Ugly Dreams : The Series

They're ugly and they're lucid. For some ominous reason sometimes my dreams tend to come true, I hope to God it doesn't for this recent set. The pattern in which they happened (might be sleep deprivation), I will relate them here instead of writing it in my dream journal.

1 - The Ugly Bride - Mom bought a wedding dress the last minute I was about to go to the altar. When she showed it in the room at the back of a church, I was aghast. The dress was even tackier than what some impulsive woman would wear at a Las Vegas wedding chapel. For some reason I knew she bought it at Robinson's May. It was a small white, cocktail dress, empire waist and pleated at the skirt area. That would look okay except that wrong color combinations were splashed across the front. There were big yellow tassels hanging from the boob area, two parallel green smears which looked like a child's hand project were lined just below the tassels and a blue abstract was blotted on the skirt -- a rorschach ink test for the wedding guests just in case the dress wouldn't provoke a mind game. Oh man, I was beginning to cry even as my mom was scolding me for trying to ruin the dress that i wore at that moment which was a pink sleeveless blouse, prettier than the hideous r-t-w. And did I mention it was a church wedding?

2 - The Cruel Alien - I was in a house when I ran towards my car with a few friends on board. Then there's the usual car shaking, flashes of light, something in the air feeling that a UFO could be close by. True enough it was right in front of us. But it was half-and-half UFO apparition. On top of the circular disk was a half-body of an unknown gigantic woman who was pimped up in a retro look. The spacecraft was inspired by the 60s -- red beehive hair, catty glasses with a string going to her ears, fake eyelashes, and a green dress with red polka dots just above the ship. Great, we are now terrified. I figured the alien ship was in an ultimate bored mood and decided to tractor beam us, our car floating high above the house, the cliff and the sea. So, while we're high above the sea did our alien decide to turn off the beam and let us free fall in horror. Cruel, just cruel.

3 - Seattle Caffeine Shake - Fresh as the headlines, the big one, 9.0 quake, struck Seattle. I was in a random house for an unknown reason and I felt a big concrete wave underneath me. I still managed to go outside and see the buildings fall down. Miraculously still alive after that I managed to see the massive tsunami coming towards the city.

4 - Crossing the Building - I had the compulsion to cross a bridge going to another building which looked exactly the same one where I was at (twin towers?). Here's the catch, the only way to get to this bridge is to go outside the building and crawl standing on the eeny-bitty ledge that protruded from the window. As you know modern buildings don't have latches on their window where I can get out (unless Hollywood built it) but unbelievably there I was, walking on the small ledge sideways towards the bridge high above the 100 something floor, feeling the harsh wind against my face. A moment of panic would easily send me down although that didn't happen, I managed to get there. Yipee. You wonder why it is an ugly dream? Well, it's a bad in terms of the logic part. First, why didn't I just take an elevator down and crossed the street. Second, why do I need to cross this bridge when it is on top of the building? And third, what was the urgent reason that I was crossing for anyway? I forget.

5 - The Baby - I held a newborn baby in my hands, it's not mine though. The baby boy suddenly started to speak, really cohesive words. Not only that he also started a conversation with me. Yaiks.
