QOTW: What Do Your Dreams Mean?

credit to the owner @ecotrain

I had a dream a long time ago that exists in my real life and this encourages me to write my story about it today.

I have been quite so busy and even until now. The pandemic changes many things adding workloads but I am still grateful that we are safe here and my family in my homeland.

A dream is a succession of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that usually occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. The content and purpose of dreams are not fully understood, although they have been a topic of scientific, philosophical, and religious interest throughout recorded history. Wikipedia

When I was 13 years old I dreamed of climbing the highest mountain somewhere. That was a place nowhere I don't know. I was starving, crying, crawling just to reach up above. I saw my goal of reaching the highest peak. There was a voice telling me not to look back. So I continue with my highest hope and goal.

In the middle part of the slope, I was tempted to look back and saw deep water. I didn't understand what kind of water, maybe a sea or a lake.

I took a rest and save energy for the goal. But, I slipped away and fall into the water. The stone that I stepped on kept me out of balance. I wondered that in my dream I fall but I was alive.

My dream woke me up. It was like a nightmare in the night. How could I imagine falling from the highest mountain?

Later on, after two weeks, I dreamed again with the same scenario but I reached the highest peak. I saw a beautiful place like heaven. I thought that it was a paradise and I thought I was already dead. I couldn't forget that two dream in a week.

I kept it until now. I don't tell anyone about it. Until yesterday, when I checked the post of @ecotrain, I recalled and refreshed my mind.

The meaning of my dream

Last night, I closed my eyes and gave an understanding of the meaning of it. I focused myself

I understood the fact that I tried to be successful, to help my family. I am the eldest among my sibling. We are poor but happy family.

I understood that the mountain that I was climbing was my ambition to be a successful teacher but I met a great mishap in my life. I got married unplanned to a guy younger than me. We built a family though we were too young. We tried so many potions in life to have a better life but I failed, we failed. Our budiness had gone. That was the sole reason why I came working abroad.

My second dream was about seeing a beautiful place like paradise. I condsidered it as my employment here. The employer I got, gave me better life. They considered me as member of their family.

Those beautiful flowers that I saw in my dream, I consider it as the success of my siblings and son. Then my son have a two beautiful daughters and a wife.

Last 2013, I went to the highest mountain of Saudi Arabia, the Holy mountain when I performed Hajj/pilgrimage. I thought it was the mountain that I climbed in my dream. The Holy mountain near the Holy mosque of Makkah Mukarama has an historical stories few have known. I heard that the mountain was the mountain where Adam and Eve stayed before. I don't know if it is true or not. The point of view on my story that I considered it as the mountain in my dream before.

Only God knew everything in me. If I have still another mountain to climb, I hope it could be the finale. And I hope I could find the real happiness.

My real life and dream is always struggling. Even in my dream, I don't see myself smiling. It is always in the state of more trials just like on my real life.

Thank you @ecotrain for tbis good question this week. I miss writing again.

Merry Christmas and Prosperous 2021 New Year!

Hive on!
