Sunday - Learning by Dreams

SAD STORY/DRAMA

One afternoon, I put on my earphones. I planned to take a nap while listening to music. But somehow when I was about to fall asleep, the song suddenly stopped.

And I started dreaming.

A dream that was truly unique, truly random, a dream that felt like deja vu. But it gave me a lot of lessons and was very sad until I cried. There I met people who I had started to forget from my past life, characters in movies, anime and videos.

At first, I was greeted by a horror dream, where there was a creature that was looking at me who was floating. When I saw it, I didn't know what it was, but suddenly I mocked it, saying I wasn't afraid of it, and gave it my middle fingers.

But it trembled violently and suddenly my POV changed to a very large drama stage with red curtains, where various creatures or demons of various shapes and sizes that I think I had seen in some videos on YouTube gathered, they're staring at me. But strangely, I wasn't scared, and I was like being driven to fight.

#The dream means that we should not be arrogant to anyone, should not look down on anything because we will receive very big consequences. And when we do something wrong, we have to be responsible#

…

Then after that my dream shifted, where I was using my earphones, there was no song playing, but it still blocked my hearing.

There I was told that I had exchanged souls with someone who looked like me, then I met many characters who I felt like I had seen them on TV series. There he did bad things to other people using my body. And in the middle of the conversation about the exchanged souls, me in his body said that I had no soul.

#The dream means that we are the same as others, similar to others, we are all human. What makes us different is what's inside us, how we appreciate and respect our own appearance, there are optimists and pessimists people. And remember, if you've given a mandate, power, or position by others, even if we don't ask for it, don't misuse it, don't betray it#

…

Then the next dream, I became a popular junior high school student (good looking), in that school, the staff threw bottles everywhere and poured water on everyone who was there including me and I was quite annoyed by that, and some of them (staff) looked annoyed and tried to stop it.

Then break time came, I left the school gate to look for food. But I was confused because there were too many foods. Along the way, many women talked about me (popular). But suddenly I fell and it was very embarrassing but strangely the women screamed hysterically how handsome I was but didn't help me stand up.

After that I got up and imagined if only when I was about to fall earlier, I jumped onto a large rock on the side of the road and stayed there, I think it would be cool.

Because time ran out, I went back to school without buying any single food. On the way, there I met some female classmates of mine. And one of them said to me that didn't I like one of them and I said which one is that. Even though I know her, but I pretend not to know her.

#This means that in this era where government always act arbitrarily but there are still some of them who try so that they can fulfill their responsibilities. Also no matter how popular you are (your life is full of joy) you will fall too (embarrassed, fail, sick). Then when you fall the people who support you when you stand up (succeed) they won't help you stand up again, they just say a few words of encouragement through electronic media.

You have to get up on your own.

Then, don't be too wishful and picky about something, because your life is not enough to spend on it all.

Last but not least, appreciate the person who loves you even though you don't love him/her, don't embarrass him/her#

The dream shifted again, right when I entered the school gate, I turned into an elementary school student, there the faces that I had started to forget when I was little came back, bringing memories that made me sad, where we had met in an activity where I didn't really like it. I listened to them chatting and strangely my vision changed like I'm watching movies from the 1900s and then changed back to normal view.

Then there was one of them (my senior) who spoke and then I saw a lot of students who stopped trying to listen to what he was talking about. Then I remembered something very important for them, I tried to say it to everyone but they seemed not to care.

Suddenly, in the pond behind me I saw a Kuntilanak (Indonesian Female Ghost) who was going to attack one of us and I chased her away, she ran away and returned to the pond, on her side there were two henchmen who accompanied her.

I approached them and tried to chase the Kuntilanak further away until she got to the top sitting on a throne under which there was a red cube pillar. I remembered something from that pillar and I took one part of it and flew away the Kuntilanak quickly chased me.

I tried to dismantle part of the pillar with my psychic power while flying and the Kuntilanak tried to reassemble part of the pillar with her psychic power while chasing me.

And until finally I lost and battered. I tried to say that I was trying to help get her child out.

When the Kuntilanak's child came out (born), I told her to be careful because her child could bother and hurt her. Sure enough, the baby bit his mother's big toe very hard until it hurt, the Kuntilanak was in pain and asked "Why is this child so strong?" after she saw it turned out that the child was born as a monkey descendant just like his mother.

#Here I learned the importance of maintaining communication and relationships (silaturahmi) with others because without realizing it people we once loved will be gone forever from this world. I also learned how to appreciate every moment that I have experienced because someday it will become one of our successes and happiness in the future.

Then sometimes adults don't want to listen to what children say, they prefer to listen to people in their age or older. Listen to them maybe it can save your life.

Also my dream with the Kuntilanak gave me a very valuable lesson where we should not judge someone by their appearance alone by their race. Because they may not be what we imagine. And sometimes we want to get something good but in the wrong way so it causes misunderstanding.

And when you want to do good, do it until the end, don't stop doing good because you are hurt or not trusted by others.

Mother. Mother is someone who must be very respectful because you don't know how hard she fought to give birth to you, you don't know how much pain you have given your mother when you don't understand anything. Don't underestimate the power of a mother because she will do anything for her child even if her life is at stake.

And also to all the mothers out there, Your child will not be much different far from you (character, behavior, etc.)#

…

My last dream, this is what made me really sad, where I was in the ending of a very fun and cheerful anime. But there I sat limp and couldn't do anything while the anime ending kept going.

I wanted to show the world that what they saw was not like what I felt. There I was really dying and my lips were so dry that I couldn't speak.

There I saw some people who were worshiping, some who were really worshiping and some who were worshiping as a formality.

I said "Humans, when they life, they always hope to go back to the past and enjoy its beauty again, but when they approach their death, they hope to be given at least one more second to say something to the person they love."

And that's when I woke up with a dry mouth.
