Had a really interesting night...  multiple dreams...  Seems like an external force (or forces) is trying to send me a message...  

Putting it up here for the record.  If ever... something may happen in the future.  ^^

The first dream...  
I was playing basketball... with a few guys... and my dad.  Somewhere along the game, my dad fouled me.  If you don't know about basketball, a foul is when you get touched in the hand by your opponent as he is trying to steal the ball from you.  Usually its an accidental slap on your wrist as he tries to steal the ball.   

We were playing in some covered basketball court.  
I was made to do a free throw shot.  I asked my dad... if this is the right net that I should shoot that ball in.  He said yes.  And also the other guys said yes.  That is the right net.  

So I did the free throw.  Before I threw the ball... I saw that the beam is low... and it would block my shot if I threw it the way I usually throw it.  So I figured I'd have to throw it in a different way.  Straight and quick.  To the net.  And so I did.  And the ball just ended up hitting the board and not even hitting the ring.  

And then the dream "flashed" to the next scene...  I was dribbling the ball...  my dad was playing defense and he was trying to steal the ball from my hand.  He's pretty good in defense.  Even if you are quick on your feet, you'd still have a difficult time getting through him.  

This time, the basketball court wasn't covered.  It was outdoors... a basketball court in the middle of wild grass.  Really tall grass that is taller than a human being...  tall enough to hide a large ambush party... something like this:

So... I planned to go straight under the basketball net.  Because I know from experience that if I do that, the defender would slack off and back off (90% of the time)... because he'll think that I'll just pass under the net and pass the ball or go outside again to try again.  But you see, I have learned that from under the net, you should do a very good and very accurate reverse hoop shot.  

And so I pursued that plan.  Went under the net.  But then something went wrong.  The ball accidentally hit me on the knee as I was dribbling and running... and the ball went out of bounds... and the ball got lost.  

And so... me and my dad... tried searching for the ball...  in the tall grass...  To no avail.

Second dream...  the back of some rural area house in what seemed like the Philippines.  
In the backyard I saw a cat.  So I went to the cat and tried to talk to it.  Of course I dont talk to cats like I talk to humans... I just "meow" in different tonalities... and cats understand me.  

The cat was a black and white cat.  Evenly distributed black and white patches.  As in... if you mix up that same equal amount of black and white while mixing paint... you'd get the perfect gray.  

The cat decided to jump inside one of the old boxes for some reason...  and it allowed me to pet it.  Cats love being stroked from the top of the head all the way to the tip of their tail... which would rise up and get stiff.  

Then the cat looked at me.  It spoke directly to my mind.  Mental telepathy.  The cat said...  "What am I to you?"  

"A cat."  I replied.  

"Define a cat."

"A cat is a four legged animal that meows and has whiskers and a tail and it purrs."

"Silly human.  You love to just put names on things without even realizing the true essence of what they are..."  Then the cat continued lecturing me repeating the same point many different ways... as if to insist that it is NOT A CAT!!!   

Then my brother manifested right beside the cat.  As in... MAGICALLY JUST APPEARED.  He was just standing there like a statue.  Like a zombie.  His eyes not even looking at me.  

And then I turned my head...  I saw a large dog pen...  a box-like enclosure made of metal bars and it was standing on metal stilts.  Many dogs inside the enclosure.  

One dog is chained to a metal pole a bit far from the dog pen.  The chained dog to the metal pole was very aggressive.  Trying to escape and just loudly barking and snapping its teeth.  Dogs in the dog pen were all asleep.  

Anyway...  dad suddenly entered the scene.  He was walking near the dog pen for some reason.  It looked like he was trying to look for something.  

And then I saw a hidden dog... underneath the dog pen.  It was a large dog... it looked as if its about to ambush my dad.  

And so I yelled at my dad.  I warned him.  And he was able to get away.  

And then my dad thanked me for warning him.  

Second dream over.

Third dream...

I was watching TV and in the TV was a documentary about scientists creating a "test tube baby".  The documentary talked about the wonderful miracle of creating human life... etc. etc. etc.

I remember seeing a glass kettle that looked like a Salvation Army kettle.  It looked like this:

And in that kettle was a baby being formed.  From a bunch of cells... forming into a fetus...

The documentary went on and on speaking of the miracle of creating human life... how life is a precious beautiful gift... etc. etc. etc.  

Then all the times I spoke about how bad it is to bring a child to the world... I've said that many times in the past...  all of it were "replayed" in my head as if to drive down a point to me and embarrass me to myself.  

Most specifically the time I was in the car with a coworker of mine...  when the conversation went into stuff about family, I was like... "Buddy... I know you are a dad...  and feel free to disagree with my own personal opinion.  You see... I think that bringing children into the world is cruel.  This world is an ugly place.  And I feel guilty to bring children into this world.  Thats just my opinion, bud...  no hard feelings... I've got nothing against you and I respect your choice to be a dad... etc. etc. etc."  That scene kept repeating itself.  

Then woke up.  Dream over.

There was some tears in my eyes when I woke up.  Felt as if I had a 4th dream.  But the details of the 4th dream escape me.  But it was a dream that put tears in my eyes.
