connecting the dots

Been having weird dreams the past two weeks... weird mis mashed scenes with even weirder storylines... sorta remind me of the movie Paprika where many dreams were merged into one. It was even stranger to dream of people I'm hardly even close to or keeping in touch with, only to have them coincidentally emerging in my reality the next day, be it in conversations or situations.

Yesterday, the dream I had was relatively straightforward... well compared to the mis mashed ones, of course.

In the dream, I was lying in bed, reading a rather thick, old book. Was turning the last page of the preface when a familiar name caught my eye. I knew the name wasn't the author's nor had it any relevance to the book. And I don't know why but I felt positive that it was a clue that would lead me to something.

I closed the book, bent it into a curve and let the pages flip. I did this a few times, from cover to back and back to cover. True enough, a signature fell out from the spine. Apparently those bound few sheets of pages were foreign to the book, but had somehow been 'attached' to the spine to give the impression that they belonged.

I held it in my hands and stared at the first page. There it was, that name again printed on a paper that has aged and turned brown. I turned the pages one by one, my vision simply absorbing the printed words that seemed to flow endlessly. There were also a few coloured photos of tall buildings and blue, blue skies.

It seemed like I was reading a journal cos I found myself inducted in thoughts, revelations, reflections and visions - I didn't actually read them, but I could feel them, I just knew.

And I can't remember how the dream ended, but it just did.

Dreams don't necessarily mean a thing.
But sometimes they do...
Sometimes they may be clues or hints
of what's to come
But you wouldn't know it then

At least not until something happens after that to make you realise a link.

And just a while ago
I connected the dots to my dream.

:O)
