Nightmare

I was only taking a nap when I had a terrible nightmare which I vividly remember after I woke. This was how it went. I was walking in the opposite direction to the traffic flow down the flyover linking Singapore Polytechnic and the road towards NUS with two other friends. I know these two other friends would like to stay low-profile, so I shall not mention their names.

As we walked down the road, there was this scary funeral procession led by a Taoist priest in yellow robes. He was ringing a bell and it seemed as though it was a live presentation of those processions where priests led a line of zombies behind them. What followed next was a scarier sight, four men were carrying an old, traditional coffin you usually see in Hong Kong series, raised using levers. The descendents following behind were dressed in modern clothes which looked like a paradox with the conventional procession.

In fact, there wasn't really a thing that was actually freaking me out. It was the overwhelming aura of death and tradition that made things appear so frightening. I was surprised in the dream, when in face with such an ordeal, I remembered that I had to chant and in fact, I chanted the Manjusri Mantra "Om A Ra Pa Cha Na Dhīh" continuously and that calmed my nerves very much. For some reason, I knew I would be protected by Manjusri.

I think the reason why I had such a nightmare despite it being only a nap is because of the latest hottest topic of town. This topic has stirred many thoughts and I am glad it actually reinforced my thinking and faith. Another plausible reason for this incredible nightmare was because of the many accidents I hear of on the roads and of course, because I saw an ambulance rushing off the same road yesterday morning.

And a run after that clears up my mind again.

我梦见你 在未来某一天的你 白发依稀 微笑的唇还如往昔 看你的手 虽然皱纹已清晰 牵手的劲 依然像昨日般力气 梦见自己 我看到从前的自己 有些任性 只因当时身边有你 离开你 若干年后才明白 真爱难觅 In my dream 最后我们会重遇 我的手 停泊在你的手心 不再逃离 直到世界停止了四季 我愿意 I have a dream I have a dream 在你怀中慢慢清醒 每个夜里 看着你轻轻睡去 风再乱 我们牵着手而行 永不弃 永不离 In my dream 最后我们会重遇 我的手 停泊在你的手心 不再逃离 直到世界停止了四季 我愿意 这世界 越来越多 坏的消息 是非曲直的议题 让人已忘记 也只有爱 可以抵抗黑白蓝绿 In my dream 最后我们会再重遇 我的手 停泊在你的手心 我不再逃离 一直到世界停止了四季 我愿意 In my dream 我们注定要再相遇 而风和雨 将在你和我的爱里得到平息 天知道我到底有多爱你 我爱你
