Strange Dream

Zoë is a little tired from work.
Yesterday, she had a strange dream again. ..

In the dream, I met a few very interesting people in a red wedding. Yes, red wedding. Every woman in there wore red with hairstyles that could only be found in animes. One of the guys there showed me a secret pathway to a land that owned by Malaysian government. I was enticed to hear that and my hidden adventurous nature kicked in.

The secret entrance to that land was odd. It appeared to be a washing machine. When I thought it could be a hole like the one in the Alice's Wonderful, it turned out to have staircases going downward. It was dark but the guy who guided me encouraged me to take the first step and I did. The next thing I know, I found myself in this strange place. The landscape was huge and it assimilated some street corners and country sides of Malaysia but I remembered that I told myself the cool weather was not the same of the all-year-round burning summer in Malaysia. It was “better.”

As we walked to a huge complex, it looked exactly the same as a big mall with people selling food and different mechanizes. It was thrilling. There was a person who sold my favorite pastry claimed that he had the best recipe in Butterworth. I shook my head and told him that I never heard of him. He was offended for a moment but gave me a piece to sample. The pastry was melting sweet and soft. It was indeed the best that I had tried. I commented him and he put on a satisfying smile on his face.

I didn’t know how much time has passed and I started to realize that I had friends. I visited them. I dined with them. I became accustomed to their world; even it was a strange place to begin with. The guy who brought me there turned out to be a very important person. The people in authority paid him respect. I forgot his name; it was “Tian Eann” or “Tian Ji.” I just remember something about the “sky.” He also seemed to be my guardian and my hero. He protected me.

I could not remember how the dream ended or if it even had an end but I woke up clearly remember some details and I am writing it down.

… Another strange dream…
