yet another dream

for the past wk or so, i have been dreaming abt making disastrous mistakes at work, or airplanes crashing in different ways (ie. nosedive and crash into ground, bouncing while landing and eventually transforming into a heap of ash, etc). last night i had a break finally, from all these (bad) aviation dreams.

my dream:
my father rented a chalet with a few frens, and everyone brought their families along. [we did something like that in real life. we used to go on tours to malaysia as a group, and it was really fun.]
the chalet was a simple room, with one queen size bed and 2 single mattresses on the floor. the 2 singles looked like they were additional. there wasn't much floor space left, and everyone squeezed onto the beds at night. it was very cramped. (much like the hotel rm in orchard mandarin, on rgs prom night)
we checked out early the next morning, and the next thing that happened is a frequent event in my dreams. while in dreamland chalet, i had a sudden urge to find a washroom.[no prizes for guessing why]. there was a wooden door in the room, which i had assumed it was the connecting door to the neighbouring unit, and was locked.
i pivoted and observed my room again. darn, no toilet door.
out of sheer desparation and a "wrong also never mind" mentality, i twisted the door knob of that wooden door. to my surprise, the door opened, revealing a big and spacious room. then it suddenly dawned upon me that this was part of the chalet that we had rented, and we had all assumed it was simply a locked connecting door. none of us tried to open the door, and so we have missed using this big 2nd room.
i saw the big bed, and the clean fresh white bedsheets covering it. i wanted to throw myself onto the bed and have a nice long nap, but alas, it was time to check out!!

i didnt wake up immediately, but when i did, i thought abt the dream.
could it be a literal wake-up call? the wooden door could represent some opportunity to a whole new world, but i have been overlooking it because of some presumptions. the new world would be able solve some of my current problems, which i couldnt solve before turning the door knob. and when i finally realise that there IS a world beyond the door, it was too late to enjoy it.
A missed opportunity.

it was a little scary to think of all these. my dreams are usually simple n nonsensical. i dont think i have ever had a dream with such a vivid n obvious msg.

I think it's not so much what a dream is trying to say to you but what you make of it. Since you interpret it as such, open your eyes, ears, heart and soul to things you've closed them from in the past! ;)

wow i've never analysed my dreams before. but so far i've just been dreaming about being chased by my boss to finish my work or being given new assignments before i even finish the old one :( don't think there's any hidden meaning behind that, it's just a reflection of reality heh..
