Princes' Haven

This is one of the dreams I really dislike. Good thing I'm through with this in my waking life.

It's the day of the big exam, the boards. We were already seated in our designated seats. Unluckily, our proctor was late on the first subject. She wasn't organized at all in giving the answer sheets and the test booklets. Thirty minutes passed before I was able to start answering. Some, including my sister, were already digging in. My anxiety increased just looking at them.

After the first test, I turned my laptop on (which is weird, because those are not allowed realistically -- I should've gone lucid here; I couldn't still). I browsed my usual stuff and had my headphones on. I didn't realize it was almost time for the second exam. The proctor was already giving out the sheets in front when I said I need to go to the restroom. I hurried on my way. There were still many examinees there, too. When I got back the classroom and took my materials, the seats were arranged differently. I couldn't find mine. I asked two guys who were talking to each other what their numbers were but they didn't answer me. It was as if they couldn't see me. I asked another guy (behind them) what his seat number was (mine was 6). He mumbled so softly that it was really hard to understand. I asked him to say it out clearly but he just kept his low voice ever so shyly. The number I could make out from him was 64, 18, and 32...which was absolutely weird because he should only be saying one number, and we were only twenty plus in the room...of which its walls disappeared then and there, we were under the night sky with city lights around. I told our proctor I couldn't find my seat. She stood and walked around, looking. I lost sight of her.

I was island-hopping with my friends, quite literally: jumping and swimming around to get to the nearby islands. There was a big, gold buddha monument and buildings that looked like toys everywhere. My sister held my hand, as she led the way. We dove under. The water was crystal clear blue (much like swimming in the pool). It was beautiful. We resurfaced and waved at our friends. There also were boats and planes around, a cartoony-like image.

Upon arriving at a place that was dim and damp, with wooden floors and walls, I was introduced to my fiance. An arranged marriage or so it seems. I recognized him (Hyun-Bin), but in this dream he's just some random guy I met for the first time. We were told to answer slam-book like questions in the blackboard to get to know each other.

We were being chased (can't remember who I was with). We trespassed a building that was fenced all around. It looked like a school, a monastery, and a convent all at the same time. The ceilings were low. Walls were cream and maroon-colored. When we passed by a dojo-room with an ongoing martial arts class, we barged in and said we wanted to learn, thinking we could get away from whoever was chasing us. They caught us up though. One guy pointed a big pencil-like weapon (which is weird) directly at my right eye. I feared for my life, but I wasn't able to move either. He wasn't able to hit me because people around saved me.

I was at home, but the house isn't as similar. My sister was frying salted fish; it was smoky inside the kitchen, and the rest of the house. Blur. I slept. I woke up, seeing the same view I saw before I fell asleep. I was in bed. It was a weekday, early in the morning. We had school (me, my sis, and my bro). My sister said it was good she cooked enough last night to last 'til breakfast.

I can't remember much about the events in my dreams lately, so I will just put out words and phrase clouds:
Bloody hands. A long sword. Two swordsmen fighting. A murderer uncaught wanders about. Someone's arms were cut-off. Bleeding. A dead body covered in blood. Screaming. Fear. Dark. Snakes and apes. A theater-like stage with red curtains and yellow spotlights. A grey rabbit mascot. Shy. Sing. Choir. Red chairs in the auditorium.

I was an anime school girl with long blue hair, wielding a sword. At sunset, in a rest-house beside the beach, I was in a battle with a guy I didn't know. He threw me a sword shorter than the one I have, so I had two weapons, and he had one (a sword, too). We fought and I beat him. Outside, my allies waited for me (a guy and a girl). I walked to the shore and pierced my longer sword in the light-brown sand. I gestured my ally (the guy) to do the same. Then at a fast speed, we were flying above the water, but still touching the surface. Almost like swimming without kicking our feet, but not quite. My ally was just behind me.

The sea was blue, but as we got farther, it turned green. When we were near the horizon, the sun setting disappeared and was replaced instead with high dark-gray-colored walls. As I turned to swim back, it became night and I was no longer an anime school girl, I was me in flesh. Gradually, the dark water became a rough road. Then I was riding a motorbike. I wasn't sure if I was being chased or I was racing against some bikers. I at last arrived home. My mom, dad, brother, and sister were there.

At first I was a girl outside a shop, looking for someone. Then I was a guy in a dark room, having a change of clothes. The glass doors weren't see-through but it felt uncomfortable. I knew the girl outside was looking for me. Then running, and all else in a blur.

I was with my brother and sister. We were being chased by people we don't know. We ran and hide a lot everywhere. The weather was cloudy. Everything seemed gray and dull. When night came, we arrived at a deserted city. We decided to use the public shower room we passed by. I took a shower with my clothes on. Then there came these girl teens who went inside with me. They didn't really take a shower, they just sat around the corners, talking (and somewhat teasing) to me like they knew me. I didn't know what was going on, but after I was done, I appeared to be in a white dress. All of a sudden, it was like a wedding -- my wedding. I didn't even know who the groom was.

I was walking with my co-interns in a garden-like facade of a hospital in Benghazi, Libya. It was kind of foggy and kind of cold. We were on duty that day (looks like in the female ward). I was in my usual white uniform. I had two patients for IV insertion so it was a little bloody, nothing serious though.

Sometime after (I think it's lunch break or something), we went outside, off to the pretty garden again. Now there were beautiful residences around, with big glass windows and everything. In one house, I saw a really handsome husky by a red sofa. I pointed out for my friend to see (blabbering about how cute it was), but the dog went somewhere inside, out of sight. My friend didn't get to see it so I went nearer the glass door. While I looked around searching for the dog, I saw a cat inside instead, and another animal I can't seem to remember. The owner was also there, an old lady knitting/sewing. I felt a bit embarrassed so I stepped away immediately.

I had somewhere to go to (didn't know where though). My money wasn't enough for the fare (I only had one/five/ten-peso coins in my mini-wallet), so my sister gave me a fifty-peso bill. I put it in the front small pocket of my uniform (it's where I usually put my paper money). I left and got in a bus pretty quickly; it was a blur.

The bus didn't go the usual way to where I was heading so I had to wait where it would let off passengers. I knew the way to walk there anyway so I didn't mind wherever it stopped. I got off in what looked like a subdivision and did a walk-run on the not-so-wide but not-so-narrow road. There's green grass on the sides, and the road was somewhat curved to the right. I then arrived at the church. It was already dark. The church was open. There was quite a number of people there...seems like a gathering of some sort. I didn't go straight inside the church, I just took a peek. I saw the altar, the crucifix, flowers...only candles lit the place. I went to meet my churchmates somewhere. There was a happy ambiance. Lots of smiles and happy talking.

The next thing, I found myself in a bus at daytime again. I was sitting on the right near the aisle. My friend was by my left, looking out the window. She doesn't seem to want to talk to me though. I remember we were heading some place quite far to do something. Can't remember where and what it was about.
