Dream: War but I was late

5/26/2021, There was a war and my US Army unit left without me. They were engaged in a fierce battle. I was trying to find them but in doing so I’ve also met the enemies by myself but they were not able to notice that I was one of their enemy.

Dream: Dad’s Secret Antibiotic Medicine

 

May 16, 2021. My dad (Hernando Arcayan) had a healing antibiotic medicine in his system. There was a goat that was sick and he scraped a substance from his tongue and gave it to the sick goat. The goat instantly got well. After my investigation, I found that the source of his antibiotic supply was he swallowed dollar paper bills regularly, doing so produced the antibiotic in his mouth.

When dad was gone, I inherited his technique but was producing a minimal amount since I did not have lots of dollar bill. One day, I had so many at one time and then I swallowed too many that I could not breathe, I had to take some from my mouth so that I can process the dollar bill into my stomach. Then I started producing antibiotics just like my dad.

Dream: House Entry Must Pass Water

April 27, 2021. We came across a house in which me and Britta must pass a small shallow canal (knee deep) in order to get into the house perimeter. We must dip our feet into the water, there is no other way. No bridge or pathway available over the water.

Dream: Me and Britta Stranded in Ormoc + Ball Inauguration

Dream #1, Me and Britta stranded in Ormoc. February 21, 2021. On our way to Cebu, A sister of my classmate in Ormoc needed to borrow our ML350. So while we were waiting, we were told to wait inside the couples friend with two boys, one shy and the other outgoing. The wife was a housewife and the husband is a technical handyman. Upon entering the house, the house showed signs that this family is a unique prepper, from the outside, the house looks like it’s made of rice straws bundled together but inside was a well designed spacious beautiful house with two large opening inside but no doors. In the house were black boxes that looked like a sound equipment, many of them stacked neatly in one corner. The inside house wall was made of Mactan stones but covered with traced art work. It was all over the house. It was 10pm, already and it was time already to leave to pickup the car.

We rode a pedicab from Cogon to Bonifacio St. There were 4 passengers and 1 driver. The pedicab had 3 row sitting and the back was empty. Me and Britta sat at the front together and on the 2nd row was two male/female stranger. When the male passenger reached his destination, me and Britta requested that we transferred to the back row. The female in the 2n d row protested that we should not do that. Took a while … but I realized that she wanted to stay in the 2nd row privately because she was with the driver and they don’t want us to notice them. So we stayed at the front row for the trip.

Upon arrival at the Bonifacio Street, the person who borrowed our car was cleaning the dashboard. She told us that she throw up while driving and has debris in the dashboard. Without questions, we helped her clean the car and left.

Dream #2. Ball Celebration

Me and Britta was invited to President Biden’s inauguration ball. It was held in a large warehouse building (not fancy) but every wall was a video projected to what actually happened in our life. It was like a museum of life but only in videos.

Outside was a large musical instrument with a mechanical air pump. The trumpet players does not need to blow air to their instrument which made their playing of music so easy.

Dream: US Army Bootcamp Retraining

 

US Army Bootcamp Retraining. I was back to bootcamp training. At first I separated myself from the group, but during the weapons training, I joined to a larger group of trainees. I was already fully trained of the task that we were learning. I just needed a refresher to remember how to assemble the M16 rifle. I used to perform this task so good but I just forgot the steps due to a long time of not performing the disassembly and assembly.

Dream: Large Warplane Swallowing Smaller Enemy Plane + Door From The Sky

20210209. I was in Merida discussing something about how to defend the place peacefully. All of a sudden, the sky was filled with variety of planes. It was an assorted tiny planes in various size. The leader of our group ordered to draw our weapons and aim for the planes in the sky. We then started shooting airplanes using our rifles from the ground and many planes just fell off from the sky. When the plane was over our head, I said the word, the war just started. Following the fleet of enemy planes was a very large airplane that looks like a machine swallowing each tiny enemy airplanes. At one time, debris was falling from the sky but we managed to get away from a large door that fell from the sky.

Dream: Tight Shower Room

I was in a house where the shower room was so small I can barely move myself inside when taking a shower. The wall of the shower is made of glass – all four side.

Dream: Boat Ferry Ride on a Bike

 

I was on my road bike when I boarded into an interisland ferry boat without purchasing a ticket. I went inside the loading deck and realized that I did not purchase a ticket. So I went to the ticket office (rushing) and purchase a ticket. There was no line since the ferry was already boarding and I could see the last few people boarding.

Dream: Uncle Eter’s House Rice Distribution

Stayed at uncle Eter’s house
Sneaked out early in the morning for a bike ride
House is old outside
House is nice inside
There was a doctor inside with a machine
Inside was a remodeled house, but one side is a new building with a Rice distribution
House is so huge inside
Bags of rice left outside

Dream: Brent DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) Code

I was in Merida when a house helper relayed the message she received a message from Brent telling me that he is returning home due to the Yukon making noise and have a DTC code in the dashboard.

The word DTC is the only message in the dashboard.

Dream: Old friend Bing Medicine + Rice

20210103, An old friend Bing was in our bedroom at the edge of our bed and he was about to drink his multi tablets medicine when I offered a spoonful of rice to ease out the intake of the medicine. He took it in front of me and Britta and was so delighted with the rice because it made the medicine feels easier to swallow/take in.

Dream: My Truck Was In The SHop

20210102. My car was in the shop. I was riding at the back portion of the passenger jeepney where I was sitting near the edge and holding both hands in the rail. The driver was the fixer of the car. He was driving so fast that I told/yelled at him to slow down. We stopped by at his house to picked up his child. I was in the couch when this young lady started talking behind me but I could not see her face. It turned out that this lady was showing an approached behavior. After a few minutes later the lady finally showed her face. The driver/fixer invited me for dinner at his palace like dining table.

Dream: US Army Reinforcement Group

20210102, I was back in the Army as part of the support group fighting a war. There were many soldiers from different walks of life being there involuntarily. Company B was the main company that we were helping. There was a ceremony that took place before we deployed to the battlefield. The person in charge was calling each name like a roll call of who is present or absent. Every time a name was called, there was no response because the soldier was already killed in action. Their name were written in a visible board where everyone can see. We were there for Company B as part of the reinforcement but just waiting. At one time we waited all day doing nothing. We were waiting for orders to be deployed. No one was doing anything but just discussing personal stories. At some point, the place where we stayed became so quite. When a partner of mine looked around every body was gone. We started hiking looking for the entire Company and found them at a distance doing nothing. My partner ran so fast and left me and I have to catch up with him. In the end, I found him rejoined the group doing nothing. When we were about to leave, he instructed me not to forget the light bulb that he placed in a pole. He made a light pole to illuminate the place we stayed with a bulb that was connected by an extension cord. The bulb was not the normal incandescent bulb, it was a special halogen bulb which is like a spot light pointed in one direction. We were still not in the battlefield and just waiting for military orders. It feels like it was all like a waiting game since the war was close to be over.

Dream: IrP Party

I attended IrP party but not properly dressed. I was a stranger at first but became part of the preparation. I then went home to changed my clothes and saw a peloton of cyclist riding and a few are my previous classmates in high school. My parents was there fully formally dressed. When I got back from the party, I was the object of the envy and Ir became closer to me.

Dream: 2006 ML350 Driving To Busy Farm Market

I think this is part3 of the ML350 dream. I needed to meet a Samsung coworker who was inside the middle of a farm market where people sell their goods in the old fashioned way. The road was narrow and filled with people selling vegetables and assorted goods. In order to meet him, I have to wave though the busy stalls of the sellers who was blocking the road. I finally met him and had a conversation. After the conversation, I have to go though that same busy road again to get out of the farm market. END

2006 ML350 Accidentally Placed Into A Shop By Mistake

20201121, Saturday Morning around 0600, I was sleeping on/off that night since I went to bed early in preparation for my 40 miles weekly cycling on Saturday. During the In between state of being awake and sleep, I fell into a very interesting dream state. I was in a busy city which I could not tell where. I was driving the old 2006 ML350 and I kept looking for a parking space since it was hard to find a parking spot.  I finally found a space, a very tiny one right beside a grocery store. I parked the car and went on to my business.  When I was done with my business, I came back to where I parked the car and it was gone. I started asking the nearby store if they saw who took my car. The owner of the grocery store, an Asian lady told me that her brother owns the shop and where I parked is a parking space for customer who drops off their broken cars for repairs.  He brought me around the the huge building where it looks like a big open space restaurant full of people. The place was a combined repair shop hidden underground, a robotic automated underground valet parking and on the first floor is a gathering place filled with people in large tables talking, eating and socializing. I talked to the owner of the shop who was with a group of people in one of the large table and shared my story. He told me not to worry because my car did not have a work order and so it was not worked on. He explained that he just need to find my car in the automated valet list but it is buried deeply in the automated parking lot since there were new customers in the restaurant that came in. I have to wait a few minutes for the automated valet system robot to pick up my car. After a few minutes of waiting, my car arrived just like it was when I left it. It still has the broken repaired front grill on it. END

Dream: Undercover Agent

20201104, Wednesday Post Election. I was accused of some crime and was interrogated but was given a task to look for a YMCA building to drop off something. I ran around looking for it but couldn’t find it. One person came and asked me because he noticed that I am missing some information in my records. Then later a coworker of mine revealed my true identity as an undercover agent.

Dream: Jeepney Ride Lapu-lapu; Baby Delivery

Dream#1: Jeepney Ride Lapu-lapu to Cebu then Lapu-lapu
20201102,Monday. I was waiting for a jeepney ride to Lapu-lapu and was waiting for the trip in a restaurant.  The jeepney was parked inside the restaurant. The driver-owner realized that there was no passenger for Lapu-lapu and decides to change the route to Cebu instead.  I agreed the idea and so he changed the route to Cebu.  While waiting inside the restaurant, people started coming and then as the number of people increases in the restaurant, I realized that the jeepney will not be able to leave since there are more people in the restaurant eating and the jeepney is parked inside the restaurant and cannot get out.

Dream #2: Assisted a baby delivery   
I was with a pregnant lady when she went into a scheduled delivery.  The doctor was not fit and was drunk and vomited a beige like substance on the table that covered the delivery operating table.  As I watched him struggle to clean up, I helped him cleanup the mess.

Dream: My dog was waiting for me and complaining

I, Rigel G. Arcayan, took a nap at noon of October 16, 2020 1429, Day 15 of my 25-day vacation and self-quarantine due to my trip to Los Angeles, California last week. During the quick nap, I had a dream that as I came home from work, my Doberman was waiting for me and started jumping on me all excited and trying to get attention. The dog spoke and told me that he had been waiting for me for such a long time (complaining) and was starving… I forgot to leave him food. The dog then ran out from the house and broke the leash. …

Minutes later I heard the roaring sound of the garage door opened near my office, Britta just arrived.

Interpretation:
There are forgotten people in my circle waiting for me to come home. Not sure who these people are. Well, they have to wait for 2023.

Dream: Obscure Bathroom

Date: April 19, 2020
I was in a poor city doing chores and running an errand. I needed to go to the bathroom so I started asking around. First person says, “go straight and the bathroom is on the left”. When I got there I was confused because there was “no left” to turn to. It was a dead end and a closed door and beside it on the right was a staircase. Since the first person said “on the left”, I did not use the stairs, I instead opened the door and entered.
As I entered inside, it was a small market for common people (not the modern grocery store).  It was organized and produced were neatly displayed but the ambience is so simple and not extravagance. I continued to look for the bathroom but I could not find it there. So I kept looking and found another door on the left where a lady was holding it for me, she was just leaving the other side and entering the common marketplace. Behind the door was a modern store with walls of glass where you can see everything. This is another store but for luxury things. I asked another person who was from this store of where the bathroom is. He pointed to the left corner. I walk in but I could not not see the men’s bathroom sign, only the women’s. I asked again the same person and he pointed me to a door and said “there”. I was confused because it does not looked like a bathroom, it has missing walls where you can be seen from the outside and it was not a modern bathroom. It appeared as the old bathroom from the common market. Since I really need to go to the bathroom, I went inside and relieve myself. As I peed, the open walls started closing. The person who helped me to find the door closed it for me for privacy.

Dream: Underwater Bus Travel

Date: April 1, 2020
I was on a traveling on a bus from one island Merida to the nearby island Camotes island. As we were approaching the pantalan, I did not see any ferry around, it was empty. The driver of the bus kept maintaining the speed and I thought that we are going to jump off the pantalan. But minutes later the driver did not let off the gas and we hit the water. The bus kept traveling as normal and the driver did not panic. We can see the beautiful blue undersea and all the marvels out in the deep ocean. Then all of a sudden, we hit a steep ramp and we started climbing up slowly and we hit the surface of the water, and then we saw the pier in the other side. We were in a different modern city with people living as normal. We saw another bus where the water got inside and flooded the floor and their shoes and boots were filled with water. In our bus, it was dry because the bus was water tight and all door were tested for underwater travel

In that same bus, there was an Asian family that travels, a son, a daughter, a mother, a father and a grandmother. I was outside when I met two FBI agent talking and the older agent was bragging that he is training this new guy. He was describing all the actions that the other was doing at the moment the execution of action was happening. They were looking for a suspect inside the restaurant where the bus passengers were having dinner. Finally, the junior agent grab the child of the group and detained her. The bus is about to continue the travel but the daughter is detained. The mother forcefully choose to stay instead of continuing the travel.

Dream: US Army reEnlistment

Date: March 29,2020

I re-enlisted
I was late already in the re-enlistment
I turned in my Yukon to a young recruit to let him park it and had doubts if he was the one in charge and thinking that he will be using it for fun during off time
I reside far from the barracks and realize I needed my truck but could not get to it
I needed to get my uniforms from the store instead from the Army supplies
I looked and feel young and having no doubts that I can pass the PT test
At one time, I saw new recruits dressed for a night dance while I choose to not go

Dream: Unskilled Painter Day 0046

Dream#003 – The Unskilled Painter
*I was a participant of a well-known painting contest
*In the preparation room, we gathered all the things needed for the contest and I have everything I need but when I saw the judges’ list (an empty paper with 2 columns and 6 rows table) that we are suppose to fill out, I could not remember their names nor know their names.
*When I entered the museum where the contest was held, I was in awe because:
1.I don’t know how to paint
2.I don’t have my judges’ list filled out
3.I don’t even know where to start painting
4.I have a large empty white canvas
5.The participant across my table did not share his work with me. He had a coach with him
6.After a long pause, I decided to just paint but it was only a “dot”, I did not know where to start

Context: The night before I went to sleep
*I was reading about Rice Farming (my mother left us with farmlands, a small rice field and rice milling business and I used to be involved with the chores (that I disliked) with my dad before I moved to the US)
*I was watching how Rice Milling machine were made
*I was learning the process of Rice production from seed to milling
*I was learning how to dry Rice during rainy harvest seasons
*I was thinking of how I can integrate my electronic, electrical, mechanical, sensors, computer networking, wireless networking skills into what mom/dad left for us.

Dream: Empty Port + Toppled Electric Pole/Broken Solar Panels; Day 0045

"That which you most need will be found where you least want to look" Jung

Hiking with VoiceDream
For the past week, I’ve been reading the book “Jungian Psychoanalysis”. I mostly listened to books instead of reading it. I am using the app called Voice Dream Reader. During my daily 2Mile walk, instead of listening to music, I am listening to my books that I queued for reading. 2 miles will take me around 38 minutes to complete, that is 38 minutes of reading. In the Voice Dream option, I set the Speech Rate to 200 words per minute. By the end of the workout, I can normally finish a chapter every day (depending on the topic), hiked two miles with a 40-lb pack and get my broken heart a soothing pounding which serves a daily cardiac test… then I will say to myself.. "I have another day to experience".

Amplification
Chapter 10-Amplification: Unveiling Emergent Patterns of Meaning. The chapter is about the interpretation of dreams using "amplification". We can understand our dreams and its meaning if we examine what took place before/prior to the dream and amplify the symbolism (example: a road is a journey, a death is a rebirth or a new beginning, a wedding is a transition of life to another phase, a heavy knock on your door is a new opportunity etc.). But the symbolism is so cryptic (hidden) because it is only the dreamer who has a direct experience of reality can connect to what the symbol stands for. Once familiar with the symbols, you can decode the dream yourself into some form of a message or a much needed encouragement or enlightenment especially when you are in a difficult circumstance in life.

Since Mom’s departure (December 19, 2018), and me being back in Austin and back to work and doing normal stuff, I have not had any dreams at all and I am not sure why. Maybe nothing is bothering me or maybe many things are bothering me so much that I am totally out from reality or going crazy. But last night, amazingly I had two dreams of which I thought was difficult to decode at first. I will just make the story in bulleted format so that it is easy to read.

DREAM#001-Empty Port
*Travelling with my family after Mom’s burial day
*Instructed my sisters to make sure that I will get a ticket for the boat trip
*I did not get a ticket
*I was left at Merida Port
*I was running late and my luggage was with them but the boat and family left without me
*I thought that my luggage was lost, it was left at the boat terminal by itself unattended
*I got my luggage back

“My grief journey will be long, lonely and difficult but…".

DREAM#002-Toppled Electric Pole + Broken Solar Panels
*I was doing an inspection of my fence in the backyard
*I saw a fence post brace that looks like it was broken but at close inspection, it was okay
*I saw a tall electric pole at the back of my house, it looks like it was about to snap
*Then moments later, it snapped damaging my solar panels (some of it)
*I went into the garage driveway to assess the damage and the damage was not that bad but some solar panels were in pieces littered by the front yard
*I told Brittney (my eldest daughter) to pickup the pieces and group it together so that I can take a picture and send it to the insurance company.

Dream: 7th Floor Apartment with MP

I was moving into a building apartment which I did not realize until late that MP was also residing across my room.  After moving in and everything was all in place, I left the room to throw away the trash and empty boxes. While outside my room in the hallway, I could not remember my room number because the doors are so identical.  Totally, I was lost but has the ability to see through inside the rooms and able to scan through the window and able to see the outside for markers like trees or building.  In my hand was the room key holder with a coin and a slightly visible inscription of a room number which is barely visible but I could not make up the number.  The key holder did not have a key, I was so focused in finding my room.  When I scanned the inner room, I noticed a familiar face [MP], she was lying in bed reading a book and when I gazed at her, it was the same look and youthful face that I saw during our very last goodbye 27 years ago and then I woke up and wrote this entry.

7th floor apartment with MP-?
ability to see through rooms-?
key holder with a barely visible inscription of the room number-?
lost home-?
forgotten room number-?

Day975; Dream-Tsunami in Merida, Bee

Book-Destined to Reign
Author: Joseph Prince
ISBN: 10:1-57794-932-3
No. of Pages: 307
No. of Chapters: 22


DREAM: #1 – Tsunami in Merida
Merida, my home town in the Philippines was hit by a tsunami.  I saw how the tide pulled back from the shore in a minute or so when a big tsunami came to town and flooded the whole town.  I told everyone to run for the hill.  There were a few survivors mostly teenagers and I started calling out names to see if they all survived.  After the tsunami, the town was submerged at roof level and only the hill is inhabitable.  The water was so calm and clear like a mirror.  I was overlooking the whole town from the top of the hill and there was no chaos visible and it appeared that everything was normal minus the water level which reaches to the roof.

DREAM: #2 Helping and Comforting Bee
I met an old friend [Bee]. She was in a classroom and needed some help to communicate with someone.  Mary Ann M. was there also and felt reluctant about my help to Bee.  I gave my phone to Bee to be able to call somebody and she end up using my phone listening to music.  I called the phone that I gave her and she was puzzled why my name appeared on the caller id.  The dream ended with Bee finally settled and at peace.

Dreams: Overflowing Water Tower; Soaked QRH and Planner; MN

DREAM: #1-Flawed Water Tower Design
A huge water tower built on top of a hill beside a highway.  On top of the water tower there was a contraption to provide an overflow protection when the tank is overfilled.  The overflow pipe was around 2 feet in diameter and was automated, retractable and robotic.  By design, the overflowing water goes back to the water tower so that no water is wasted when the tank is filled up. One day, the robotic arm was activated because the water overflow sensor was triggered but it turned out that it was a false alarm and the robotic arm retracted back-signifying that the overflow mechanism is working.  On the next day, the overflow sensor triggered again and this time it was real.  The robotic arm moved to the overflow position as designed to direct the overflowing water back to the tank.   It turned out that the design is flawed because when the overflowing water was sent back to the tank, there is no more room in the tank to hold the water.  The top of the water tank busted and was overflowing tremendously.  At the feet of the tower was a highway where cars were regularly passing every minute.  The broken water tower was continually gushing out water like a flood and drenching the cars below.  The passing cars were almost lifted up as the gushing water hit the ground.  Cars keep going but no accident, the only thing that was clear – passing cars received a good amount of shower for free.

What is the significance of a water tower?
Why flawed design?
Why highway by the water tower?
Why overflowing water tower?

DREAM: #2-Soaked QRH Notebook and Planner
Me and my co-workers went on top of the tower celebrating something [not known].  We were sitting at the edge of the tall tower with no safety rails.  Below us is a calm body of water.  It feels like we were on top of a dam and overlooking a deep, still water below.  Suddenly, we heard something dropped in the water.  Some were tiny items and some were large items.  Then a friend of mine told me, “Hey, is that your QRH floating?”  [QRH is my quick reference handbook for work.  Whenever I go inside the factory, I normally bring that notebook with me].    Unfortunately, it was my QRH floating in the water.  People started to retrieve their own items from the water but I stayed on top of the tower and remained seated and just watched the chaotic event.  I was really feeling bad because the QRH holds tons of my work notes and I have not converted it to an electronic format.  After the chaotic fishing and grabbing all the debris in the water, a person came up to me and gave me back my QRH but this time it was missing the spring binder.  The notebook was intact but just missing the spring binder.  The contents were not smeared and still very readable once dried.  One thing weird happened after I received back my QRH, a co-worker also returned my black planner which I don’t remember bringing it with me nor remembered that I dropped it.  He just told me, “Here’s your planner also”.

Why celebrating?
Why the tower reappeared again?
What is the significance of water?
What is the significance of the QRH?
Why the planner was found but mentioned before?
Why the planner, I don’t even use my black planner?

DREAM: #3-An encounter with a girl at work
I was in a hallway and saw this girl MN, we exchanged a few hello and level1 conversation and I told her that we should get together one day for lunch.  She said, 11:30, we will have lunch together.  It was 12:00 but I did not call her back and missed the lunch meeting.  My reason-I cannot have a lunch meeting with this woman because I am a married man and I have to stick with my principles.

Why MN? We are just acquaintance.
What is the significance of the meeting?

DREAM: #4-MN was in bed with me in between my wife [not sexual]
I was lying in bed with my wife but this MN was in between us.  It was a friendly conversation and we were talking just about anything like good friends.  The only thing weird is I was caressing [touch or stroke lightly in a loving or endearing manner]  MN and not my wife. 

Why MN reappeared?
Why was she in be with me and my wife?  [Disrespecting my wife is the last thing I will do to my wife]
What is the significance of “caressing”?

Day971: Dreams

DREAM:
A pregnant child Zebra2 jump off from a building unscathed.  I have to counsel her.

I was with MA preparing for a trip when an ambulance dragging her sister in a surfboard and she was dropped off in a huge parking lot and we have to take her to the ER.  I took my pickup truck to take her to the ER but she just hopped in the back of the truck like nothing happens.  As I was putting the luggage to the back of the truck, MA instructed me to be careful with his luggage since there were fragile items inside. When I placed his luggage the other way, he reminded me again.

I was in a big university and walked through a big hallway.  I was looking for an exit but end up with a huge double door with no sign of an exit.  I opened the door and saw MS and he shhhhs me because they were in a group meeting with a lot of people and the speaker was talking.  I slowly closed the door and left.

I was walking in a street without a shirt but had my black emergency backup on my back.  I saw 2 college roommates when I went into a very small tunnel which at first impossible to get through.  I went into the tunnel and  I was able to get through the tunnel just enough to crawl with my backpack.

DREAM: Our neighbor’s house was remodeled.  The workers stripped everything in the house and the only remaining items were the frame of the house.  The house framing was extended to double the area of the house.  The look of the house was totally different and I cannot even notice the resemblance of the old house.  The driveway was empty and there were no homeowners around.  When I walked towards the backyard of my house, I noticed that the neighbor’s wood patio extended way beyond to my side of the fence line.  The wood patio was sitting right close to my own backyard patio.  There was a woman who was at the backyard watching the workers and I was going to ask her about the patio but I did not; I just left the patio like it is.  I was not sure if she was the owner or not.

Dream: I was at work at Bay43 and was walking towards Bay42 when I saw that the whole Bay42 was empty.  I saw Joven just doing nothing in the empty Bay and I asked him what happened to all the new installed equipment.  He replied “The want us to Read and Understand”. Near Joven was an open tile with a Korean lady underneath the open tile staring at me.

Today was a historic day for a new project at work.

DREAM:
I was with my mother in Merida doing our morning walk at pantalan.  She was doing a simple exercise/stretching and was telling me how grateful she is that she is able  to walk again freely without pain.

My mother is currently in great pain as a remnant from her November 6, 2012 car accident.  She is in Cebu, Philippines and I’m here in Texas.  I know that deep in my heart I wanted to be with her to take care of her needs and giving her encouragement but I cannot at this time. I have an obligation as a father/husband and I cannot just take off from work any time for half-way around the world trip.  We talked on the phone almost daily and had been giving encouragement to her.  She’s 80 years old and was still very active until the accident.  Imagining is very different than actually seeing her go through the pain.  I’m feeling low [but not discouraged]but I know that God takes care of my family.  Today at Church during worship, I closed my eyes and lift my hands to God hoping to hear something.  I heard nothing… but then later on in the service, the Holy Spirit impressed my heart these words “I’ve given you a sign, she will be ok, Trust Me”.  I hope she will be. 

For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Day844; Dream-Suore

DREAM: Time with Suore
I was in an unknown city trying to find my way home.  I asked one a person in the street where I can find the train station and told me that “it is right there – pointing his hand in the direction but you really have to walk around a long way to get to the train station”.  My search of the train station started. I was walking in the crowded and busy street looking for the train station for quite a while and all of a sudden the street ended at the train station counter.  There was only one visible train in the station as viewed from the flight of stairs as I entered the place.  At the entrance of counter, I have to pick “Line A” ?or “Line B”?.  I was confused as to why I have to choose a certain Line to get home when in fact there is only one train available and goes to only one destination.  I reasoned that I should be able to ride the train and gets home no matter what Line I choose since the train only goes in one place.  I later learned that Line A, when you disembark will get you to a different place because there are two places being separated by the railroad tracks and you can’t just walk across the railroad track to go to the other side.  The train is the only way to get to the other side.  Since I was confused of what Line to take, I decided to not take the train ride and started walking around looking for an alternative.  As I was walking down the stairs of the shopping center, I met an old friend – codename-Suore in her habit.  We said hello and exchanged a lot of stories about life and end up spending the whole night together talking about our different experiences.

Hidden Strength; Day829; Dream

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! 2 Corinthians 12:9

Do nothing from factional motives [through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends] or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind) let each regard the others as better than and superior to himself [thinking more highly of one another than you do of yourselves].4Let each of you esteem and look upon and be concerned for not [merely] his own interests, but also each for the interests of others.5Let this same attitude and purpose and [humble] mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus: [Let Him be your example in humility:] Philippians 2:3-5

Likewise, you who are younger and of lesser rank, be subject to the elders (the ministers and spiritual guides of the church)–[giving them due respect and yielding to their counsel]. Clothe (apron) yourselves, all of you, with humility [as the garb of a servant, so that its covering cannot possibly be stripped from you, with freedom from pride and arrogance] toward one another. For God sets Himself against the proud (the insolent, the overbearing, the disdainful, the presumptuous, the boastful)–[and He opposes, frustrates, and defeats them], but gives grace (favor, blessing) to the humble. 6Therefore humble yourselves [demote, lower yourselves in your own estimation] under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He may exalt you,7Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. 1 Peter 5:5-7

1, Grace is enough.
2. When we are weak, we are stronger
3. Submit to authority or the person older or above you.
4. Negative consequences of being proud.
4. Give all concerns to Him

Dream: Transporting a blue vehicle from Cebu to Leyte
“I was transporting a blue vehicle on board a ferry from Cebu to Leyte.  The vehicle was loaded properly but I rode with the harbor pilot to lead the ferry during the beginning of the trip.  The ferry was supposed to wait for us so that when it reaches the safe zone, we will board – but the ferry just took off without us. A sister was in that ferry and tried calling her but unable to.  I had the key to the vehicle and I was wondering what happened to the vehicle when it arrive in Leyte because they could not move the vehicle. I was left behind in Cebu.”

16 Life Race Instructions; Day825; Dream

FURTHERMORE, BRETHREN, we beg and admonish you in [virtue of our union with] the Lord Jesus, that [you follow the instructions which] you learned from us about how you ought to walk so as to please and gratify God, as indeed you are doing, [and] that you do so even more and more abundantly [attaining yet greater perfection in living this life] 1 Thessalonians 4:1

I have fought the good (worthy, honorable, and noble) fight, I have finished the race, I have kept (firmly held) the faith 2 Timothy 4:7

THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us,2Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

1. Instructions in the Bible, follow it.
2. Walk to please and gratify God
3. Objective in life is greater perfection
4. Fight a good fight
5. Finish the race
6. Keep the faith to the end
7. Get rid of unnecessary weight [sin]
8. Run with patient endurance
9. Steady in our lifestyle [righteousness]
10. Always in active persistence
11. Follow the appointed course
12. Look away from distractions [temptations]
13. Keep your eyes in Christ
14. Obtain the prize joyfully [even in suffering]
15. Endure the cross [hardship]
16. Ignore the shame [we are all declared winners in Heaven]

Barnes on Mat 5:16 –
Let your light so shine … – Let your holy life, your pure conversation, and your faithful instructions, be everywhere seen and known. Always, in all societies, in all business, at home and abroad, in prosperity and adversity, let it be seen that you are real Christians.

That they may see your good works –
The proper motive to influence us is not simply that we may be seen (compare Mat_6:1), but it should be that our heavenly Father may be glorified. The Pharisees acted to be seen of men, true Christians act to glorify God, and care little what people may think of them, except as by their conduct others may he brought to honor God, yet they should so live that people may see from their conduct what is the proper nature of their religion.

Glorify your Father –
Praise, or honor God, or be led to worship him. Seeing in your lives the excellency of religion, and the power and purity of the gospel, they may be won to be Christians also, and give praise and glory to God for his mercy to a lost world.
We learn here:
1.    that religion, if it exists, cannot be concealed.
2.    that where it is not manifest in the life, it does not exist.
3.    that “professors” of religion, who live like other people, give evidence that they have never been truly converted.
4.    that to attempt to conceal or hide our Christian knowledge or experience is to betray our trust, injure the cause of piety, and to render our lives useless. And,
5.    that good actions will be seen, and will lead people to honor God. If we have no other way of doing good – if we are poor, and unlearned, and unknown yet we may do good by our lives. No sincere and humble Christian lives in vain. The feeblest light at midnight is of use.
“How far the little candle throws his beams!
So shines a good deed in a naughty world!”

Dream: I was a fugitive and was in hiding in a remote village with Britta and Brittney.  It was a difficult life and I was constantly in a state of heightened awareness.  One thing I noticed, Britta and Brittney were very content and never complained. Also, Brent was not with us.  In the dream, I realized how precious freedom is.

Dream #1 – Saw a brown colored river which at first looks very ugly and cluttered with trees and branches and vines but as I kept walking I later saw a beautiful river that was maintained by someone.  The river was wide and shallow but was peaceful. Then there were soldiers walking towards me in full battle gear and were chased with mortar rounds but never hit them.  They continued to walk towards me to meet me.  One soldier was so scared that I have to tell him and show him that the mortar rounds did not hit him nor exploded

Dream #2 – I visited the family of Em’s uncle in Ormoc which died from MI and gave my condolences to the daughters.

Dream #3 – I donated one my kidney to a child from Ingrid’s family. I was wondering what will happen to me that I had an MI and now have just 1 kidney left. I did not care.

Thwart; Day020; Dream

The Lord will not allow the [uncompromisingly] righteous to famish, but He thwarts the desire of the wicked. [Ps. 34:9, 10; 37:25.] Proverbs 10:3 
The Lord will not let the upright be in need of food, but he puts far from him the desire of the evil-doers.

thwart-to prevent somebody or somebody’s plan from being successful.

Dream:
I was ordered to transport a fellow soldier to another city [3 of us].  The soldier were transporting has injuries below his knees but can walk.  As we were about to begin our journey, I got separated from the two and went into a public transportation. As they were just getting in the car, I heard automatic weapons firing from everywhere.  When I looked around, my 2 friends were fatally shot and killed.  The shooter keeps shooting where I was riding but no bullets were hitting my body.  After everyone around me were dead, the shooter made sure that he killed everyone inspecting everyone for signs of life. He pointed the weapon behind my back and thought that I was already lifeless and did not fire any more rounds and then left.  I survived the ordeal with no scratch in my body.

Lately, I been bothered by my heart condition and has been planning my exit to this world so that the family that I am leaving behind will not experience hardship.  But once in a while, I get this type of dreams that the message is always “I survived the ordeal”.  When I got up this morning and opened my Bible, the dream I had last night was connected to the message that I read upon waking up. “but he puts far from him the desire of the evil-doers’’. Hmmmm.  I guess I will make it then.

Rescue Team; Day546; Dream-Elevator with Roel

Though he falls, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord grasps his hand in support and upholds him.  Psalm37:24 Sometimes life appears to be all bed of roses.  The wind is blowing in the right direction, doing great at work, finances are coming in at regular intervals, health is in perfect condition, home is a symbol of peace and harmony, friends are always there to say good things, relatives are always with words of encouragement.  But then when you really look at the “bottom line”, you are at the end of the rope and you feel like no one can really help you.  Sometimes, we are placed in a very difficult situation just so we can taste how hard life can sometimes be.  My life were filled with challenges.  I know that I did not get here at this point without difficulties.  But during my times of struggle, there was always a way out, there was always a solution to the problem, there was always a rescue team that holds my hand and say “you are safe now”.   When I listened to a friend who is in a difficult situation, sometimes I ran out of words to say.  Realistically, there is no word of encouragement that can help in this special situation.  And always at the end our our conversation, I been telling myself secretly that one day the rescue team will be there.  I am waiting for that day when the rescue team gives me the report “All accounted for-mission accomplished”.

Dream – Elevator with Roel
Me and Roel [Go] was riding in a blue outdoor elevator suspended by just one cable.  Roel was hanging from the outside and I was comfortably riding inside.  As we reached to the highest floor, the elevator started to descend so fast and I know it was trouble.  The elevator hit the ground and shattered into pieces and I thought I would not make it, I saw Roel smiling after the incident.  Me and Roel started an investigation and we noticed the following:
1. There was only 1 cable holding the elevator
2. There was only 1 motor driving the cable upward mounted on top of the building
3. There was no brake system in the elevator
4. There was no emergency mechanism in place

How Long; Day382; Dream-Toothbrush and Bathroom

O you sons of men, how long will you turn my honor and glory into shame? How long will you love vanity and futility and seek after lies? Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself [and given distinction to] him who is godly [the man of loving-kindness]. The Lord listens and heeds when I call to Him. Psa 4:2-3 

Dream1: Toothbrush
I was in a open building and there was a toothbrush laying around soaked in a cup of water. I took it and use it even after seeing particles inside the cup and I did not care of any consequences.

Dream2: Bathroom
I was in an overcrowded bathroom. The place was chaotic, dirty and people were loud, crazy and dirty.  People were changing clothes, washing their face and brushing their teeth.  I have to squeeze myself in to get to the sink which has a flowing water.

Jam 1:26  If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religious service is worthless (futile, barren).

I was reading some LEAN notes today and found the following articles interesting. 
5S Game Handouts
5S-Philosophy

In the last few months, I’ve been helping a few friends go through a storm in life.  Many times I always requested them to get a notebook and write down stuff or sometimes I wrote down notes in my notebook and then we discuss the problem one on one.  I repeated that suggestion last night to a friend and I hope that she will listen.  I’ve been looking for reasons why I’m always doing that and I think I found the reason why with the illustration below from the 5S Game Handouts .  I am surrounded with technology at home and at work.  I have a Sharepoint Site at home and I have a Sharepoint Site at work and I have a blog for the rest of the world to collect/publish notes for my daily activities and I have a Treo800 with me where ever I go but I also kept a notebook at home and at work and I am always scribbling in my notebook of whatever things I do, my MIT’s and simple tasks.  My notebook (paper notebook, not the laptop) helped me in so many ways/times to get started with a difficult problem and 99% of the time, the information I wrote on it always get me to priority 1.

So here’s a simple exercise for you.
1. Download the document  5S Game Handouts
2. Print or view pages 3 and 12
3. Grab a timer and look for the number #1 on page3, record your time.
4. Then on Page12, look for the number #1, record your time.
5. Compare both times and see difference.

Lesson Learned:
Big events in our life or big problems may it be personal or emotional or calamity/disaster type or may it be a simple problem at work or at home, if the data (the problem space) is unsorted, it is really hard to find the first priority (or the top 5 priorities).  Have you noticed on the sorted picture how easy it is to look up any priorities?  I shared this exercise to my daughter and she is now 5S’d.  I explained to her how we accomplished her driver’s training in 6 months by first collecting all the task at once first and then sorting it out and documenting it. 

I do hope that you too will try out 5S in your life.

DREAM: “Someone stole my bike at the library”:  I went to the library building riding my bicycle and I left the bicycle outside the building with no locks.  When I was done inside the library, I left the building but I could not find my bike, it was stolen.  I did not even try to look for it, I just said, they can have it.

I don’t consider myself an interpreter of dreams (I don’t claim to be) but whenever I dream of something like this, I always ask God to give me at least a glimpsed of what it is.  Me and Brittney went to church today and as usual, she was driving mom’s car and I was at the passenger seat.  I told her about my dream and she said that she had the same dream but instead of the bike stolen, it was my truck (the Yukon) that was stolen while she was using it going somewhere.  Maybe this is irrelevant but I just want to mention that here for record purposes.  So during the Praise and Worship part of the service, I closed my eyes (as always) when the song is slow and people are worshipping God in the Spirit and then I ask the Lord to give me some hints about my dream.  It took a while but then the impression was this: The bike represents the event (the vehicle/transportation) the library (building) represents the Kingdom of God.  What leads me to the Kingdom of God was my bicycle accident that almost claimed my life and brought me into a new life-The life that I am in right now.. the Kingdom of God.  The stolen bike represents the same event is being used to bring someone to the Kingdom of God. In short, “He uses big events in our lives to bring us into the Kingdom of God.”  So whenever I see “big events” in someone’s life, that is my hint that that person is about to experience a very special invitation to walk into the Kingdom.

Week After The Storm; Day243; 2 Dreams

Pro 10:25  As the storm passes, so the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
Pro 10:25  When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous have an everlasting foundation. [Ps. 125:1; Matt. 7:24-27.]

I woke up this morning with a confusing dream. (at first)
Dream1: 2 boats,Roel and my sisters in bed
Dream2: Nestor’s old cubicle filled with people.

Whenever I have dreams like this, I normally just get up and forget about it.  This time, I took time to write/draw it down in my notebook and the message become so clear to me as I reconstructs the event in that dream.  The first dream is an action, a command to do something.  The second dream is a promise of hope for my dear friend Nestor who just lost his job at Samsung.  To Nestor, hang in there.

A week after the whirlwind passes in my face and life goes on.  My immune system to a storm is very robust.  Sometimes when you have so many storms in life, you tend to enjoy it more than you hate it because you know/ I know that I will make it to the end.  I am not saying that I always survive but I know personally that I have a Person in my back to cover me.  I don’t give myself credit for surviving the storm.  There is a God in heaven that orchestrate all these…. for good. This is just not for me but for you too.  He did not allow those storm to passover you for nothing.  He has plans for you.  Be excited.
