Dreams

Dreams take many forms. In my dream that night, I was alone in a middle of a vast and pellucid blue ocean on a big raft made out of bamboo and nothing but calmness surrounds me. In that dream, I saw a big (orca) whale and without destination in mind, I let myself afloat and be carried by the gentle waves. I stare at the unknown horizon. 

I don't know why I always have that kind of dream

Once, I felt a deep sadness  in my waking state and that dream visited again. Same form, It started when it was raining that night. I run as fast as I could along unfamiliar streets without any umbrella. I got into a raft in the shore. The same bamboo raft I get into. 

Once again I was alone and this time there's no whale but only large, strong waves that mercilessly hit the raft. It rained so hard with thunder and lightning and I feel scared looking at the raging ocean. I notice that the rain weakened as the raft remains afloat and carried me along an estuary. I still feel scared but I saw the clear, brilliant water from the river while the rain gently pour down on me. Then I woke up, feeling relieved. 

The next day, my friend randomly gave me a keychain. It contains the words...


I took it as a sign that maybe there is a message of hope in my dreams.
