Dream, dream, dream (All I have to Do is Dream by: Campbell Glen)

The past few weeks I have been having this recurring dream of going up mountains. They were more of going into a huge house on a large mountain. Getting to these houses weren’t easy. This is how the dream usually goes.

I climb up a very steep mountain accompanied by some friends or family members. The road is dusty and the weather is gloomy. People in their cars pass us by. There are times when passengers of these cars stop to chat with us but don’t offer us a ride even if we could clearly use some help. My companions and I still continue climbing up the mountain.

Once we get to the top, there’s a huge house sometimes, a mansion and there’s nobody in it. In my dream, I usually end up alone when I get to the top and all the people I climbed up the mountain with kind of just disappear. Then, someone comes after me, sometimes, I get introduced to someone who has some illness. One time, the house I went into was actually a hospital for lepers where there was a nun who told me I was going to be a leper too.

Another time, there was a guy from the mafia who tried to kill me. I tried to run from him and tried to get into the house just to hide from him.

I always have this dream of climbing up a mountain where there’s a big house on top. And getting to the top’s always very tiring. It’s not like most of the nightmares other people have. I don’t think it could be considered as a nightmare, but dreaming about the same thing all the time does make you wonder, don’t you think?

Anyway, I tried looking it up in one of the “Dream Interpreter” sites And these are the things I found out, which you might find interesting

Today I witnessed, just like many times before, just why statistics keep telling us that pretty soon we will be running out of water.

I was in the restroom and beside me by the sink was someone brushing her teeth, from the moment she stuck her toothbrush in her mouth, she let the water run. Full blast! For an average person it takes about a good 3-5 minutes to finish brushing his/her teeth. Man!! For almost a hundred times since I was in high school I switch the faucet off for people like them while they let it run and laugh and talk and wasting water. WASTING WATER!! I’ve tried actually switching off the faucet for them and I do get their attention, the next time I meet any of them in the restroom they no longer keep the faucet running. I mean for crying out loud, these faucets even have pull up pull down mechanism so that they will be easier to just switch off when you’re not using it.

I feel so bad because this morning I didn’t tell this lady I was with in the restroom not to keep doing what she does everyday, after every meal while brushing her teeth.

Please while soaping your hands, don’t let the water just flow. When you’re not using it, don’t waste it in the process. Do you remember the times when there wasn’t any water? How sticky your hands were, how filthy your sink was with all the dishes piled up. Remember when you got to the office late because you didn’t have water to take a bath.

There will come a time when we guys would kill for water. And I have a feeling it won’t be too far from today. So grabe ha, do your part. It’s not like there’s water all the time. We can run out of it you know!

The Philippines is probably just a few of the countries left that flush the toilet with clean water daw, I heard once in the radio.

Anyway that’s that. I also don’t like people littering. It horrifies me.
