Wednesday morning, I crapped in the middle of a public road.  I wasn't embarassed, although there were people walking around me, because I don't get embarassed by stuff like that.  But it was messy and I had the mess all over my hands and clothes.  Then I woke up.  Yeah, it was a dream.

When I told my wife about the dream, my wife said "Wow, a lucky dream.  Let's buy lottery tickets!"  You see, most Koreans believe dreams foretells the future.  Dreams with feces and pigs are considered lucky and are even bought and sold for small amount of money to transfer luck.  We didn't buy the lottery ticket because I was lazy and the California drawing was Wednesday night.

Thursday morning, I was in a bed with some girl when two Italian mobsters broke into the room.  One of the guys came over with a gun and placed the muzzle on my left temple.  I thought he was going to say something like in the movies, but something entered my brain and I died.  Then I woke up.  Yeah, two in a row.

I told my wife again and she consulted my mother.  Their conclusion was that death dreams are also good dreams.  They are not common like dreams involving feces or pigs so I didn't know.  My wife said, we should really buy some lottery tickets.

Koreans take dreams seriously.  If my mother-in-law calls out of the blue, it's because she had a bad dream about my wife.  When a Korean woman conceives a child, she is expected to have a Birth Dream (Tae-Mong) which differ from mundane dreams in intensity and content.  Some dream of birds or fishes jumping into their body.  Others see dragons or deers coming into the house.

Do Koreans really believe in these dreams?  Wrong question.  The right question is Why take unnecessary chances?  Aren't these dreams saying something about mental problems?  Again wrong question.  Why worry about the past when there is the future to worry about?

I am about to go to sleep now with my fingers crossed.  If I get run over by a herd of pigs in my dream, I am going to buy some lottery tickets as my way of saying I got the damn message!  ;-p

Update:

Dang.  I had a dream of something but I couldn't remember what it was.
