dreams again

last night was again a night of dreams. 

and this time round, it was about a funeral. certain parts of the dream was vivid to me whereas certain parts were kinda blur. what i could remember was that i was involved in a taoist funeral ceremony. it seemed like there were many people in the dream but i was the only one involved directly in it. in the dream, the funeral rites had begun and we were in the process of transporting the coffin on its final journey (no idea if it was a burial or a cremation). and i was given 2 sets of joss sticks - green-based and red-based. as a guide, green-based joss sticks are used for the dead and red-based joss sticks for either gods or those who lived pass 80-years of age. anyway...

for some strange reasons, the scene changed to a room and the funeral ceremony that was happening was put on hold and the procession was waiting outside the room. in the room was a square table and around this square table sat 4 persons. i couldn't recall who these four persons were except that the two sitting closest to me were a man and a lady. they were discussing how to proceed with the funeral procession and it seemed like the decision was to put it on hold. as they were discussing, my joss sticks continued to burn and it came to a time where the joss sticks were almost completely burned off. i decided i couldn't wait anymore and called out to them and asked them to hurry up.

the dream ended there...

it was a really interesting dream. and with some reflections, i think i can figure out what this dream was about. i supposed the funeral procession that was on-going was related to my current process of ending my current job. i have technically moved on from my current job although i have not tendered and thus, the funeral procession was still on-going.

that the funeral procession was put on hold and where a table of 4 persons (with vivid view of a man and a lady) discussing if it should proceed probably relate to the current events where i had been interviewed by a man followed by a lady and another telephone interview by a person whom i did not get to see (thus i cannot figure out the face of the other 2 persons in the dream). the process of discussing reflect current on-going deliberations by the bank.

and finally, the fact that i was impatient and wanted an answer given that the joss-sticks i was holding was burning out... well, this is kinda easy to answer after interpreting the above. but still, i cannot fully explain what the joss sticks are except perhaps it signifies a certain time that is running out.

hmmm... i am beginning to enjoy this dream interpretation process.
