(An article I wrote for the October-December 2004 issue of the Red Lily publication. Looking back on those days, I realized how a mediocre writer I was before. Nevertheless, I'm still proud of it. I decided to divide it into parts since the article is too long.)
WHAT DREAMS MAY COME
Dream – (n.) a mental process, usually in the form of a series of imagined events occurring during certain phases of sleep. A dream is an interface between the process of life and our conscious personality. Dreams can be an expression of what is happening in the physical body. They can be a source of insight and information derived from our memory, experience and subconscious. Dreams can be a means to the solving of problems and can be used to access a world beyond our physical realm.
All that happens in this world cannot simply be explained by scientific means. Not everything has a lucid reason or purpose of why it is occurring. Indeed, we are all aware of that. I’m not just talking about spirits, ghosts or whatsoever, you might think. I just want to share my thoughts and speak my mind about these so-called “dreams”.
As defined above, dreams happen during our sleep. They are a series of imagined events visualized during our subconscious being – a representation of what we are thinking, although far more different or even opposing from reality. I’m sure that everybody knows and has already experienced it, but no one can explain why these things happen. Since I was small, I have been dreaming of weird things, strange events, unknown places and many more. Up ‘til now, I’m still wondering and searching for the real reason why I see these things during my sleep. Nevertheless, I have accepted the fact that it’s part of my system, and part of the human existence.
There are nights when I suddenly wake up due to the unexplained feeling after dreaming of something shocking, exciting, weird or sad. There are mornings when I wake up and remember my dreams that convey stories full of twists, with me as the lead character. I’m even astonished after realizing that the stories from these dreams can already be part of a blockbuster movie due to the scenes full of action, suspense, fantasy, horror, and drama. I see myself in different settings, from familiar ones up to the strange but nice places my feet have never stepped on. I envision events that could never happen in real life. There are times that I hope I could live the dreams, experience the fun and excitement, and go the places that no one has ever gone to. And I supposed you share my sentiments too.

Although I am baffled by these dreams, I still find it amusing remembering how these dreams convey stories or events in unexplainable yet enchanting ways. I even wrote those fantastic ones to keep memories and recall the scenes, the places, and those people involved.
