i wanted to blog about a dream i had 2 nights ago. it wasn't an angry dream but one where i felt very kancheong (cantonese for "flustered, a strong sense of urgency"). here's the story...
it was a dark space. i was standing next to (or in, it was vague, but didn't matter) a building where there were very beautifully carved and multi-coloured beams. something very similar to those one can find at chinese traditional temples. it felt cool and calm all round.
then suddenly, i noticed the beam on fire. it was not the ferocious type of fire. but one that was slowly licking and playing around at some parts of the wooden beam. the blueness of the fire contrasted rather interestingly with the multi-coloured beam.
at that time, my second sister appeared. she seemed to be having a little tiff with my brother, who also appeared out of no where but cannot be seen.
i called out to her to help me put off the fire as i didn't like what i saw. a fire is a fire. and fire and wood don't coexist without the wood being reduced to ashes. suddenly, the fire intensified. it turned from blue to yellow and from a slow licking flaming to a more ferocious angry one. and the fire started to spread. sensing danger, i called out to my sis and brother to help me put off the fire. she didn't. instead, their bickering intensified.
i felt very helpless as there was nothing i could do to try to stop their bickering. and the fire continued intensifying. then...
i woke up.
as i said, it wasn't a scary dream. but one that woke me up. and certainly, it was not difficult to interpret the dream. very straight forward actually. in the dream, the beam represented my mum.
