unlike most people, i tend to remember the dreams i had when i was sleeping. Some stressful, some ridiculous, few scary ones. but, i had a terrible nightmare yesterday. it was so realistic and painful that i started crying, and continued to cry uncontrollably even after i woke up.

i saw a jetty. it was that fateful time. everyone gathered at the jetty, waiting for the death-gods. no one knew who amongst us is already dead, who has fallen victim to the epidemic or disaster. only the death-gods know, and the fear is that they are here to bring away someone you love. i stood there, waiting. it can't be someone i know. but, that person i know, that person whom i treasure so much started to fade off. i then knew that that person is going to leave, to disappear, but i couldn't stop that person from leaving. i started to cry, i held onto that person tightly......

i never knew that person meant so much to me. did this dream helped me to realise that? i am thankful that it was just a dream, a very real dream.
