i was swimming topless.
topless, in an infinity pool in a vacation house in mexico that apparently, one of my very close friends owns.

the moment i realized i was topless, i knew right away that i was dreaming. if i didn’t realize it that early, having a friend who owns a vacation house with an infinity pool, in mexico, will surely wake me up.

anyway, when we all decided to call it a day, while drying up, i had that eerie feeling about my wallet. when i opened it, i found out that all my cards were missing. licenses, credit cards, and about 20 dollars cash. as if overcome by guilt, the person who stole from my wallet left my wedding and family picture. oh. how thoughtful of him/her.

when it was getting too stressful calling people about the missing cards, i willed myself to wake up. and i did.

one of the nurses at work lost a lot of weight. the kind that looked scary. when people asked me if i knew why, i was surprised why i know. i told them he has cancer and have been undergoing chemotherapy for a while now.

everybody breathed a sigh of sympathy. i was curious why they showed me the same look of feeling sorry, but i shrugged it off as something weird, but no big deal.

after work, i was surprised that he was waiting for me at the door. when he said “let’s go”, although puzzled, i silently followed.

we were alone inside the elevator and he put his arm around me. that shocked me to the point of being speechless. but then it became even weirder.

he started being really intimate. physically. really intimate. in the elevator!

it was getting too uncomfortable and icky, i willed myself to wake up. and i  did.

everybody can do this, right? realize in a dream that they are dreaming and just will themselves to wake up? i wish i can claim this as my special talent, but i know better. dare to share your own experiences with weird dreams and how you willed yourself to wake up?

also, it would be interesting to hear the dream interpreters’ take on my crazy little rendezvous with my unusual self in my unusual dreams this past couple of days.

please don’t tell me i have repressed sexual fantasies about my coworker and have unconscious desire to swim in an infinity pool owned by a mexican lover. please.  :)

come on,
you already know i will deny it.
you don’t?
well, for the record,
i will deny it.
