Fish out of water...



Check out this dream I had. Maybe its not even a dream. It was actually more like a snippet or a very short dream. It could have been a vision or left over brain farts after a long night.

It was totally black everywhere and then I saw two glasses with water in them and a little gold fish was swimming in one glass. The fish jumped out of the glass and fell into the second glass. In the second glass it started having some kind of convulsions and shit and was as if it were struggling to breathe. It was jerking around and slamming against the sides of the glass violently.

That was it. That whole dream took about maybe less than a minute. I didnt see the fish dead or anything. It just ended like that.

Freaky?? Yep!!

That is a trippy dream man? Did you have it at night or during an afternoon snooze session.

You think it could be somesort of metaphor for what is going on in your mind? You know, the dilemma of relocating from Hawaii to India, and the claustrophobic feeling of being confined to a place.

Dude, I think this relocating thing has really consumed your thoughts. It seems you are really apprehensive about leaving Hawaii. Cant you just go back for a holiday and see what it feels like before commiting?

Lavi bro,
Damn. Intense no doubt. Nothing short of freaky but not quite deranged or whatever. I agree with Ro. And I'd like to add that that's one acrobatic goldfish man. Ok, just kidding. Or maybe this happened at a party and you saw this happen...like the goldfish jumped out of it's bowl and landed in someone's drink. Drinking like a fish I tell you! Alright, enough stupidity from this malayalee. But seriously bro, sounds like your being on the verge of a major life-changing moment has got your brain doing tight circles in a glass bowl. So, here's the question. Leap of faith, just go ahead with it, or would you like to check it out and then see where you'd like things to go a la avi?

You guys gave a new light to my dream right there man. I now think that this dream had two meanings, both of which have taken centerstage in my life in the last few months.

I have also been thinking of cutting down our partying and drinking nights....am very successful in cutting it out totally but once started, it cannot be stopped. We go out for one or two after work and then we are counting 20 or 30 and its 4am the next morning and the fat lady is singing. I mean its not like before when we used to go out 3 to 4 nights a week, and then the next day after a few hours of rest we are good to go to school or work or actually do something other than lie in bed all day...SO some of us have been trying to lessen our drinking or even cut it off completely. Its not like we have a drinking problem. We just see it being hard on our health, time and pocket. We can stop completely, but feel it alienates us from other friends (most of whom do not have any control also), and its too much fun to cut out of our lives. The conversations we have while a little lubricated alone are enough to keep us going.

Well I had that dream early Saturday morning, or the morning after...friday night!! RO and I and some buddies had gone for a short after work drinking session. I was thinking it will be cool, we'll eat and then drink so we cannot drink too much. Never happened that way. We ate and drank, and drank, and drank, ended up at Indigo's checking out some honies and came to a stage that everyone has been before. You know when you are thinking, ok I should stop now or else I will suffer the next day....but then you dont stop. You know what you should do, but dont. SO you say screw it and keep going and have a really great time...

I have become very health conscious, almost for the whole of this year I have been like that. Trying to control what I eat and drink. I quit smoking many months ago. Wasnt that fun anyway. But drinking is a whole lot of fun. So when I had the dream, I was thinking why am I poisoning my body like that. The goldfish being ok in the glass of water and then almost dying in the glass of alcohol. I thought it meant that I was hurting my body by drinking so much.

No, I(and some other people) am not an alcoholic and I do not have an alcohol problem. SO my dream is now combined i guess with my frustations of living or leaving here and also trying to keep away from influences that are harmful to my health.

Choices, choices...
