my dream within a dream

Last night, I had a weird dream. No, it’s not about running away from debt collection agencies. Hehehe. But I am quite sure it means something. Something to do with my work, and probably about the global recession.

First, I dreamt I was in a van with my team mates going on an out-of-town trip. The van is driven by our manager. All my teammates were sleeping while I watched my manager drove through the zigzag road. I know that if he missed, the van would fall into a very deep body of water. Then it happened, he missed a turn and we dived into the vast body of water. Since I do not know how to swim, it was quite odd that I was confident I won’t die, I was quite sure I’d float and be rescued somehow. Still, I was waiting for us to hit the water. There I was, just waiting, but we haven’t hit anything nor did I feel like falling at all.

Then in this same dream I woke up. (Yes, I was still dreaming. A dream within a dream) I realized that it was just a dream. But again, I was so sure that it was a premonition, that it would happen in a matter of hours. I was recounting that dream to my hubby’s aunt and cousin. In my dream, we were at a mansion somewhere in Vigan. There’s a bridge-like passage on the second level where I saw (while taking pictures) an elephant trying to take a peek on the ground floor. Again, I was so sure it would fall. I ran to the door because I was so sure that the elephant would run wild once he falls. Then the elephant fell, just as I opened the door, the elephant ran inside so I shut it closed instead.

ETA: No need to interpret the first one ‘coz I can figure that one out easily. The second one I had to google. I found out that an elephant in a dream would mean good omen, no matter if he was kind or attacking you. What’s puzzling was the part that the elephant fell and I had to shut the door closed so that he won’t get out again.
