Dream On

I've been waking up really tired the last few days, if that even makes sense. I've been having really tiring dreams. Usually it involves running and chasing, well, being chased. 

I need to keep a notebook next to me so I can write down my dreams. I don't have recurring dreams. But I have recurring themes. Like, I'd run or fly or jump a certain way with a certain feeling. And now that I think about it, half the time I'm usually being chased. The other times, I'm meeting "a love of my life" and there's never a face.

Well anyway, since I woke up barely 10 minutes ago, I figure I'd try to decode my dream.

My dream is already starting to get skewed because I spent some time trying to find the meanings of the symbolism of my dream. The story, basically, is that I was attending my high school reunion and I was with my friend Iciang, and I happened to look across the gymnasium and saw an old classmate Dlan. I kept pointing him out to Iciang because she couldn't see him and after a few minutes, Dlan walked up to us. Then we all went out to somewhere, I think to eat, but I'm not sure anymore. Then suddenly, I was being chased by  this big fat dirty slob man with a revolver, because I was chasing a little girl in a white girly dress. She was using a rope to scale walls and trees, while I was climbing the shit out of them. At one point I ended up in somebody's living room and the guy was still on my tail. I was circling the living room, then I saw a fluttering curtain which meant an open window. I ran to that side of the room and parted the curtain to see a window that swivels in the middle, but I still manage to slide out. The guy was still shooting at me and at this point I managed to lose the girl. I found myself in the middle of this tree farm and the bad guy had a group of 2 guys and one lady and they were chasing me. I ended up running towards the opposite way of where the girl was supposed to be.When I realized it, I started climbing trees and jumping from one to another to find her. I finally go to her then I told her to give me the rope and I tied one end on her waist and the other on mine, so I don't lose her again. The guy caught up to us but he managed to lose his revolver and I ended up catching it. First I threatened to shoot him, and when he won't stop charging at us, I aimed the gun at his fat thigh and shot him, but the revolver was empty. Then I don't know how but I found gardening scissors and I threw one to the little girl and we were trying to stab the guy.... AND THEN I WOKE UP.

Of course, to me personally, this makes a whole lot of sense. The everybody else, they just got a glimpse of a part of me.. or the biggest part of me. I don't know but I'm tired.
