loosing track of time & space.


.



























.
I can't remember when and where this happened, but I once dreamt that there was no such thing as "lemon tea" when I was in HK, which, in itself already makes this dream a nightmare.

Lemon tea was one of my favorite drinks when I was a child. Being able to order it at resturants and tea-resturants was as normal as the existense of air and water. But when I first moved to Taiwan and Beijing, neither of these places had ever heard of lemon tea, so when ever you would want lemon tea, what you would do would be to order tea, lemon and sugar/syrup.. and then proceed to make your own.
.

ah. random memories while you procrastinate on a sunny afternoon while your sitting inside drwaing diagram whilst the sun shines brightly outside. I still cannot decide till this day whether having to work on a sunny day (when you want to be outside instead) or a rainy day (when you are negativly affected by the weather) is worst.

2009 memorable dream X | May 26

depth of time exists in dreams. it's existence amazed me to no end.

memories, there were even the forgotten and then recalled memory.
recalling a forgotten memory that does not exist in true life.
a series of memories that are so close to reality, but not, memories that happened through a period of time.

i dreamt a nightmare last night. a real emotional downfall, that i do not know how to face.
but life will go on, because as real as it seemed, dreams are not reality.



p.s. although i do recall in some odd part of it, i was conducting excursions to wonderfully designed swimming pools (as a continuation of a distant dream that I did have a while ago)
& also, i recieved an acceptance to Fosters (??)

2009 memorable dream IX | April 14

i had a nightmare in my dream, where a lady entered my dreams and was trying to steal them from me, trapped, i was hypnotized untill i would agreed to sell it to her for an unreasaonble price. it was very uncomfortable, and i felt very much like i was invaded, when i finally realized what was going on, i fought for my own conciousness, and forcefully woke myself up in my dream.

the rest of the dream continued to be uneasy, nothing seemed out of the ordinary except for everything was cast with a grey gloom. and something just didn't feel right.

2009 memorable dream VII | April 03

the basement adventure.

i'm visiting somewhere from somewhere. my god-mother's house on a sea-side cliff, at the bottom of the cliff, access through the "harbour road" (no, she does not in reality own a house on a sea-side cliff).

yet somehow the interior typology is that of sunny life 1 except for an additional door in the garage that lead to the "basement".

Maritis their long-time housekeeper was around, with two additional members on the staff, both ..... non-human, if i remember correctly, one was a robot maid, and the other was a zombie. so we were all playing, the kids... and then somehow, we had decided we would go explore the basement. the funny thing is... non of the kids enter, the two non-human staff went instead, claiming that we were mortal, and therefore more dangerous for us to partake in the adventure, and that they would go instead of us, and report back their discoveries when they come back.

i wasn't exactly happy about it, but... somehow i didn't have a chocie, so we sat around the door and waited (i think i wasnt my current age during this dream, because i considered myself a kid the whole time. or maybe i'm just a kid anyways... :P) .... and waited, and up till the moment i woke up in the morning, nothing else happened.

waiting drifted off into half sleep when you're about to wake up yet still sleeping, you know, the sensation that you are aware of your surroundings, but not entirly awake. like when your brain is lucid, but your body is not....





1
"sunny life" is the name of the complex we lived at in Taiwan, when i was in middle school.
rows of town houses are paired off, two rows share a half-level elevated garden walkway as their "front door". and then on the back side of it, you share a driveway with the row on your other side, half a level below your front door. This creates a typology where your garage sits right beside, but half a level below your living room, and your kitchen/living room half a level above and thus, overlooking your living room. different parts of this complex constantly appear in my dreams in bits and pieces... reaons may be because I had most of my childhood fun here, and had also thought it was quite a nice typology.

2009 memorable dream VI | March 29

a murder mystery


male-A wakes up in bed, sees blood on the bed, it is female-A's but her body is no where to be seen, before he has time to react, hears a scream upstairs, a body is discovered 2 floors above. grandma calmly directs everyone to do what they should do.

murderer's p.o.v (time shifts back a little to before the sun rises)

slit's someone's throat in room A, ...

girl's p.o.v (time shifts back to match that of the initial sequence)

i rush up to the 1st floor and open room A, man-A is sitting up in bed in shock with blood on his hands, but he looks as if he just woke up.

murderer's p.o.v (time shifts back a little to before the sun rises)

...heads up the stairs to kill maid in 3rd floor room but accidentally knocks over glass of water, maid is groggy so does not react, kills maid without further delay.

girl's p.o.v (time shifts back to match that of the initial sequence)

keep running up the stairs to the 2nd floor to pass grandma's room, and up to the 3rd floor to see the body of the maid lying strangled in bed. screams.

murderer's p.o.v (time shifts back a little to before the sun rises)

heads back to room A to hide body under blanket being hung dry on the balcony (look! i even rationally explained to myself why there was no body on the bed... )

[somehow these two sequences happen at the same time, words are not sufficient to describe that sensation... but i was able to distingusih between the two due to the quality of light... murderer's p.o.v was a pre-dusk grey, and the girl's p.o.v. was brightly lit]

intial p.o.v

grandma sends everyone into the back of the 1st floor room.

[story shifts]

top of some mountain... oh everyone has snowboards, and i am in snowboarding gear, guess we are snowboarding, but i have no board, so dad heads back in with me to rent a board. i think they were those foam boards you sometimes find at waterparks instead though, but that was a "snowboard" in the dream, so there were no problems. went down the hill once (but no memory of it) lost the rest of the crew, so returned to the rental place which was located at the top of the mountain while our exit was at the bottom... !?!...

[dream continues to get rather confusing... and i wake up]

2009 memorable dream V | March 25

my family went on a trip, leaving me behind.

i stayed in a 5 story humongous house (but it was a building, not a mansion or a house shaped building)... deja vu, this building has appeared in previous dreams before.

i saw (through a window) my cousin get gunned down by teorrists in the opposite building, but somehow i made no reaction what so ever to that event, as if i thought it was some sort of joke, or some acting for her project or something.

there were cats in the building, automatic light/security sensor system in the building, things turned on and off as i walked around, or it reacted as well to the cats.... i've definitly been in this building before.

the scene changed and we were in an old shanghai movie set.... sitting in the front hallway of a four court house. the children were rushing about, getting ready to go fly kites somewhere.... i say it's an old because everything appeared in a yellowish brown shade, like an old photograph.
and i say it's a movie set because everyone was wearing the appropriate clothing for (supposingly) that time period....

wtf?

2009 memorable dream IV | March 24

a log cabin, a double bed, on an island close to actual land.... we bike everywhere, party everynight, we have the ability to ominous, to view the island in birds-eye view, so that we can find the place of gathering everynight. creatures exist in this world that is not in the other. we dance around a bon-fire.... letting go of ourselves... drink beer on our porch as we watch the sun-set. I fall sleep there and I wake-up here, only to watch the glow of street lights fade and sunlight take over through the curtains on my window.

2009 memorable dream II | March 10

We are blocked by a wall of glass, like the Berlin wall, neither of us can reach the other, but the difference is we can SEE each other. we can see eachother, but we can't touch each other.... It is like this everyday. I come by everyday to see you, we have some conversation and I come back the next day. I seem to be able to bring you things.... and give them to you... but I can't touch you, nor you me. And then one day the glass had dissapeared, but i do not notice that it is gone, until i try to put my hand against the glass, and then I am shocked, where did this pane of glass go? all the rest is still there... so i climb through the threshold and you hold me in your arms, but I am fat! rediculously fat and fatter still, why did I notice before? and this feeling of fatness was so real that i awoke momentarily...

we are in a store on a street of a row of stores, i never see it, but i know where we are, it is the same street that comes up again in the rest of the completly different dream.

[this portion of the dream disturbed me, but i cannot tell why.]

An underground indoor ski hill, layers after layers of slopes, entrances to each slope like that of a water park, through a series of stairs that have moments which opens up to view parts of the slope, though these view of slopes are not necessarily the ones that you will be on.

I climbed to the top of one, only to find that this one had not yet been layed with snow. I take the exit stairway back down, at some point the stair breaks through the surface of water, glass tube around the stairway like that you experience in an aquarium informs me of this "break-through".

something important is happening all this while, but i can't remember what it is. I'm here with a group of people, and we know what's going on, but now that i try to re-tell the story, I can no longer remember. like I was on some sort of secret mission in my dream, but i can no longer remember.

I break through the water (in the other direction), the stairs reaches the "ground" floor (although since i've passed the water-line, I should be under water (but this is a dream, it's ok if it doesn't make sense). I try to round the corner to keep going down the flight of stiars I've been going down, but the stairs stop here, and instead, it turns into a sewer where water is continousily running down step like things that is breaking the speed of the water.

I look around at the "ground" floor, and find myself in a theme park, ski hills in some locations, a normal theme park in others, with rides, with those booths, and a street of random stores (this is the street!! the previously mentioned street!!)....

I enter some arcade, and some group of people is sitting there, like some ganster gang (what??). and my friend is amongst them, and I belong to these group of people as well.... (what????).

and then all of a sudden the dream changes, I'm opening a door into an apartment. A mixture of my ex-collegues are there, visiting this apartment.... they were having some sort of conversation right before i entered, somehow it related to me, but i cannot tell what exactly they were talking about. An old friend was there, one I hadn't seen in a while, he had returned to denmark earlier in the summer, I was suppose to get in touch with him when I was in Amsterdam, but i had already forgotten (funny how you remind yourself of things in your dreams). but i am excited to see him, I tell him I am in amsterdam now! and that we should meet up!! I don't knwo why, but i can sense that he is extremly angry at me, but we set up to meet up later that night anyway. I ask you if you knew why he was angry, but you just shrug it off and then everyone dissapears.

I am in a mall... an incredibly lenghty mall, and I have no idea what I'm doing here. Until the twins run by, chasing each other. I stand in shock as they run by giggling like little children. They don't notice me the first time, but as they ran off and returned again momentarily, the see me this time, and before I know it, I am part of the chase! but I am not enjoying it. I find places to hide as they run by and then I find a better hiding place. I reach the end of this mall and notice..... Oh~ this is the mall that appeared in one of my other dreams. that other dream where I was investigating a death (!?... but that is another dream, a story for another time)

It is night time, I am hanging out with the friend I hadn't seen in a while, he is still obviously angry at me, I still cannot tell why... We finished dinner and walked back to that street of stores, and we entered your store as you and your mom was locking up. You guys were in a hurry, so we locked up for you instead. My friend, i think, worked at this store before he left a long time ago. So he know what he had to do to lock up the store. As the gates came down for the store front... a snake appeared.

A snake appeared, and then a moment later, it was a lizard, it crawled along the front of the store and then re-entered the back through the other side of the store. This is when we noticed that there were tracks on the ground, and then we heard the clock strike twelve!... the whole store front turned into those clock face display, but human size, there was a witch, some unicorns.... a blur of stuff happens... different scens as the scenary changes, rotates behind the store front for different settings.... my friend is no longer the friend I was hanging out with, it became someone else, i don't know who she is, but in my dream, she is also my friend. "shh, don't tell her (the store-owner) i did this"... and then she proceeds to swing the minute arm of the clock around till it stroke twelve again.

the clock stroke twelve and the lizard crawled through again, except this time, the display was not merely one of the stores on this street of stores. the store front dissapeared and we were looking at a merry-go-round-like contraption. the scenes changed from one to another, and people started gathering in front. children mostly. everyone was enjoying it. I smiled at my friend and the dream faded away.

我啊。。。然后我朋友来看我了,我们去玩,然后就在一连串的地铁层次中迷路了
然后我坐飞机,飞机在日本的一间大屋的后院降落了,本来是在那里转机的(只有我是,其他人都在这里下),但是后来的飞机没有到,我就得在那边呆一会。。。然后那个大屋竟然只是个样板间!!。。。哈哈哈哈


哈哈哈哈,绕回自己本行啦哈哈哈


然后我就觉得很别扭,然后就在浴缸睡觉。。。呵呵呵 我就只记得这么多。。。很多东西都有连贯的感觉,但是有不知道是什么关系。。。只是最后都不会把所有事情解释清楚。。。我的梦就只遗留在混乱阶段。


恩哈哈哈,那个叫意识流


我去查看什么是意识流, 然后其中一段说到 认为时间是没有前后而是同时发生着的, 让我想起前阵子看的那本书,叫“the time traveller's wife”, 我查查有没有中文简介: 找到!!
