The Sweetest Dream

I find it odd whenever I grasp a vivid memory of my dreams after long hours of slumbers. When I was younger, I used to make a fuss over it. I remember myself asking older people if dreams come true when you remember them when you wake up. If it was a good one, I wanted to make myself believe that someday, it'll come true. But if it was the other way around, I immediately dumped the thought 'coz just thinking about it made me sick.

Last night, I had the sweetest dream after a long long time. Well, I woke up happy. Yes, with a sweet smile on my face. Now, thinking about it, I feel so weird because I can really visualize it, as if I'm still dreaming.

Well, it started with me playing beach volleyball with some friends until I found myself covered with unbearable darkness in an afternoon. As if the clouds and the heavens were angry real bad. The waves were getting mightier and were beginning to hurt my skin, strain my muscles. The next thing I knew, there was a huge huge wave that was out to get me.

Okay, so now you might be wondering what I did about it. Well, in my dream I was still calm and was still able to think of a unique idea. The people were panicking already, they were running like crazy without anywhere to go. So, I went to a post, hugged it really tight and promised to not let go. Can you imagine how I looked?! Hilarious! But I was serious, man. I say this was a unique idea because I was the only one who thought about it. And then the rest followed. Crazily, I felt proud about it because for some strange and foolish reason, the huge and mighty wave did not eat us. Parang binasa lang kami pero nansusugat! Grabe, I felt like I was someone from the movie Poseidon! This wasn't where the sweet part emerged. It's actually funny to extract something sweet about this beginning of a dream but it actually occurred!

What happened next? The next scene felt like I was playing the "Hardest Game On Earth". I said to myself, when the waves get off the shore, I'll move quickly, run and pass the back stage! There was a back stage at a beach! Sobrang weird. I was desperately aiming to catch my breath and at last felt secured when I found my family in a resto. Siyempre, dahil lahat ng tao sinasabing matakaw ako, parang na-instill yata yun sa mind ko and hanggang sa panaginip, matakaw pa rin daw ako. Siyempre, nagpalibre ako kasi nasurvive ko yung tsunami on that part of the resort! See, my dream's really weird. Tsunami that chooses only a part of a resort. Like, around 15 feet lang yung inoccupy na part. Haaay. Until...

I saw him. We were buying a snack from the same stand. And he called me by my nickname.

Jam, right?

I was surprised because I didn't even think that he knows me. And he knows my name. It felt like that's the sweetest time my name's ever spoken. A conversation started and then we felt really comfortable being together. We had dinner and spent the night together. It felt as if we were beyond the friendly stage and in my dream it was official. Friends know about us. We were sweet. And as we went home, he leaned his head on my shoulder and I leaned mine against his head. Slowly, I closed my eyes as he clasped his hand with mine.


In my dream I was thinking, "Is this just a dream? Is this just a dream?" And my eyes opened, with my niece hugging me, making me feel really missed.

Yes, a dream, it was.
