Premonition about where I will be the next day

After a long time, finally I am making a new entry to this blog. Again, this is because this particular dream had to go in!

This is again a premonition. Now I have a neat collection of premonition-related dreams.

I had to drive into Manhattan to run an errand on Friday evening. Usually I take the Queensboro Bridge because it has no toll. But on that day, I had to beat the traffic and reach Manhattan as fast as I could. So I took the Midtown Tunnel. This is the first time that I had every taken the midtown tunnel. Since it has a toll, I had always avoided it.

Well, I came out of the tunnel and into Manhattan. I was at 35th St/3rd Ave. Right acrosst the street I saw a D'Agostino Supermarket. It looked familiar! I then remebered that about 12 years ago, a friend of mine lived on the next block 36th/3rd Ave. he used to do his grocery from this particular D'Agostino Supermarket that was just 1 block from his Apartment building.

Then the dream from last night came to my memory. I had forgotten it, but the sight of the supermarket brought the dream back to memory.

The dream is only in bits and pieces, so the main part in the dream is that I was visiting the friend in this same exact Apartment building! And look at this -- the next day I am 1 block away from that building. I was surprised at why in the world would I dream of a place that I had last visited 12 years ago?

Barack Obama dresses up for his inauguration

Well, another dream that becomes a reality. I keep dreaming daily -- nightly --- but just don't find the time to note them down more frequently on my blog. Now if a dream appears that just has to make it, then I do write it down like this one.

On thursday night, I dreamed a skinny black professor. I am his student. In the classroom, he started doing a dressing session. He went in and tried on suit after suit. All of us students were his judge.

We saw him in excellent suits and gave him feedback. We told him that he has to dress-up reall good all the time. That will fetch him respect from the public.

When I woke up the next morning, I thought that this professor resembled Barack Obama a lot.

Then I went to read the bbc website. I came upon an article about the dressing of the President-elect and his wife for the inauguration. Article said "There might be speculation about what Mrs Obama is picking for inauguration day, but it seems husband Barack has already made up his mind. He is thought to have opted for a suit and tuxedo from designers Hart Schaffner Marx."

I guess this is what I was dreaming about during the night!

Laughing at a joke, not at a person

This is not a dream. This thing happened today and it hit me hard. But it tickled me too. Nowadays I am above getting hurt at a personal level by another person. I have baked myself so well into the emotional oven, that I am as hard as a brick, and I don't take comments, behavior or feelings personally.

Everyone has faults. Most people have their own accents. Others find them funny. I find lot of funny accents. I make fun of them, laugh at them. But I have no malice in that. I laugh at the joke, the fun in that accent, not at that person.

Today a person took my laughter personally.

The story goes like this:

My friend has his own accent. He was speaking with me. He said "Do a vold and see the result.". It sounded like "Do a wall-d and see the result".

So I said "Are you saying I do a w-a-l-l-d ?".

He said "No, I said v-o-l-d".

Then I spontaneously burst out laughing. I never laughed at him. I just laughed at the joke that this confusion had turned into, and enjoyed the laughter.

But my friend took it personally.

Later the same day, I was talking about some topic. Now I forgot what it was about. But for some reason, I said "It is all fucKKED-up". With an intended stress on KKED. I know how to pronounce the word properly, but I just wanted to say it the way I did.

My friend caught me right there and made fun of my pronunciation. He made it a point to expose my lack of proper accent.

I want to clarify to my conscience that I had not laughed at him. When I spoke, I knew how to pronounce my word properly.

I feel sad that he took my laughter in the negative sense, while I had laughed whole heartedly -- looking at only the joke in the event. My laughter put poison into his brain cells. Alas, he would have also laughed with me at his simple and harmless lack of pronunciation, instead of trying to find fault in my pronunciation and getting back at me at the first chance.

This is not a court case. There is no winner, no loser. May he find peace.

My friend brought two houses and made a cool profit on one

My friend from NJ is celebrating the birthday of his daughter on Saturday the 26th of July. I guess that has been on my mind because yesterday night he was in my dreams.

But the dream had nothing to do with his daughter. In the dream, he told me that he had brought two houses at good prices. I asked him where did he get all this money for the down payment of two houses???

He said, "I took loan money from you and a few other guys, and used that to get a bigger loan from the bank. With that loan, I paid you guys back and also paid for the house down payment. I already sold one house when the price was high; and made a cool profit on it. And I use the other house to live-in. So I am saving on rent!".

I said, "That was a cool idea man!".

He said, "I am surprised none of you guys did anything like it."

Premonition about what is gonna happen tomorrow

This is an amazing premonition that I had on the night of Tuesday 15th going into Wednesday.

I go to work in Flushing, NY. We have an office in Woodside, NY where I have never had to go to work yet.

On Tuesday night, I dreamed that I was in the Woodside office. I was standing outside the building and then one of my co-workers from Flushing showed up. I saw him and greeted him.

Now in reality, I woke up on Wednesday morning and another co-worker called me up and told me that our boss had requested that me and him be in Woodside that day! So I actually did go to Woodside that day! And guess what, the co-worker who showed up later in Woodside did show up later in Woodside, just like I had dreamed about.

I call this a premonition.

Cousin's New house, renovating an old house

The whole of last week I was not able to sleep soundly. I was woken up by some or the other sound through every night during this week. By Friday, I was totally exhausted for lack of a nice night's sleep and you know what -- I had been not dreaming my full quota the whole week.

So Friday night I was very very tired and fell asleep really fast. The whole night was one complicated roller coaster ride of dreams. None were very disturbing, but they were just crowding into the night and I was overwhelmed because of the sheer non-stop occurrence of the dreams.

My brother had told me a week ago that our cousin brought a new house in the neighboring town. This dream looks like an offspring of that news. In the dream I went to this cousin's house and it was a twin house. We realized that he had brought 2 adjacent houses, just like we have. I entered one house and there was a connection into the next house from inside. This was quite a surprise and the combined two houses made the living space really huge. The floors were red and they had a nice front yard and a nice back yard.

Now the next dream crowded-in. Here I go to my neighbor's home in my hometown. They had recently done some renovation and I wanted to see how it came out. Turned out that they had increased the living space amazingly. They had combined the living room and the kitchen into one huge living area. They had laid some exquisite and never-before-seen tiles. Their design looked like mosaic tiles of the past, but they had a gloss as if they were laminated from the top. Also, the chunks of stones inside the design were heavenly beautiful colors and combinations. The tiles were not even the same size. They were all different sizes.

Then I went further in. They had used the earlier backyard and made it into a dining area. And there was another alcove where they had set-up the kitchen cooking area. This was kind of a combo spot that saved lot of space and gave you a small cooking area. They said that it was my Father-in-law's idea. I was surprised he even knew them.

Then I went further into the backyard. The backyard was a horrible mess. They were using it as a garbage dump. Literally garbage was strewn all over. I don't know where that came from :-)

Bizzare photo shoot

I was not posting stuff for more than 2 months. I was dreaming for sure, but just could not find the time to post any new dreams. yesterday night was such an interesting dream, I had to get it down on the blog.

This was one scary dream. Ok, i am going to be as discreet as I can, because I don't even want to think about this dream. But it is so bizarre, I want to write about it and get it out of my system!

There is this guy and a woman who are having sex right on the road. I am a cameraman and I am shooting this pair alongside a busy road. The woman asked him to show her his organ. He said "ok, wait a moment" and he walks towards me and goes past me.

Meanwhile, the public is passing by and having a free peep show at the woman.

I turned around my camera and saw this guy coming back. He had a small chainsaw in his right hand and although he was wearing a jeans, I could see his erection. He pulled his organ out and held it with one hand and cut it with the chainsaw. There was no blood. Just some white viscose substance came out and he took it in his hand and gulped it. Then he threw away his organ!

I head it land on the ground a few feet away from him. And at the same time I woke up! Boy, I felt so good this was just a dream!

Now here is the shocker:
I dreamed on 27th night. Now today I read this news that came in the paper on 29th April. It is like my dream come true!!!! Click the link below to check out the news:

In the woods with an Elephant that smokes weed

I been watching the movie Blood Diamond for the last few nights. I was watching it in parts. There was lot of jungle, wild animals, cruelty, killing and drug & alcohol abuse in the movie. I think this dream was a result of watching the movie.

Now this is one crazy dream. We own a huge house that is in the woods. My mother is cooking in the kitchen. My son told me "Dad, I think if we walk over here into the woods, we will find a good spot. It is supposed to be very thick woods in here!". I said "Ok, let's go".

We started walking into the woods, but my son along a path. Not into the thicket. It was easily visible from outside. My wife found us in the thicket, and said, "You are crazy both of you! You cannot find a better spot?"

We came out and went into another room.

There were two guys in that room. Both were smoking weed. They were high! They had a miniature elephant with them. The elephant was about 6 inches tall. He was white in color. I asked them "Is this a real elephant?".

Dude one asked dude two "Do you know if he is real?"

Dude two "Lemme check."

Dude two them lifted the elephant and examined him. Then he said "Look, he is breathing and moving. He is real and alive. You know, he is our maintenance-free pet."

I asked "What do you mean maintenance-free?"

Dude two "Well, we never feed him. All we do is that if we are not smoking, we use him as a holder. We shove the weed into his mouth and he holds it for us. We been doing this for so long, and he has been alive. No problems on that one."

I was shocked at their lack of emotions.
