An Adventurous Dream

May 6th, 2014 
02.00 a.m. - 04.10 a.m. Just what I've been expecting, another weird and wild dream... 

So me and one of my colleagues from my former job went back from the office, I found out that she was actually my next door neighbor in a dorm. The dorm was quite large, but from the outside I could only see my room and her room, all of the surroundings were dark and shadowy with a very high ceiling. We both went to our own rooms and she said she'd call me to get some dinner once she'd done changing. So I waited inside my room while watching TV. In the end I couldn't wait any longer, so I knocked on her door and asked whether her boyfriend had arrived to join the dinner. 

As she opened the door and I was standing in front of it, a shadow rushed inside my room, so I quickly checked inside my room. To my surprise it was my colleague's boyfriend showing up with a laugh, I guess he wanted to scare the hell out of me. So after his fancy showing up style we went to some usual tent food place to eat, there was nothing I could remember about that part. After a while we went back, but the shadowy dormitory room changed into a somewhat 3x2 room with windows and curtains on all sides and my colleague was nowhere to be seen. The room reminded me of one of my relative's place. I was trying to sleep when a knock came from the door. I opened the door and found that my ex was standing there with a toddler in her arms. She told me that it was my mom's child and I thought to myself; How the heck, I didn't ask though... She then came inside, sat and let the kid play in my room. 

It was almost dawn when the kid peed his pants, it was weird though; the pee was a lot, freakin made me panic and used my clothes from the wardrobe to clean and dry the floor (it was an instant act, I guess I could've used a mop or something else). After I cleaned everything, she took the kid to the bathroom outside of her room. When she came back, it was morning time already, light was coming in, I told her to put the kid outside in the sofa. After that the curtains from all sides were opened automatically, I could see from the window that one of the maids from my relatives' house were walking towards my room. She told me that all of the maids couldn't sleep also last night, when I turned to ask something to my ex, she had already disappeared. But when I checked the sofa where the kid was on, he was still there with another maid. Then I asked the maid again about the reason they couldn't sleep. She said it was because there was a ghost playing a violin somewhere inside the house that made them scare and couldn't sleep. Funny that I didn't hear any violin sound last night. 

The light from the sun wasn't there anymore, then some fully armed guys and some civilians from the neighborhood walked inside the room. One of the guys revealed that they were the military and said that they were setting their base in the house for the incoming assault from the terrorists. He explained about the terrorists of whom came from Medan to seek revenge for one of their comrades who was shot to death by the police. It is funny that I can remember one of the military guy's face whom I'd never met in reality. 

It was funny also that it was night time again. Not long after the terrorists' convoy arrived, they all looked liked the Talibans complete with AKs and rocket launchers. The situation got really tensed like in some war zone, to my horror the military guys had disappeared leaving me and other civilians there, I guess they were spreading and getting ready to attack. Then it was switched to daytime again. In the middle of the panic of whether we should stay or leave, my brother was suddenly there beside me. I saw that the Talibans were getting off of their vehicles, then I told everyone to duct under the window to avoid getting seen. I peeked, then I saw all of them were getting ready to shoot down the house with their AKs, I duct again and closed my ears. Everyone survived when they'd finished emptying their rounds, then me and my brother somehow got outside and were running for our lives. The surroundings were really like of those in a war zone; burning houses and vehicles, bodies on the streets, helicopters dropping, man, all kinds of madness. My brother and I have gotten separated when I got to some area that hasn't been attacked. I saw behind me were some Taliban guys running towards my direction. They were still far away behind so they couldn't have noticed me, I took the action to quickly jump into a gutter to hide. Out of the fire and into the frying pan, the gutter was a small crevice opening to a bottomless chasm. I couldn't see the bottom of it and I was merely holding myself from falling with my strength between the crevice. The crevice was filled with mold and moss, it was very slippery and I was slipping. 

Somehow I got out of that problematic gutter and saw my dad standing on the stairs, a similar staircase to the one near my home in Bogor. I saw my step mom, brother and sister also. My dad said something, but I couldn't remember anything. Then the wild dream ended, thus regaining my consciousness. It is very amusing to me for a very long dream to occur only in two hours of sleep time.
