I read somewhere that pregnant women tend to have vivid dreams, especially so when it’s a multiple pregnancy. It may be a sign of anxiety, or maybe your mind is subconsciously trying to tell you something. I found this to be very true. I remember having vivid dreams almost every night during my earlier stage of pregnancy. Unfortunately, it didn’t occur to me then how interesting it would be to keep a ‘dream journal’ – just something to have to look back on, if not for some kind of psychological analysis purposes. The frequency of the dreams have dwindled a little now, but I do still get some weird dreams every once in a while.
Last night, I was at my parents’ house with Ally and my maid, only the house was not their current house, it felt like the house I grew up in. It looked very different somehow, but I just knew that it was my parents’ house where I grew up in. There were a lot of people, relatives and siblings with their offsprings, but looking back, I didn’t recognize any of them. I wanted to leave but Ally seems too happy playing with her cousins, so I decided to let her stay. So I told my maid that I’m just going to run home for a while (which was, apparently, just a few houses away) to get her clothes and some supplies. And I left, driving my car.
Suddenly I was driving on a big highway, but it was dark and there weren’t any other cars. I was lost and didn’t know where to go. I kept on driving, trying to find my way back to my house. And then, all of a sudden I was no longer in my car. I was in a dark alley somewhere – it looked something like an underground station. There were some other people around, all men, seemingly in a rush to get somewhere. I walked down the alley, going the same way as them, then I saw a wide flight of stairs. I went down the stairs, slowly at first. Then I felt like I was being followed, so I quickened my steps and almost fell. And I remember thinking that I must get to Subang Parade immediately, someone was waiting for me, and I was running late. I think it was my mother and my sister, I can’t remember exactly now, but it was definitely some family members.
I was still lost and had no idea where I was. I kept on walking, and I eventually came out to a busy road, with taxi stands and bus stands on the side. I still didn’t know where I was. I looked around, and finally saw a familiar building – the Dayabumi. I remember feeling relieved, then decided to take a cab to Subang Parade. However, none of the cab drivers would take me. Apparently, Subang Parade was very, very far away from there. One of the cab drivers (a chubby, manly woman) told me that the only way I could get there was by bus. I told her I didn’t know how to take a bus, so she went on and explained the route I should take – the bus number, where I should get down and change to a different bus, etc etc. It was all so confusing to me, and I started to get desperate. I begged her to take me to Subang Parade, or as far as she can take me – I thought I will then take it from there. She refused. An elderly, malay cab driver overheard my desperation and offered to take me (he was the first one I asked in the first place). I was so happy with the offer, so I quickly got into his cab. Then I asked him where he would drop me. I thought he was only taking me as near as he could to Subang Parade, but then he said he’ll take me all the way. I finally gave out a sigh of relief and leaned back, closing my eyes, while he drove on.
