it’s been a while since i got a strange dream, and today that period of ‘boredom’ might seems ending, for i got a rather curious dream just an hour ago:
i was in a a shopping centre in a city or town called palembang [a real indonesian city in real life, but i've never been there, i just knew i was there]. one of the patrons there was an exotic looking middle aged lady in her 40s. she was walking around like normal, but singing a familiar song, i think it was ‘indonesia tanah air beta’, one of indonesian national songs in a foreign language. in my dream, i got a hunch that she was singing in tagalog, for i managed to catch one or two familiar words. (i’ve completely forgotten that i was in palembang, which could be one of the dialects there that i’ve never known.)
exitting the shopping complex, i tried to find my way back to hotel or airport, but the sceneries changed from a developed area into an abandoned big road. it was certainly big enough to be consider a four lane road, but deserted, with lots of abandoned buildings on one side of the road, and unattended field on the other.
ever since i left the shopping centre, i heard occasional yelling behind me, maybe trying to stop me. i ignored them, not only because i didn’t understand them, but also because i’ve got a feeling that i have to get out of there quickly.
walking with the sun on my back, i can see my own shadow in front of me. and also a shadow of someone behind me, with a stick on his hand aiming at my head. i turned around and the would-be attacker ceased his move, and being caught red handed, he shied away and cross the road, where his other four or five mates jeering at him.
after finished teasing the failed assailant, each of them produced a metal or wooden bar, and started to attack me, while someone told me (from where?) that should i lost and be captured, i’d be sold as a slave and my wallet (which i somehow remembered to contain several gems and lots of us dollars) will be confiscated.
it was a rather challenging (or hopeless?) fight, five men armed with melee weapons versus one unarmed man. and the dream ended just before i got too excited with the fight.
* since the dream occured between 9 to 9.30am, i think there isn’t any significant meaning behind. it might be caused by the temperature drop, it’s now rather cool after two freaking hot days. although i might want to be wary of the keywords/key elements in the abovementioned scenario.
