Now, that is a strange way to start this post with such a seemingly inconsequential occurance. But the consequences was so strange that I need to rant about it.
Before I go on, a note on my sleep habits: I am an avid dreamer. Everytime I fall asleep (anywhere and no matter the length of my slumber), I dream. I don't usually remember my dreams except that few seconds when I just arouse. An exception to this is if I am abruptly awoken, then it stays in my head the entire day. Like now.
I am also an ultra sensitive dreamer and my dreams are always about or connected to things that I think about or did right before I sleep. So far most nights I would be busy getting up and going to work in my dreams and when I awake in the morning, I have to repeat it all over again in reality.
So...
Last night, I decided to finish off the last of my korean drama series before I sleep. This is an unusually BAD idea considering (i) nature of such series endings (ii) my sleep habit described above, and (iii) the aircon breakdown. Here's why:
The ending goes: Girl suddenly contracted terminal disease and ran off to die in a deserted snowy part of the mountain. Boy who has long lost touch with her (for too many reasons) was notified of her disappearance. Boy of course instinctively knew where to find her at which remote corner of the mountain. They froze to DEATH in a loving embrace, not before they profess undying love in their coma.*
And with that kinda ending, I fell asleep.
And probably not long after, my aircon crashed due to faulty circuit.
In my dreams, I was suddenly thrown into a burning vent and was suffocating to death. I was gasping for air in the heat when I awoke - and realise that I was dying of heat cos I was stuck under my covers and the aircon has gone out.
I stumbled out of bed, grumpy and crumpled. I roared my unhappiness and went off to the kitchen to fix the main switch. Air con is back. Crawled back to bed.
The next thing I know, I was in this lush green forest. I was with another human being. The reason why I say human is cos there are other non-human around. Indistinctive shapes and unrecognisable. Oh well, so I walked around with this person when he turned to me suddenly and said, "Let's go die together". And of course it sounded an absolutely brilliant idea that moment. I looked at him and nodded my approval.
And so we threw ourselves into a lion's den.
There were two (almost comical looking) lions in the den who was jiggying about to a familiar tune (And yes last night, a cheesy friend was reminding me about Will Smith's 'hit single' - Get Jiggy With It). The lions stopped jiggying for a second when we so abruptly threw ourselves at their paws. One looked at me and obligatory roared. It came closer and closer. I huddled my body and close my eyes waiting for that inevitable ending. Just as I thought the end is near, the lion stopped its irritating roaring and compasionately offered me a candy.
Errr....??
Now, I don't have a sweeth tooth, even in my dreams. But I do have manners and I politely refused and wishing that the lion would just eat me and let me die. I only realised that this estranged pause was necessary in the plot because at that point, the other human turned to me and starting professing his ....
And the aircon turned off again.
And I awake.
DAMN!
* When I told a good friend of mine the ending this morning, she told me (from her vast experience at korean drama series) that had they copulated and is expecting a kid, a polar bear or someone will appear from nowhere and save them from dying. Oh well...
