Had a bad dream last night. Not necessarily a nightmare, only one bad, unpleasant dream. In this dream, I took a walk in a mall with nothing particular in mind. And out of nowhere he appeared. Bono Vox, Mr. Paul Hewson of U2 himself. It was only a dream, but I remember clearly the thrill as he walked past in front of me. The sensation was so real, the excitement intense.
It was a chance in a life time and I dare myself to greet him. He smiled to me. It was THE moment of my life. He’s one friendly guy, and we conversed about almost anything. Then obviously I asked him to have his picture with me. He didn’t mind, but I had no camera with me. Okay, I would borrow someone else’s. But strange enough, I couldn’t find anyone around who had a camera.
“You’re lying, you must have a camera with you. Let me see your hand phone”, I shout to one guy as I lost my patience after went around for quite sometimes. Then he showed me his hand phone and it’s true it was the K800i from Sony Ericsson, but without a camera! As Bono patiently waited there to be photographed, I frantically continue asked each one in that mall whether they have a camera. And there were none.
And then I woke up, sweated profoundly despite the air conditioned room. What a horrible dream! It was still 3.00 in the morning so I got back to sleep immediately. In the morning as I drove to the office I gave deep thought about that dream. I believe that most of our dreams have roots in our sub consciousness. And I finally came out with a hypothesis that the dream represents my anxiety that I have actually thrown out an opportunity of a life time. Let me explain:
(1) Bono in Indonesia represents a small chance which can be exploited (being friendly, willing to be photographed).
(2) Nobody with a camera depicts a frustrating situation where that great opportunity can’t be exploited due to the situation.
In reality that can be, I don’t really know--don’t remember to be precise--that I have given a serious thought about “throwing out an opportunity”. After all it’s a sub conscious thought. The point is, I think given enough time to contemplate and little imagination, you can see through your sub conscious world from your dreams. With that, you’ll know the source of your anxiety and deal with it.
So then, I hope you have a meaningful dream tonight.
