Our enemy has driven us from the surface and many of us hide underneath the ground. Soon we build home and community underground. We don’t drive like our ancestors once did on the surface of Earth. Some of us ride on a robot that is five times our size. That is how we travel. At least some of us do.
After a rather long ride, I land onto one of our settlements. I park my robot and walk to my favorite music store – HMV. It is crowded. Full of people as usual. There are not many places like where I am no more. Damn those enemies of ours.
Suddenly, an alarm rings. Everyone flee in panic, in all directions. I run to my robot knowing that once again, our enemy has found our base. I need to run for I am carrying something of huge importance known to me and a few other scientists. Our enemy is not coming after our settlement. They are coming after me.
I mount my robot and shoot up to the sky. Pass the surface – the forbidden place for human being – and into the galaxy. Trailing behind me are the troop of our enemy – all ride in robots.
I pass one star after another. I go as fast and far as I can but soon, I am surrounded. I see hundreds of our enemy surrounding me. Indeed, I am trapped. Indeed, I have nowhere else to flee.
I take out my precious – an atomic bomb that has enough power to destroy myself together with our enemy. This is the moment that I live for … I detonate my precious and …
I find myself in a town I am unfamiliar of. Somewhere that looks like Japan. And I meet my friend there. We are looking at a construction site, or rather a demolition site. We see a roll of workers all dancing and singing, at the rims of different levels within a building that is hollow from the inside. All of a sudden, a worker drops from what seems like a five or six stories high. Everyone gasp and there is a police car right outside as though the policemen have anticipated such a freak accident. They take the victim into the car and presumably, they are heading towards the hospital. I see a hole in his head. Meanwhile, the workers are now back to dancing and singing. How strange.
My friend and I continue the walk and at one junction, right beside the market, I see a showroom. I say to my friend: One day I am going to own one of those vehicles.
I love to drive; I love to fly.
PS. I had this dream way before I watched the movie “Iron Man”. Observant readers may realize that the episodes of the category “Fragments of My Dreams” are not in running number. Well, I always try my best to space out blog entries that are not time sensitive. Some do get stuck inside my ‘dusty shelf’ for a long time.
Why today? Believe it or not, my blogging pipeline has been chocked by a few massively time consuming entries – or rather personal projects – that take a lot longer than my plan. And it is my desire to update my site at least once in two days’ time, if not everyday. Stay tuned!

How come you have so many dreams wan? I want to dream of my idols and do fun things with them but don’t have such luck. What did you do to have so many dreams? The Food you eat?
ECL – I am also not so sure why I often remember my dreams vividly (everybody dreams I think). Some dreams don’t quite make up a storyline at all but for those that do, I thought it is quite fun to pen them down.
As for you rather … unusual request, I would suggest you go and watch a movie of Takeshi Kaneshiro or Keanu Reeves right before you go to sleep and perhaps that may invoke some sort of wild imagination inside your dreamland?
While you are at it, try to remember the dream, can? 🙂
Hahaha… good suggestion.. IF I have dreams with either Takeshi or Keanu in it, not only will I try to remember, I’ll also to try to expand or enhance the story line !
Cynthia – OK, that I don’t want to know … ha ha ha.
