Dreams are possible!!!

A long time ago, a friend of mine said: "My mother told me that whatever you dream of, will always be the direct opposite in reality."

He was talking about the dreams you have at night. And for all I know, he isn't the only one who strongly believes in this. I have a bunch of others who say this same line each time I tell them about a dream I had at night.

But I'd like to beg to differ. Around October last year, I'd dreamt of walking to my Pasir Ris house in the night, the only light being the streetlamps, texting the best friend of the asshole who dumped me. Just his best friend, while he himself was mentioned nowhere in that particular dream.

And then meanwhile in reality, just a month ago, I was returning to my parents' place late at night. Of course, I'd already been dumped by that asshole, but yep. His best friend was there, texting me during my whole journey from Paya Lebar to Pasir Ris, til I fell asleep.

It may be nothing, but it's still a dream come true wasn't it?

Even if it's true that reality will be the opposite of what you dreamt of, it doesn't mean it will happen. If you really want it to come true, you'd put in effort. Like how I told my friend that I dreamt of a crush asking me out, and she immediately said: "To be honest, what happens in real life will always be the opposite of what you dream of." as a way of saying that this dream wouldn't come true.

But hey? The opposite of being asked out, is asking someone out. Do I not make sense? It still can happen if you twist the situation and put in effort to make it reality.

What about the dreams you have in reality, the ambitions you're chasing?

There was this one time, in my childhood, I'm not sure how long ago it was. I was watching this show where Nick Cannon shyly confessed his celebrity crush being Mariah Carey. I didn't take much notice, but then a few months or maybe years later BOOM, there was this other show where Nick was shown a picture of Mariah and he immediately gushed: "Aww man that's my wife man, I love her!"

My mind straightway transported to the last time I saw this guy on TV, when he only confessed to his wife being a crush. I was dumbfounded as to what the hell happened in between these two moments!? Still, it was a pleasant surprise, like anything can happen huh?

Another moment back in my childhood, when my mom was telling me a story; she had a conversation with the youngest daughter from next door, who is 3 years older than me. The girl was practising her posture and the way she walked, because, my mother learnt, it was her dream to be an air stewardess.

At that time I was really young, probably about mid primary school. I didn't take notice, but again, many years later something else happened that made me think of that moment.

Just a few days ago, maybe two weeks back, my mother and I were waiting for the lift when she pointed to our neighbour's laundry. "Do you wanna be a stewardess too?"

I looked to see that there was the Singapore Airlines uniform hanging out to dry. I straightway exclaimed: "Who's the stewardess!?" and when I learnt that it was their youngest daughter, I was once again pleasantly shocked.

Dreams can come true huh? Your crushes can be your boyfriends and your ambitions can be your sources of income!
