Weird dream

Was very tired this morning so I went back to sleep after DD got up to go to work, which resulted in the following dream...

I dreamt tt DD and I were back in SGP and that we were going to spend the National Day weekend in Phuket with Princess Di and her bf. I think it might have been Wednesday or Thursday; we packed and went to work the next day.

We couldn't remember whether we were supposed to leave for Phuket that day, or the day after. Then Princess said she was going to have lunch with her bf before they boarded the boat (it suddenly became a trip to Tioman), but DD and I were still in the office working and we didn't have our bags with us.

So I went ahead to the jetty to meet Princess and her bf, while DD was still at the office finishing up some work. We went to report to the tour agent and bumped into a colleague SH and his gf, who for some reason was called Eunice in the dream.

The tour agent said we were just waiting for two more people i.e. DD and one other, so we waited around a bit. Then he decided to give out the room keys first, but somehow my name wasn't called. I asked what happened and was told that the hotel had screwed up our reservation so DD and I would need to try to get a room on the spot when we arrived.

People then started boarding the boat (which resembled one of those tugboats on the Singapore River). I sat down first, and Princess + bf sat behind me. Then some caucasian suddenly sat next to me. So I moved to the back of the boat to find a seat for both DD and myself, and ended up sitting near SH + gf.

Then I decided to get off the boat and walk around to look out for DD. That's when I bumped into my Filipino friends. I later got an SMS from him saying that my sister said that this year's NDP would have sakuras.

I decided to board the boat again but it wasn't there anymore. Another boat that looked like the boat that I had boarded earlier came to the jetty. I thought I saw Princess Di on it and I got onto it. Then I realised that it wasn't Princess and it wasn't the same boat.

*DUM DUM DUM*

I think that gave me a scare so I woke up.

Inspiration from reality
  1. Why National Day weekend - because it is this weekend.
  2. Why a holiday - DD and I were planning to go Dubai for a short holiday next weekend.
  3. Why Phuket - I had went to Phuket last month.
  4. Why Tioman - I think it might have actually supposed to be Batam or Bintan (where my Choir friends had been planning to go and would explain why we were taking a boat ride) but not sure exactly why it's Tioman. Maybe subconsciously I want to go Tioman again. Could be because DD and I recently recalled when we went Tioman.
  5. Why Princess + bf - I had chatted with Princess recently.
  6. Why SH + gf - DD and I had been looking at photos of SH and his gf on FB the evening before
  7. Why an SMS about what my sister said about NDP - My sister just went to watch the NDP preview + she likes to go see NDP fireworks.
  8. Why sakuras - When we realised yesterday that the Dubai hotel offer was no longer available, and a colleague in Tokyo replied to one of DD's random email, the thought came across my mind to go Japan for a holiday instead when we return to Singapore in Nov.
  9. Why my Filipino friends were there - The next work meeting was supposed to be in Manila.
So the only inexplicable part is why SH's gf is called Eunice.

Weird dream, wasn't it?
