My Imaginary Dreams

Sherry Wu

    Every morning, I try to recall the process of my dreams after waking up. I know those dreams are unreal and exaggerated but I think that sometimes they can reflect what we confronted in the past. There are many stories in my dreams. They can be classified into three themes—transportations, tests and magic.

    I often dream about taking the bus and the MRT. Generally, in my dream, the drivers of the buses bring me to strange places and they are far away from my home. Once, I dreamed that my destination was a grave yard. It was so horrible that I yelled out and woke up. Sometimes, I dreamed that no one was in a dark MRT station and only I sat in the station. Maybe, I hate taking the bus and the MRT deep in my mind.

    The second theme is exhausting tests. I am always very nervous before I take a test. Therefore, during the exam week, I often dream about bad things for tests. One of the dreams was being late for a math test. When I went into the classroom, all the classmates laughed at me. I wore sleep clothes and held a Teddy Bear. That was so embarrassing. I took a peek on the math sheet. All questions were hard to me. Of course, I got zero on the math test. Indeed, in the senior high school, I often failed on math tests. Those were humiliating experiences.

    The final theme that recurs in my dreams is unbelievable magic. I like to read comic books, so I sometimes dream about supermen. Once, I dreamed that I was a superman who had the ability to eliminate bad spirits. I sat on a high chair and roared out a long spell in order to attack those monsters. Those supermen played an important role in the magic world. I think that it must be messy if there is magic in the world. Some people may be addicted to the magic and kill other people.

    No matter what I dreamed, I think those dreams can reflect my deep inside or the happening in the day. I can find something hidden in my heart and see different aspects of my life. Perhaps through dreams, I can recognize another side of myself.
