I was fourteen years old when I last dreamt about dragons. It was 1982 and that was when the movie "Q" came about. "Q" stands for "Quetzalcoatl" an Aztec god . Stephen Colbert once mentioned him in The Daily Show's "This Week in God" segment.
Here in the Philippines, "Q" was released under the title, "The Winged Serpent"...which Quetzalcoatl is. I never saw the movie itself...only the trailer. But I must have been freaked out by it.
In this dream, I remember finding some sort of scaly hide that might have belonged to some animal. I put the hide in the fridge. Why I don't know. I go outside from a while when all of a sudden, a dragon bursts through the roof of our house.
The scene of the dragon spreading his wings in the sky is similar to the scene in 1989 when I saw a prehistoric jet figter over our house strafing Malacañang Palace with bullets...and this wasn't a dream.
So anyway, I run to my uncle's house (three houses down) and as soon as I get to the door, the dragon swoops down on me. But before it drops down, it transforms into...get this...a human-sized Chinese ninja! Yes. The letters "WTF" comes to mind.
In my recent dream, I was at a convention out of town. It was night and I was in a hotel building a couple of stories up overlooking a forest. I remember going back and forth to the convention, when suddenly, the forest catches fire. The rest of the convention attendees ignore this and the evening proceeds uneventfully...save for the forest fire.
When the convention ends, I found myself in the crowded corridor looking at the forest fire. All of a sudden, I realize why it was on fire...as a flock of dragons flew out of the forest towards the hotel!
And then, I woke up.
