I dreamt again

Had another dream this morning.

I was on a quest. A quest to look for my beloved fiancee. I had no idea why I was on this quest nor did I know where I was. I was at this place which looked alot like Clarke Quay. Colonial era shop houses lines the streets and it's also like an enormous Bugis junction cos the entire place was enclosed.

I got an sms from dear telling me she waiting for me at Kbox. I was feeling like 'okay, Kbox. where's the Kbox here?' I was still feeling ok as the place now feels semi-familiar and I start moving around to search for the Kbox. I remember passing by this huge candy empire shop, did not go in, but somehow its presence there left a mark in my dream.

After wandering around up and down a few escalators and through a few hallways, I ended up at this location. It was where I'm supposed to find the kbox, but it's not. It's a casino, or maye more like a jackpot place. I changed some tokens. I could clearly recall I exchange a dollar for 5 tokens (so cheap rite?!). I came to this machine and put in my first token, I don't remember what I betted on but I won. I won $3 worth of tokens on my first spin! (WOOHOO?!)

At that moment I got another sms from dear asking me where am I. So I left the casino with my tiny windfall and continue my search for the elusive Kbox.

The next thing I could recall was not being able to find the location. I ended up at a cafe and started up my laptop. I guess I would be trying to google for Kbox. a group of ppl started to gather around me and sat down next to me.

"Why are you taking so long?" they said. They looked kindda familiar so I presume they were sent by dear to look for me or help me? Anyway they prove me somewhat right when they went on say "we can give you a clue but you'll have to finish that"

And the waiter appeared with a huge block of steak, 1kg maybe. I think I was expressionless and went on with the challenge. I finished it somehow and was done with it. The guy next to me just told me, the clue is under my laptop.

I flipped it over and found a post-it...

I can't recall what it says as this is when I woke up.. another one of those frustrating dreams where u have no final answer!! arrgghh...

Nightmare of Bukit Timah Rd

Had a really vivid nightmare this morning.

I was travelling in a double decker bus. I was seated on the upper deck of the bus with my dear.

The bus was travelling along Bukit Timah Rd toward Rochor. I was somewhere around the stretch near HSO. The traffic was very heavy, in fact the roads were congested. I was looking out of the window and there were works going on at the HDB flat near Tekka Market. Not sure what work was is but there some some machine going up the elevator shaft.

As the machine went to the top of the building and started to come down. There were things flying out of the shaft. I was thinking rivets but they were probably nuts and bolts. Basically they had to be stuff which held the shaft to the building because at the next moment, the top half of the shaft began to buckle.

The shaft started bending downwards. At about a 45 degree angle, the shaft snapped and plummet onto the road below. Cars were smashed, horns went off. There was a crater where the broken shaft landed. Everything below it was simply flatten. Somehow it felt like we're the only one in the bus seeing this. Everyone else seemed oblivious to what just happened.

Then the scary part started. The portion of road where the shaft landed began to sink in entirely. The whole road collapsed. All the cars just disappeared from the surface as the road sank. We were 2 junctions away from the site. We did not feel any jerks or vibration, the road ahead just sank. The sinking moved towards our direction. It seemed to be determined to bring us down along with it. Somehow it stopped at the junction ahead of us. The rest of the people in the bus started to realised there was something wrong.

Dear and I ran down the steps of the double decker to the door of the bus and told the driver to let us out. The driver was a pain. He simply repeated that he was not given any instructions, everyone MUST stay in the bus. I believe I whacked the dumbass driver and opened the door myself. We got out of the bus and there was people all around us behaving frantically.

The last thing I remember before waking up was me shouting at everyone "Don't run!! Don't make any large movements!! Move slow away into the side roads."

Next thing I know I was sweating in my sofa. WTH.. Really...
