Huge Locker Room

Feeling tired after a long day, I was walking to a new swimming complex. It is situated within walking distance from my home (dream home, not real home). One of 2 swimming pools had sparkling blue water indicating depth; while the other was crowded with many people.

I had in my hands, goggles with the lastest inter-changeable lenses (not sure if this really exist!) and was deciding which lens to use. Should I use the dark, clear or blue lenses? Hmmmm..... As the sky was starting to lose light, I decided to use the clear lenses.

First thing's first, I need to change into my swimsuit. With the goggles in one hand and the black one-piece swimsuit in the other, I walked leisurely towards the changing room.

The door to the ladies locker room opened to a winding doorway and several doors. I pushed open one of the door and saw a narrow downward sloping road to what seemed like a busy street. There were many pedestirians and triple-decker luxurious buses. The road was dirty and wet. It didn't occured to me how strange all these are, but I just closed the door.

I tried the next door, there stood a naked woman showering with her back facing me, I closed the door queitly so she would not notice.

The next door I tried opened to a empty shower, but has another door opened on the opposite wall. Changing into my swim suit while trying to keep the 2 doors closed prove to quite a chore, but I managed to do it.

I left my things in a locker, and wear the key on a rubber band on my wrist.

I swam with such grace. I could feel the water rushing by me as I swim. I could feel the strength in my arms, the coolness of the water, and simple sense of relxation from the speed. It's as if I was being cleansed, not such my body, but my soul as well.

Married?

I've gone on an overseas trip for business, just reach home. Not at all tired, fresh as a budding flower. While I was axiously waiting for my husband to come home (Note : I'm still single), my mother-in-law came into our bedroom and demanded me to change the bed sheets with her.

Strangely, the bed is in the middle of the room, so we shifted it to one side of the room. This is the first time I've taken the time to look around the room. It is a classy room with built-in cupboards and italian furnishings. The bed just doesn't fit into any wall because it would means that some cupboards or furniture will be blocked. In the end, we decided to place the bed in front of the cupboard least used.

Throughout this dream, I felt an ache in my heart. I missed my husband very much.

My analysis of my inner self :
I have always had a problem with living with my in-laws, because I'm someone who treasures my own space. Does this dream means I'm ready to move on, that I'm willing to give up that freedom for family life? Or maybe it simply means that I just miss my man so much.

Heroine

Have you ever been in a robbery? I have, well at least in my dreams.....

In a small room with wooden walls, there is a bed, a desk and a key box (A box on the wall, we hang keys in it). A middle-aged lady was sitting on the bed beside me. We are both on standby in the midnight shift, we have our uniform hang on the hooks by the bed, waiting for our boss (the emperor...?) to call for us.

Three men in technician uniform entered the room after knocking on the door (the dream has no sound, but somehow I knew they knocked on the door). They claimed that they are from Maple (the name of the company has been changed to protect the innocents :P), that aroused my suspicion because I work for Maple but I have never seen these fellows before. I pretended to believe in them and told them that I had to go run some errands. They didn't stop me from leaving the building but I could sense that someone is following me.

I sms my boyfriend to meet me at a hotel. When we both get into the room, I wrote on a piece of paper "We are in trouble, don't say a word. Call the police after I've returned to the office"

Like in a movie, the scene switched to the robbery which is now is session. The men are carrying black guns (I'm not familiar with weapons, but they kinda look like rifles, the kind that could shoot many bullets, and no, they are not machine guns) and the people were gathered in a room. The robbers were standing around while the rest of the people were squatting. I was guided into the room when I returned to the building. The man who had been following me soon return and talked to leader, telling him that I did not do anything suspicious. Before they could finish their discussion, three police cars arrived and surrounded the building.

The police has save the day.

Scary Curry

I had been busy working recently and not have enough rest, therefore I fall alseep easily during bus rides. During one of such rides, I started to doze off and an image imerge in my mind :

There is a pot of bubbling liquid. A close-up of the pot makes it clear that it is curry. I took a ladle to stir the curry, and there something was bobbling up and down in the pot. When I use the ladle to take a closer look, it turned out to be a HUMAN HEAD. I could see the woman's face and long hair.

The shock was too much for me. I nearly let out a cry when I woke up.

My Analysis of my inner self :
I think that I feel so pressurised by my situation that I am starting to transform my frustration and stress into hatred for someone. This "someone" is women around me. I feel I'm competing with almost every woman around me because I would compare myself with them. If ladyA is successful in career and family life, I would ask myself why I am not able to do the same. If ladyB is gorgeous and popular, I would want to know why.
