In the beginning of my dream, I was in Japan and attending college classes. There was this guy in the corner which I later found out that he was observing me, documenting my actions and making hypotheses about me. He had recordings, photographs, and graphs on his white laptop. Odd eh. Later on I found out that he was a part of an organization and he was thinking of recruiting me? Not to mention I had a group of guys chasing me with weapons earlier. I think one had slashed one of my arms with a miniature scythe or ax while I was making a get away in the library. Somehow I ended up somewhere in Vietnam with my parents and younger siblings. We were on this wet tour or cruise. Everyone was in t-shirts and shorts or their bathing wear. We were on those white ski boats except it was more rectangular and ghetto. It was all water resistant, so plastic. The instructor was also the driver. He told us to hold on tight and that we were in the hippos' area. They were quite dangerous and to steer clear of them. We hit a bump in the water that sent most of the passengers overboard. I, being one of them. Doing something I had never been able to back then when he tried to teach me, I opened my eyes underwater. The water was a sky blue color, the one you find in pools. I sank all the way to the floor, and propelled myself to the surface. In the process I saw this huge, silver grey, clean hippo swim above me with his mouth open, revealing perfectly formed white teeth. It wasn't aggressive nor peaceful. It seemed a bit assertive so I swam as quickly as I could to the surface. The boat was right next to me so I jumped on, thankful nothing bad occurred.
I looked up symbolic meanings because I don't think any of those things are going to happen to me anytime soon. literally. The hippos symbolized hidden strength and power. The clear water meant peace, serenity, and purity. Being underwater stood for the deep exploration into the unconscious mind. I guess I can make sense of this part. I probably do have a hidden strength somewhere. May it be with coping, mentality, or succeeding in studies. My feelings aren't murky, they're pretty aloof so I guess that clear waters represents that. The exploration into the unconsciousness, I think that may be related to last night when I asked my uncle about guys' mentality since I was trying to decipher someone's actions.
Did not want to get out of bed at all this morning. Finished up English worksheet I missed yesterday in class. Worked on my coin bank, got it almost done. Just gotta finish one or two more rows of petals then add on the lily pad. Didn't really study for my math nor Japanese test but I'm pretty sure I got a low B and an A, respectively. Heard that my personal business was going around. Okay, wtf? Why the hell are you spreading it around? Especially when you and your girl went through the same shit. Two, the people that it spread to: shut your face. Don't go spreading people's business. You wouldn't like it if I did it with yours either.
