Post-Valentine Post

The lights and sounds. Last Friday the usual tranquil ground of San Clemente church was agitated by the sound of pop music and colorful lights. Upon asking my friend who was a former student of the San Clemente Catholic school, I found out that that was a Post-Valetine celebration of the school. What the heck?! I exclaimed. Well they do have a point calling it "post"-Valentine even though it's a "bit" late. Anyway, the said event has no effect on my life whatsoever except for giving me an idea for this entry's title. Now on to the Post-Valentine Post…

The Dream of One Summer Night
the oneiric reality I have no control

Now this is just so weird. Lately, you could say I have been dreaming of my dream girl. It occured thrice already and it just felt so real. Now stop it with weird perverted thoughts if that what you're thinking, it's nothing like that. It's a dream that's a bit sad when I think about it.

I'm not really into the romantic mood lately even though February is supposed to be the month of love. I'm really a hopeless romantic ain't I? Haha…Anyway, these dreams…I feel pathetic in it even though it's supposed to be my oneiric reality. Most dreams will evaporate upon waking up but these dreams somehow made it to my long-term memory bank.  In those dreams it's always me unable to talk to her even though we are really close. She won't talk back to me even if I did manage to talk.

That was just so pathetic, I wonder what my dream is telling me. I googled up "dream" to find out that it's called recurring dream. Wikipedia told me that…

While the content of most dreams is dreamt only once, most people experience recurring dreams—that is, the same dream narrative is experienced over different occasions of sleep. Up to 70% of females and 65% of males report recurrent dreams. Such dream patterns are often associated with stressful events, and for some dreamers have been prodromal—that is, indicative of a health problem.

What the heck? This further confused me so I'm dropping the idea of elaborating on this one - I don't want to write and then suddenly realize what that "stressful event" is and what possible health problem will be bugging me in the near future.

So anyway, I'm really clueless as to why I'm having such a dream so if anyone there an oneiricologist or something please do help out.

Byousoku 5 Centimeter

Do you know the speed…

..at which cherry blossoms fall?

At what speed must I live…

…to be able to see you again?

Byousoku 5 Centimeter is one of the anime movies that I have been looking forward to this season. It's a collection of 3 short stories in breath-taking animation. The one above is the trailer for the first of the Byousoku 5 Centimeter stories. I have yet to see a subbed version though so I'm really really really anxious right now as to when the subbed one be released.
