Unbelieveable and Indescribable Dreams

Yesterday, I had the most number of dreams ever in a night.
I must have had like 5 dreams, but now I can only remember 2 clearly.

I love deciphering dreams.
They make no sense at all and bring some balance to this over-serious world.

So what's my first dream?

I dreamt of LTC aka Tliu.
I was talking to KY earlier over supper about her, and how she actually made me forget the other liu for a while. But because she's attached, and being the great guy I am, I don't wanna sabotage her relationship.

That must have planted the seed for what's to come while I'm sleeping.

Because in my dream, I actually met her lookalike!


The original Tliu

Since Tliu is happily attached, 周公 smartly deduced the only way around it is to find someone who looks like her. And to make it even more surreal and mesmerizing, he chose to make her appear in the form of a ......

Mermaid?!

Mermaids

Go figure.

My own thinking is perhaps it's Disney related, and everyone loves stuff from Disney! O.o

So in the dream, I was talking to her, and she's Tliu's sister.

(Like WTF i know, but bear with me)

She's stranded on an island and to get to her, one must brave through a path of extreme danger. (Which obviously I did because I managed to see her)

And because dreams are always perfect and the way you want them to be, this ~~girl~~ mermaid is very responsive to communication. Unlike her elder sis, totally.

So we talked, and talked, and talked.

And talked.

And talked some more.

Okay maybe not that much but I can't make out what happened eventually.
Not like something is supposed to happen when you date a mermaid, but yeah you get my point.

I like this post because it's been a while since I posted about positive stuff.
Which also means I'm back.

And I'm getting better.

Always. Everyday.

Footnotes

1)
I suspect I had such shining, shimmering, and splendid dreams because I had an overdose of espresso shots yesterday -- a double-shot macchiato and a double-shot espresso (12am),

And I just had another double-shot macchiato today.

No prizes for guessing what I want to dream about tonight

2) If it interests you, my second dream was about me killing someone together with CS and gang. I then turned myself into the police and I don't know what happened after that.

3) It's been more than a week since I deactivated my Facebook account, and I'm surviving very well. Tech fatigue has been reduced dramatically, and i'm feeling much better.

This is what I tell my friends. Nowadays when I unlock my phone, I almost lock it back immediately. No more pulling down of the blue and white screen, and checking out the latest updates. And because of that, I'm actually talking to more people now. ;)

What will I do without Facebook?

These are times when I increasingly feel I'm excessively connected to my gadgets and to the Internet.
Sometimes, to the point that I feel disgusted.
Disgusted that I'm living such a virtual life, and being enslaved to such lifeless objects.

My iPad doesn't make me happy.
My S3 doesn't make me smile.
Except when I first laid my hands on them perhaps.

Interaction with humans makes me happy.
Getting out and doing things in the real world keeps me engaged and buzzing.

And Facebook is the Internet beast that is consuming me alive, bit by bit.
So I asked myself,

"When do I use Facebook?"
Usually when i'm bored or when I have things to share.

"Does Facebook help resolve those issues?"
Yes, it does keep me entertained when im bored. But the truth is, I never use Facebook when I'm doing something engaging.

Facebook has always been a superficial remedy. It didn't change my life for the better, and it most likely won't in the future.

So how was life like before Facebook?

I figure I will find out very soon, because I deactivated my FB account this morning.

It wasn't hard, in spite of one sly last-ditch attempt by the Beast to keep me from leaving.

Wanna leave? See if you will succumb to my emotional blackmail!

Picture above isn't a screenshot of my own FB account, just to show you how it looks like.

So FB took pictures of 4 random friends (really random because they aren't even the friends I interact with the most) and declared that they will miss me if I leave.

Really?

Ok I hope they will text me or call me when they realize i'm gone!
That beats having an extra "Like" on my statuses or posts anytime.

So, I clicked on the Confirm button, and typed in my password.

It was a gratifying feeling.
