strange dreams

last night was interesting. it was a night full of dreams, back to back. there were at least 4-5 of them just before i woke up. and interestingly, i woke up at about 6am, and deciding it was a tat too early and went back to sleep. i woke up at 7am finally and in that one hour, i dreamt another dream or two. these last dreams were to close the earlier series of dreams that were left hanging without a proper ended. lol! weird right? anyway, i could vaguely recall the dreams in detail. but roughly, they comprised the following...

• this was one of the first dreams. in the dream, i was both the first person involved in the action as well as a third person by-stander. the dream setting was that of a very tall hill and there were a lot of steps that led to the top. these steps resembled the aztec pyramids and was brick coloured. i was climbing up a steps and i was aware there were others doing so too, both men and women. the climbing became a competition of sorts and for some reasons, the women stopped just before the top, whereas men would progress all the way to the top. then again, all these climbing occurred in the my mind as a bystander in the dream. and i rationalised that the steps were symbolic of a corporate ladder and that there was a glass ceiling effect of sorts for woman. the dream ended just like that.

• in another dream, the steps (in the above dream) was still around but we were no longer climbing. the scene in the dream transformed to that of a headquarters. it reminded me of mindef headquarters. i was somehow attached to a classified unit at the basement and there were lots of people in the dream. for some reasons, the basement was superbly crowded. and then someone called out to me. he was a colleague who worked in the above ground levels and seeing me at the basement, he told me i should head "upstairs" and led to to the above ground levels. for some strange reasons, i wanted to resist as i was not supposed to be there and didn't want my identity compromised. but i didn't. i went along and when i arrived at level 1, i noted my pass did provide me the ability to access level 1. the dream ended there.

• the scene of the dream remained the same as the above. now, i was walking around aimlessly at the basement after visiting the toilet. and as in the above dream, there lots of people. there was a very long queue. the queue led to the toilet. but somehow, i noted there were both men and ladies  in the queue. many of the ladies looked like they couldn't hold on to their bladders anymore and were moving around awkwardly. i found myself in the queue somehow and in front of me were a group of male students. and then for some unknown reasons, i told the boys that they were in the wrong queue and they should head to the male toilet round the corner instead. the dream ended there.

• there was another dream. the setting was somewhat similar to the above. it seemed like a continuation of the dream, but i was convinced it was not. there was a break in between. this time round, all the boys broke away from the queue and i brought them to the guys toilet around the corner. they headed into the toilet and somehow, the toilet seemed very quiet. there was an awkward silence in the toilet and it seemed like the toilet interior led to somewhere deeper and more secretive. for a moment, there were also people wearing suit and tie walking out of it. it felt awkward. the dream ended there.

these were what i could recall. there were a few others. distinctly different. but yeah, i couldn't recall them. weird right? i must have been too stressed.

lol.
