Dreaming of Butterflies

While sleeping, our minds create images - illusions may I say. We were made to believe that we are in the world our mind has created us. We were bound in a movie, a show, our mind has created, but do they mean anything? Do dreams really portray or tell us something? Do they tell future events? The purpose of dreams are really ambiguous. However, dreams can be interpreted. But what does mine tell me? I don't know, but here's how my dream went.

I was walking with this guy, i barely remember how he looks like, how he stood, if he was my height or if he was taller, all i know that his skin was kind of pale. We were walking in a grassy plain when suddenly i found a bunch of flowers - as far as i could remember, they were either persimmon red or white. I held one in my palm then a white butterfly came dropping by. I asked the guy, "if there are many flowers out here, how come there aren't plenty butterflies around?". He answered me, he told me something i couldn't remember. All i know is that he told me something. Then I stood up and looked around to see that we were standing in the middle of a field of flowers, colorful and bright, with hordes of white butterflies flying around us.

How can that be interpreted

Flowers : To see colorful flowers in your dream, signify kindness, compassion, gentleness, pleasure, beauty, and gain. It is also symbolic of perfection and spirituality. Your dream may be an expression of love, joy and happiness.

Butterflies : To see a butterfly in your dream, denotes your need to settle down. Butterflies signify creativity, romance, joy and spirituality. You may be experiencing a transformation into a new way of thinking. It is also a symbol of transformation. It also means rebirth after death.

does this mean that because of passion, love, and happiness, people tend to transform? though they may not be seen - ignored - thousands of transformations occur due to the strong passion and love that linger in our hearts, and because of the longing for happiness. I don't know, I can't be sure.

Alarm Trouble

ALARM TROUBLE

Buzzed from all the practices, all the dancing, all the stretching, and all the lifts, I set the alarm on my phone to 4:00am tomorrow for my 6:30am Physical Education class. I guess two hours of preparation is enough - 15 minutes for eating, 20 minutes for showering, 25 for dressing up, and an hour for travelling. I would be arriving there 30 minutes early. I slipped my phone under my pillow as I tucked myself to sleep.

I was in an open field of wild tall grass. I found myself wearing my No Fear baseball cap and sporting a low ponytail. Moments later, I heard someone sneaking meters away from my right. I saw a shadow, seemingly of a man, slightly taller than me and has a broader shoulders than mine. Running around me in circles, it moved with such great speed. I glanced to my right as I felt a whisper of air and saw a ball flying straight towards me.

My cell phone rang, waking me from that weird - thrilling - dream. Or was it a nightmare? My eyes were still heavy, my hands idle, and the sky still dark. I didn't feel like getting up already so I snoozed my alarm, setting it to alarm again after 15 minutes.

Did I have a dream after that? I can't remember. All I know is that I fell asleep until my dogs downstairs started barking uncontrollably. There must be someone at the door, I thought. I quickly got up, ignoring my bushy fluffy hair standing on its ends, and went downstairs. No one's there. The dogs were just barking at some random cat strutting along the road. The houses were still dark, no lights were on yet. It was silent. I couldn't hear anything except for the ticking of the clock that read that it was already 7:00am. 7:00am?! That can't be, I thought. I must have overslept. I am going to miss my PE class. There's nothing I could do anymore but to accept the fact that no matter what I do - no matter how fast I will eat, if I will take a shower or not - I would still miss my PE class. I was an hour away from school, and no matter how quick I would act, I would still come in late. There's no point in trying. I sat on my bed and gave one heavy sigh. "That was one useful alarm"
