PRINCESS

My sweet little Princess Sandy has nightmares quite frequently. When she is having it, she will whimper in her sleep. I wonder what she dreams of.

THE LEGEND OF HERCULES

I was a fan of Kellan Lutz since The Twilight saga movies and I still am. However, I was quite sure his movie "The Legend of Hercules" would not propel him to the same league as Robert Pattinson and true enough, this movie wasn't a hit and I think it fared poorly at the box office.

Starring Kellan Lutz as Alcides, otherwise known as Hercules, Gaia Weiss, Scott Adkins and so on, the story was slightly different from the ones that I know of. Kellan often played minor forgettable roles in other movies such as "The Twilight" saga, "Immortals" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and this is one of few movies where he played the lead role. Sadly, with his bulky built-up body with ripped muscles, he wasn't charismatic enough and wasn't able to draw the audience with his acting. I can't explain why but I guess it is one of those either you can make it or you don't scenarios.

On a personal level, I didn't think the movie was bad and I did enjoy it although if one was comparing it to the Twilight saga, then it wouldn't be good enough.

NIGHTMARE

I had a weird nightmare last week and almost forgot about it, so I better post about it before even the slightest pierce of the puzzle dissipates from my mind.

I think I was on a holiday in the dream. And all that I remember was I was swimming with a friend along a coast next to a beach, much like those seen in the Survivor tv series. Originally, there seemed to be a lot of people wading in the same area as us but out of a sudden, I don't understand why the people turned into hungry looking crocodiles. Their snouts and evil eyes were bobbing in and out of the water and they were closing in on us with slightly ajar jaws. I panicked because I have never been in the company of a crocodile, much less so many crocodiles.

Fortunately, that was when I woke up. I don't want to know how it feels like to be eaten alive by a crocodile, even if it is a nightmare.

NIGHTMARE

I had a nightmare this morning and woke up feeling confused. In the dream, I was with a friend. I felt a itch on my head, so I scratched it with my hand. But out of a sudden, a large piece of my hair fell out onto the floor, much like those depicted in cancer victims when they get freaked out by the falling hair.

Naturally I freaked out too in the dream. Why would my hair dropped off without any warning signs or symptoms, I kept asking myself? I bent down to pick up the hair to have a closer look and to my surprise, they were all sort of knitted together onto several pieces of velcro-like material. Then it dawned on me that they were hair pieces. My friend commented that he didn't know that I wore a wig. I was astonished beyond words because I too didn't know that I was wearing a wig or sporting artificial hair pieces.

So there I stood, trying to recall when it all started. Somehow, I vaguely remembered that I started wearing it after my mum brought me to see a hair specialist a long time ago but completely forgot about it until the hair pieces dropped off.

It all seemed so real and that was when I woke up. Fortunately, everything was just a nightmare and my hair is intact! But, I remember watching on tv the night before in the mediacorp tv serial that this psychopathic girl had a big bald patch on the middle of her head and she was wearing a wig. That was the closest thing that I thought could have triggered this stupid dream.

Such is the power of the mind. Even though I wasn't preoccupied with the bald look, but somehow my mind picked that up at that instant when I saw the image on tv and translated it into a dreamscape. But why? What is the significance, I wonder?

My warped mind used to think that the dream world is a portal to another parallel universe where we exist. When I dreamed of ghosts in the past, I used to think they were real and thought we could see the other dimension only in our dreams. How else can we explain that the dreams are so convincingly real when we are in the deep slumber yet when we wake up from it, we know it is not?
