I am trying to deny to myself that I'm concerned and
alarmed on what’s happening on the West Philippine Sea specifically on the
Panatag Shoal but my subconscious mind betrayed me.
Last Wednesday night or noon (I already forgot as I’m
working on night shifts and was on sick leave that day due to upper back pain so I slept
twice), I had this dream of war in our country. It was a very clear
one.
The setting began on the airport. I’m
not sure why we were there. But we were all shocked when one airplane which was
on landing mode started going on free fall with smokes on its wings. And then
another one followed. It was like a scene in a movie.
Then there was breaking news on tv. Stealth missiles coming
from the shores were the culprit. And it was from Chinese ships. We were
officially on war mode.
Then the next setting was back home, our family were starting
to arm ourselves. My uncle who’s a retired navy even showed his loaded guns to
us. We planned on how to protect ourselves, escape and fight for our lives.
Then bombs exploded all around.
Then I forgot what happened next and then I woke up.
In my dreams, I felt excitement, fear, confusion, anger all
mixed up. It seemed so true. Thank God
it was just a dream. But what if…
