Look at the timestamp. 5.34AM. I woke up because of a dream. And because it's so rare that I get woken up by a dream (which was not a nightmare), and even rarer that I remember the dream in so much details that I just gotta get up and blog about it.
-------------------------
It started out with a huge photocopier machine. A bit longer than my height in length and a bit below my waist level in height. And I was some staff in some chinese newspaper agency. Then I was supposed to photocopy something..into a very huge number of copies. The photocopier was very special. You know the glass where there's scanner below. You just got to place the original copy on top, and new copies will come out and slide onto the glass next to the original copy. IN a neat stack. Not physically possible in reality, but it happened in the dream. Then there was this coworker who's some kind of competitor, who keeps trying to snatch photocopying time away from me. Then the boss behaves in a super weird manner, and insists that all employees must subscribe to the newspaper.
And later on, 3 of my coworkers of my group came to talk to me. Somehow, the scene changed without us even walking to the lounge and a place similar to the mini canteen appeared, and we were at a silver table. And the newspaper was there along with cups of tea and coffee. I expected to see lian he zao bao but on it was some weird never heard before name of a newspaper..can't remember now..something zao bao. and the colour scheme was blue. like blue bars that kinda thing. The leader of the group asked me whether i was rookie..i replied yea. And then she mentioned something about newspapers locked up in one of the toilets and she'll bring one to me secretly. And another coworker mention that no, the newspapers changed location, it's in another toilet now. then something about her finding out the location change coz she tried going home...and just stop there, and then they giggled.
And the scene changed again suddenly, and i'm back home. although the scene didn't look like my home at all...more like my previous home, though i'm not very sure whether it's exactly my previous home. And I knew I was an working adult. Not a kid.
Anyway, when i got back, i couldn't find my mother. went into all the rooms and couldn't find her. Then I found my dad. And he mentioned something about he couldn't find her and looked very worried. And then he fell asleep.
Then I went into a room that strangely I've never been into before and there I saw a barb wired figure which looks similar to what we did back in rg for art. i saw the figure sleeping on the bed and I knew it was my mum (and somehow i knew she was sick and that's why she's sleeping), and beside her was my dad in specs, yet i thought of him as my grandpa. yet i didn't feel any surprise or anything, just felt relieved that i found my mum.
then my grandpa (who's in the image of my dad) asked where's dad. And I replied sleeping. He asked me to wake dad up and so I went back to dad's room and tried waking him up. I said I found mum and expected him to be very happy. But he didn't wake up like he never heard me. So I went back and told my 'grandpa' that he won't wake up.
'Grandpa' got angry and told me to try again and that he wants to speak with dad. So I went back and try again, and still dad didn't stir. Then I realised I've been thinking the words inside and haven't actually opened my mouth. I shook him awake and told him again. He looked at me bewildered and I even used hand gestures to show that i'm shouting. And he was like speak up. And I was like I am! Then he was like you are not, or else I'm deaf. Then I realised another time round I haven't actually made a sound. Just gaping. I was thinking of the words inside me again.
Then mum came in...only this time back in the human form. Dad looked pissed that I ruined his relationship with grandpa. And mum reassured him.....then i woke up.

Strange strange dream. First time ever I dreamt of my parents too...in such a weird setting. Hmm..alright. Too late to go back to sleep...haha. Encounter camp!
