i dreamed the same dream twice this morning… before waking up.
we were touring… and the only thing I could remember from that tour was the 7 mice on fly paper that didn’t look like mice. they looked like wooden sculptures and donuts… >_> because it looked glazed but only on top. I took a picture of it.. but the camera wouldn’t work… and then the scene was different.
we were then at a public swimming pool… and there were no lockers or anything decent to keep our stuff in, but we could keep our precious belongings in glass jars… like jars of mayonnaise. They came in different sizes and … conditions.
Some were perfectly fine, some had craks, some were really broken but miraculously taed together, some were really small, some were really big.
The jars were located rght beside the pool and they get wet.
i remember seeing some people from my high school even if they have never my classmates. Some I don’t really know…. In fact, there wasn’t really ANYONE I really knew.
What I had with me that I wanted to put in a jar was my watch, my steel bracelet (The one with MISAN), and the digital camera….
I tried out all available jars… The only jars in perfectly good condition were too small for the camera, and the only ones that could fit the camera were just taped together. I kept trying and trying…. and while trying out everything, i kept looking at the pool longingly… and … None would satisfy me… and it was almost time to go when I decided to just put the camera in a big jar with the least cracks and put my watch and bracelet in a small jar in good condition… I got in the water… and just stayed at the side since I couldn’t really swim. In a few minutes it was time to go.
——————–
I woke up really bothered. dreams that stay in my mind even when I wake up usually mean something for me…….. and this one stayed.
what could it mean… Of course I’ve got some ideas of my own.
the mice… my thoughts on this is.. that maybe I like turning useless things or possessions or .. captives… into something beautiful? or i find beauty in these things… in … “refuse” .. in unwanted things… in trash. i was born in the year of the rat.
the people..
Maybe I may be surrounded by people and close to them but I don’t really know them.
the jar and the precious items…
the first thing that came into my mind is this: “What is the meaning of my life?”
What things do I really think of as precious, how tightly do I cling on to them, and how precious are they actually to me. Is it time? Is it having fun? is it beauty? Is it something that I worked for? Do I waste my time on at first seemingly important things and then run out of time to have fun? or would it be something like spending so much time on something I know I wouldn’t like or have use for anyway? How strongly do I hold on to them? The foundations… It’s confusing, at the same time enlightening. Am I spending too much time on deciding which is actually important to me?
I would like to think that the camera would represent memories. The watch as time, The bracelet as something I’ve worked for or work itself. And the swimming time as my idea of fun, I guess. The selection of glass jars… how much I treasure them… and the glass jars itself as how important they are to me….
It’s like … “what do I really want to do? where do I really want to go to? where do I really want to be?”
orz
I don’t know… it’s just confusing. and bothering. I’m frustrated and sad.
I’m fucking depressed. I just don’t seem like it. Sometimes I hate myself for acting like I’m fun and happy and smiling and everything when I don’t really want to. I feel guilty at the same time for deceiving people.
Yesterday someone said something so hurtful, and probably true. Although now that I think about it, i should’nt have gotten hurt since it was nothing but destructice criticism. I should only listen to constructive criticism. But anyway, I told to myself I won’t be singing anymore for those groups.. I mean, I won’t record my singing anymore. Matt got the wrong idea though, so iI won’t be singing for him/in front of him anymore….
Heh.. I don’t know how long I’ll last. I know I’ll be singing again, but… not for now.
Ahh… yeah. Somehow I feel it’s connected to my dream. Lol. I cried so hard yesterday … lol.
