Weird Dreams, Nasty Dreams

I have been having a lot of very weird dreams nightly of late. Some were scary, some weird (weird weird, and nasty weird), and last night, 2 dreams stood out. They were weird in that the backdrop of the dream was different but the incident was somewhat similar. Both dreams had a baby / toddler falling and rolling down a steep curvy road.

In the first dream, there was a toddler and he fell and tumbled down the slope. I chased and tried to catch the toddler but couldn't do so and he tumbled and rolled down without control. I vaguely recalled the toddler surviving the roll. 

In the second dream, it was a baby, probably not more than a couple of months old. I couldn't recall the start of the dream but I knew the baby fell and tumbled down a curved road. I tried to grab the baby when it fell but missed it. It then tumbled non-stop as I chased. I eventually caught up with it and picked it up. By then, it was totally limp and lifeless. The baby had died. It looked like the picture about but it’s head was totally red. The dream ended there… 

These were just two of the many dreams I had last night. Weird weird and nasty weird right?

The commonly discussed process:

- etc

The less discussed items:

- review life stage vs marketability

Job changes has implications on life and vice versa, especially so for mature persons like me…

6th Anniversary

Today 16 Nov marked the 6th anniversary of my mum's passing. Took leave to pay respects to her at the columbarium. Time flies but the scene of the last breath remains fresh in my head.
