awhile, watching the sunset. It was lovely. It was the feeling one gets when one shares something spectacularly breath-taking with the one one loves.

Then, she suddenly realised something. And had to go tell the other people who were with us.

The next thing I know, there seemed to be an intruder. Some kind of a break-in. Everyone was in a sort of panic. I was still thinking what had happened when Zikai came to me and showed me a broken mosquito coil. He said that was proof of an intruder. A broken mosquito coil.

I remember thinking, this is getting ridiculous. But, I told him to be careful.

Towards the end of this, it suddenly occurred to me that the person I was watching the sunset with had changed into a man. Not a girl anymore.

And I don't seem to know who he/she is after I woke up.
