YET 'Nother Dream

This one was a confusing mix between girls I knew in ACJC, and girls I knew in MGS. I only remember the bit where we were sitting in a sortof class, near the top of a lecture theatre, and the lecture hadn't started yet... and for some reason one or two of the girls were gesturing as if they were mockingly mimicking sign language and I suddenly got angry and yelled out, "Stop making fun of their sign language!" They stopped, and looked at me in a shocked and slightly "Huh?" way... But I remember being so angry I didn't care. Then as the class started to dissipate to various other venues, I remember walking down the centre aisle and this girl came up to me and asked if I was okay, and said she totally agreed with me... I was rather surprised because I never expected it of this particular girl before, since my (real-life) experience with her seems to be that she disdains me more than anything else. Anyway, as I was walking along to somewhere else, still seething but somewhat ashamed of my outburst now, another girl came up to me and said she agreed with what I said too, and asked if I remembered what she told me about she and her sister... Somehow I appeared to remember that she'd told me before she and her sister were hearing-impaired / used sign language (even though in real life both she and the girl whom I thought in the dream was her sister had perfect hearing -- and in real life the girl wasn't even her sister but her best friend!) so I said yes... and she started telling me her point of view and suddenly I was awoken by my alarm clock.

Sigh. School and dreams. Perhaps unconsciously, I'm holding onto my memories of school. Yet consciously, I know that I can no longer exist peacefully in a state of unusefulness to society...

And now the question is, how can I be useful to society?

(Undoubtedly at this point a good few of my lecturers will pop up and ask "What do you mean by 'society'?" :P)

This imagination of mine. It must either be tamed or put to daily use, so that my nights are not plagued by it. >.<
Dear Lord, please grant that "the Lion sleeps tonight..."

'Nother Dream

Man, even getting dreams during naps now. Persistent dreams :S

This one again involved VCF and church people... guess you know who I miss huh? :P Well it started out with VCF folk saying they were gonna sleep overnight at the library or something, and we were in this cramped glass-enclosed room and i remember looking around and thinking "Eh, not much place to sleep eh" especially since there were some weird contraptions taking up room. I sat down at the least-threatening contraption and realised my crush was there and we started chatting and were giggling away behind the cover of the contraption. (Oops *blush* :P) Then suddenly I got paranoid that we were giggling and chatting too loud and peeped over the top of the contraption and the room had become a chalet room with a church youth lying on the floor asleep. (Later I realised there was another girl behind us, the sister of the girl whom I saw lying on the floor, but I hadn't known she was there at that point in the scene and I wasn't sure whether she had heard us either.) I sortof found myself sitting next to her and then suddenly the room was filled with more church youths and I was asking them if they were staying and the whole scene got quite chaotic for awhile. And then I was sent on some errand and there were paths of red brick lined by green bushes and there were puddles on the road and I was walking barefooted and I HONESTLY don't remember what it was all about. :P

Dreams aside, I really don't seem to be getting anymore rested despite sleeping so much. And I end up not studying as much as I wanted to... Gahhh. I want my A's!!! >.<

Terrified of 1st exam tomorrow and Human Rights paper on Wednesday. Not that I'm terribly prepared for the rest but at least they're less anxiety-inducing. Am understandably stressed but also feel rather down. Sigh. Today's QT, though, reminded me that when we feel inadequate and overwhelmed, God is near. Thank You, God :')

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me, I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven
To live with Thee there
