took a nap just now and had a dream.

i dreamt that my house caught fire.

i was alone in the house but at certain parts, seem like there's someone else together with me, very vague. it's not the current house i live in that caught fire, it was the one i lived in previously at teban gardens. the internal layout was different but i could recognize the carpark and the main road. i used to live on the 12th floor (i still do) but in this dream, i lived on the 3rd or 4th floor. 4 = die in cantonese.

i ran down the stairs, banged on every door shouting "fire! fire!". seem like no one is at home. at one house, a lady responded, her face was a blur, dont know how she looked like. i did the most ungentlemanly thing, i told her: " you run UP the stairs and inform everyone, i go DOWN and call for fire engine." she nodded and we parted ways. wonder where i learnt that from and what happen to my handphone?

i remember calling 995 from a public phone. while waiting for help, i stood on the ground floor, looking at the flat on fire. i did not see any flame but smoke was billowing out. help arrived in the form of 1 fire engine. lots of firemen got into action. interesting thing is most of them were malays. i dont usually dreamt abt them. see, for my dreams, i had multi racial cast. a bit stereotyping but no discrimination ;p

the only thoughts running in my mind then were: "damm! i should have gotten a fire insurance!!! with the claim, i could have change my wardrobe and buy new furniture!!! my lecture notes are all gone. need to photocopy from frens."

forgot something, our dear PM was among the brave firemen. he was wearing the standard pap uniform, white shirt with white pants and black belt. was he on a walkabout and decided to join in the excitement?

after the fire had been fought, i spotted 2 of my former npcc seniors among the firemen. think i got went to say hi. think they laughed at me...

went up to the flat, puddles of water everywhere. surprisingly, the walls were not blackened, nothing get burned up, just that the whole house was flooded with water. i proceeded to clean up the mess and then my younger bro returned home...

when did i have a bro?

anyone know how to interpret the dream?
