Tiger

I had a strange dream last night. I had a pet tiger. Yes, a pet tiger. He was the sweetest pet and followed me around wherever I went. He would come with me when I would travel and would be ferocious at protecting me. 

When I woke up I checked what dreaming of a tiger meant. It means power and strength. Maybe I dreamt about the tiger because I was so inspired by Hidilyn Diaz yesterday. I don't really believe in dream stuff, but I was happy to read about what tigers in dreams mean. It makes me think that the fighter in me is back. Yay! 

Day 28 Gratitude Challenge, Something that brings hope. I've been writing about this the past few days -- Hidilyn Diaz! Did you see all the brand ads who greeted her? It's a great showcase of Filipino wit, go look for it on FB.

Buried Alive in a Dream

Oh my, my subconscious has been going bonkers the last few days. I had another strange dream last night.

This time I was with a few friends and the younger version of a friend's son. We were in a tropical paradise exploring a cave. We were just walking around and we were buried alive! I woke up shortly after that and was baffled about the dream. 

I normally ignore my dreams, but they've been so vivid the last few days. I searched on Google to check what it means to be buried alive especially since it sounds so negative. I read that it's actually a positive dream because it means you have untapped or unexplored talent.

I guess I'm having these dreams because there's several things I'm working on that could potentially make a huge impact on many lives. It's that or maybe it has something to do with the home projects I've been working on. Whatever it is I'm looking forward to discovering what this untapped talent or skill that's lurking within me.

I had the Strangest Dream

I tried to wake up early today, but I was so tired so I went back to sleep after I was woken up by a ringing phone. I've been experiencing strange dreams the last few months. The one I had last night was so vivid and I woke up tired. Here's why... 

The dream started with me visiting a friend's nursery school. I was surprised that she moved to a bigger place. The school looked like a Baguio cabin made of wood. It was spacious and my friend was explaining to me that she was using now the Canadian method of teaching kids. Her school was now huge and parents were calling her the head mistress. That part of the dream wasn't too strange. I have a friend who runs a pre-school and I always thought she could grow it more if she wanted to.

I was wearing this dress in my dream.

The strange thing in my dream is me. I was due to give birth! My tummy was so huge it looked like I was ready to pop any moment. I insisted to visit my friend's school because it was my turn to be a mommy-chaperone. I was hanging out with other pregnant mothers and I was thinking I shouldn't be there especially since I was due already. 

The next moment was me on a stretcher. Sweetie was there together with our favorite Youtubers. They were cheering me on, but I was trying to not give birth yet since I was hoping the baby would come out a few days later. And then I woke up. (I always knew though that the baby would've been a girl). 

When I woke up I immediately searched on Google what the dream meant.  Giving birth in a dream means there's something you've been working on for a long time that's about to come in fruition. Ohhh that made me so nervous because there is something I've been working on for a long time and it looks like it finally bear fruit.

I certainly hope so! What about you? Are you having strange dreams too?

My Soul is Travelling at Night

I read that many people are having very vivid dreams in the last few months. I have not been spared and my dreams are like movies. The genre changes every time I dream - science fiction, drama, comedy, romance, horror, action, rarely comedy though.

The last few nights I have been dreaming about travelling to different places. Italy, Japan, Taiwan, Davao, Cebu, Baguio etc. I zip around from beautiful structures like churches, palaces, tall buildings to mountains forests, lush gardens, lakes and beaches. My attire switch between winter clothes and beach clothes. I've been waking up happy.

It's almost eight months now since I last rode a plane. I know staying home has helped improve my health. My family and friends are also less worried because I'm just home. My best friend told me a few weeks ago he gets antsy whenever I travel. I understand why because the past year I feel anxious too whenever I travel alone.

I still have itchy feet because despite my health conditions I still love travelling. I guess I've been dreaming about the places I've been to because I miss hopping on a plane and landing in a different place. Travelling allowed me to learn about other cultures, gain new friends, understand new business practices, try out new dishes and experience different types of weather. I just took it for granted that I'd always get to travel since it's part of my work.

I wanted 2020 to be the year to explore the world more. I ended up exploring my baking and gardening skills more. I still hope and pray that someday when all of this is over the world will become a safe place again for me to travel. (My travel blog is over at Lakwatsera Ako).

What about you? What have your dreams been like?
