Strange Dreams

Dream #1:
YH and I were sitting on the bench at the canal together. We were reunited, and so were updating each other about little tidbits in our lives.

His mother was still alive, and I told him that I missed her and was glad to hear that. Then I got a text message from QL, which made me laugh. YH asked about it, and I showed him the message, telling him why it was funny and who QL was.

YH's attitude suddenly got a little cold. I had been leaning on his arm before, but then he got up and shook me off, saying that he had to go somewhere.

I stood up too, but just watched him as he was leaving because I didn't know what to say... and then I felt so bad that I started crying even though I knew it was pathetic, and I told him not to go. I said that he had gotten the wrong idea, that QL was not as important as he was to me, but that made him so angry that he actually came back just to confront me.

It was scary because it was the first time I had ever kissed someone in my dreams... and also because he was asking me so many questions about QL that when I woke up, I later wondered if I actually did like him. Even though I'm pretty sure I don't.

Dream #2:
MS, Dragon, Jelly, and I were having a sleepover. For some odd reason, MS brought her pet crab and it got lost somewhere. So we all rummaged through the room, trying to find it.

I finally started clearing out the space underneath the bed, and then I found an ugly blue thing with no legs. MS squealed, grabbed it, and started washing it in the bathroom. When she came back, the crab was now red, as if it was cooked, but still had no legs.

She then started blaming me, saying it was my fault that the crab was electrified by an outlet... Dragon was on my side, but Jelly was with MS, and we all got into a fight over it, yelling at each other.

These two were both unpleasant dreams...

So terribly sad

Last night was one of the toughest nights ever. My Chemistry project... UGH. I only managed to do about three-quarters, and it was midnight.

Around that time, I was just drifting away, convinced that I should give up. I didn't want to do it anymore, I was sick of it, I'd rather just fail. Haha, super melodramatic. Anyway, I fell asleep at my computer and had a little dream...

YH and I were laying in bed together (very innocently though!). We were just facing each other and talking.

Me: "I'm feeling so hopeless and tired... Gege, I can't seem to do anything right. We didn't get all I's in Orchestra UIL, I am no longer even one of the top chairs, I had to skip so many tennis tournaments and practices for orchestra too, I'm afraid I will be kicked out of Top Ten if I let my guard down even for a minute, I feel uncertain in my English... and I can't even finish up my Chemistry project on time, on top of everything. 对不起，让你很失望吧……"

He was very patient and kind. I was trembling and about to cry, and he just laid a hand on my cheek and told me that he was never disappointed in me. He said that I was amazing and outstanding and he couldn't understand how I did it all... He began listing out all my accomplishments and achievements and made me feel proud again, and I was remembering everything...

Then I woke up, and it was 4 o'clock in the morning. I began to work again, and finished up all the mechanisms.

I really do believe that this dream was sent to me by Guanyin. That, probably combined with an unusually high intake of sugar last night... haha. But because of it, I managed to do everything by the time it was all due.

I was in such a good mood today, at school, haha. I guess I still am, but a bit of sadness is mixed in too now... He was fading away from me, and I couldn't say a thing, not even a "thank you".

Streets Paved With Gold

I was walking down the streets of Hong Kong, and money began to fall from the sky... I caught as much as I could, stuffing them in my pockets, in my shirt, in my shoes, and even trying to EAT them.

Then I began dancing around happily, and nobody was looking at me like I was crazy or anything... They just kept passing by without even a second glance, and they were all ignoring the money too.

In the middle of my celebration, I accidentally stumbled and fell back on somebody. YH pushed me back lightly, grabbed some of the money out of my hand, and began laughing.

He said, "How could an old granny like you be so happy about something as petty as money?" because he used to always tease me about acting old. And then he took my hand and said, "Let's spend all of it."

At first, I refused to go with him because I didn't want to let go of the money after having just caught it... but after a few more minutes of coercing and persuasion, I suddenly thought, "What the hell," and we both ran down the street, laughing.

It was a lot of fun. We went to buy clothes, CDs, DVDs, and books... Just a lot of material things.

At the very end, he took me to an area far from the city, where we kneeled down and began praying at the altar. Only he was praying though; I was really giddy and excited and couldn't stop giggling, which made him get really impatient at me.

Then I threw the remaining money at Amitabha Buddha and declared, "There! You can take it all! I left nothing for myself!"

YH was really pleased at this, and he kissed me on the forehead. I was crying though... not about giving the money away - I don't mind that so much, but about something else, I think...

Anyway, it was all just a really weird dream. But it was nice too, I had a lot of fun in it, even if some of the details are a little vague and blurry... I feel like I could write a poem or short story inspired by it...
