Journal of Dreams

Every morning, well, most mornings, especially weekday mornings, I would take a few minutes between waking up and getting up. It depends, the few minutes could turn into like half an hour. I would just lie very very still, staring at the ceiling, sometimes stretched my back a bit, sometimes smiling looking out of the window..Well, it depends on the dreams that I have the night before.

It has become a habit to try to remember my dreams. Happy dreams, sad dreams, dreamy kind of delusions, mysterious like there must be a good interpretion of dreams, even nightmares. I have yet to wake up, all sweaty, heart beating fast, head throbbing, kind of dream. Wait, maybe there was, once...couldn't remember much.

Heard somewhere that Tun Mahathir has a journal of dreams, where he writes down all his dreams. That was how we got proton, sepang circuit, putrajaya..What I'm not sure is whether its subconscious, when he's asleep dreams, or just a list of the things he wants to do.

Somehow, I only dream of my parents, family, friends, buying the It handbags, shoes, holidays. Why is it I dont get IMPORTANT dreams like inventing machines, building monuments, manufacturing something useful commercially, something grand, dreams that can make me famous, to make me rich..I suppose I am no Tun Mahathir material, even if I have such dreams I do not have the capacity nor do I have access to the government $$$$$ ..

Mimpi indah and angan-angan Mat Jenin...

  1. Hmmm.. perhaps Tun was also dreaming abut his parents.. he dreamnt that he wanted to give his father a brand new car...but his father probably said " I want a Malaysian car".. so next day he wrote it down " Malaysian car "... He dreamnt he was giving the F1 prize away, then was told he cant do it, Bernie said" get your own circuit and I'll let you do it then" ..so he wrote"F1 circuit"..and so on with other dreams..

  2. i read somewhere that either you sharpen your memory or you delay bein senile if you recall your dream every morning. i can't remember which one. maybe because i rarely recall my dreams
