Another cooky dream.
Oh yeah, it's been a long time since I last wrote anything ne? I wrote the dream down when I was half-asleep and I'm reading it now and I have to take a bit of time to translate the gibberish that is my handwriting when half-asleep...
Anyway, in the dream, I was in the grounds of my parish church here with Nigel Bailey, the British guy from Relic Hunter. There were a series of small pots around the grounds and we were helping finish them. We had one done and we were to transfer it to Pam Anderson.
Again, cooky dream.
So we went off and just as we were about to exit the gate, who do we see but the lady herself walking towards us. There was just no mistaking that blonde mane. There were two guys there who volunteered the use of their volkswagen beetle to transport the pot, so Pam gets in and the bloody blighters drive off when Nigel and I were about to get in. Incidentally, Pam was shrieking to be let off but they wouldn't.
Nigel and I went back to the parish grounds, I think it was mentioned that the time was the Hour of Elders, just before the Holidays. We get small rosaries, both blue beads, from the store and we walk around a bit before heading for the gymnasium.
We go in, look around, and I spot a high school classmate, who also happened to be my crush at that time, Almer. He was jogging off to somewhere (I don't think he saw us) and I chase after him. I pass by the beds of my two nephews (by my cousins) Joel and Paul Ryan, who were shaking their heads at me, bloody gits.
Nigel and I caught up with Almer in my grade school.
Note: I studied in a Catholic school and the buildings were just behind our parish church, grade school and high school, so it wasn't that far of a run. Back to the dream.
Almer was reciting the rhyme "star light, star bright" coz I think I asked him who or what he was going after. But when I turn around, it's Victor standing there. Victor (Yu Hao/Xiao Yu/Hao Ge) from the Taiwanese drama The Outsiders (or is it Fighting Fish). I say Victor coz the actor Guo Pin Chao) was in character.
Anyway, Nigel suggested we explore the first grade wing. I say no, bad memories of when I was there. I look around and decide we'll go to the sixth grade wing, which is isolated from the whole school when I was there in real life. It was like, the whole school/community is up there at the top of the hill and we were just thrown down to the bottom all by our lonesome. We had three sections so that's three classrooms and that was it.
So we go down to the place and we meet a few of my former teachers going up the stairs. Side note, the national anthem was playing in the background.
There was a man and a woman behind me, and she was explaining something to a teacher about the man, and I say, is he deaf-mute then? And she was like, yes! That's the term I was looking for!
Edge away, dude, and we cross over to the grade VI classrooms. Victor was looking for someone there, or he was meeting someone there, coz he's part of this gang, Notre Dame. I know it's a bloody team, football I think, in the US, but heck, that was what I heard it was!
Victor and I... we were having a bit of a discussion about a kid, who's actually my kid with another guy but he doesn't know about that.
I went up to my grade VI classroom -- my section was Archangels and we were the last room there. In point of fact, I think I had another dream and a location was that classroom as well. Hmm... vampire or was it travelers?
So, two thugs were approaching, trying to intimidate us. Heck, even Nigel wasn't that intimidated by them and a few punches later -- I pride myself in knowing that I hit one thug on the nose -- they're scampering away for their boss. Victor meets and talks with the guy, Nigel's outside admiring the view, and I go inside the Archangel classroom.
Class was in session but the students don't mind me. One thing I noticed was that they were using black markers to write on the blackboard, not chalk. I walk up to the teacher and we chat as we look out the window for the view. She's extolling it and I go, yeah, a view of denuded mountains and polluted air over a crowded city. She goes, I didn't say there'll be no air! I go, I said polluted air. I leave her, saying I've got an appointment with a publisher.
Outside, Victor's still talking to the guy and the guy agrees to Victor's terms about something or the other but they're both happy about it. I sit with them along the cement bench: Nigel, me, Victor, boss-guy, and he was saying that he'd heard of Victor and respects him.
After further negotiations, I place my hands on Victor's upper arms and he leans back onto me, finally lying down with his head on my lap, and Nigel is supporting us both.
Victor goes, your branch of the Notre Dame has done good work.
Boss-guy goes, Yes, but you're better.
We left then, and we went up to a tree where we're supposed to meet someone, only no one was there. Nigel spots a note inside the tree and we gather 'round to read what it says.
And that was when I regained full consciousness.
Funny, just the other night, I had a dream with Ricky (Dan Li Jie/Dan Zi) portrayed by Lan Zheng Long. We were on a road trip on his motorcycle. Stops were quiet infrequent but he once left me on the motorcycle to talk to someone. The whole dream revolves about that bike ride and the trip, I don't think we finished it.
Crikey, wonder when I'll have a dream about Andrew (Yang Xun/Ah Qi) played by Zhang Xun Jie...
