I had two dreams this morning.
In the first dream, I was watching a "Tensai Terebikun MAX" anniversary show on TV. For those of you who don't know, Tensai Terebikun MAX is a Japanese variety show that airs daily on NHK. It's a youth-oriented show that's similar to say, the Mickey Mouse Club.
In my dream, the show was celebrating its anniversary...five years...ten years...I couldn't remember. In the show, younger cast members were asked to impersonate older cast members. Chihiro Murata impersonated her friend Nanase Iwai. She even wore Nanase's "trademark" pilot's helmet and goggles.
Nozomi de Lancquesaing impersonated someone whose name had something to do with the number "4". I don't know who that was but apparently Nozomi parodied the name as "(1)x(1)x" as indicated by the screen graphics. That was weird. Also, he pronounced "(1)x(1)x" as "Iki-Iki" for some reason. That was even weirder. But the weirdest part was the fact that "Nozomi de Lancquesaing" looked more like another cast member Vance Yuuki.
Then there was my favorite: Ema Kondou. In a show that was supposed to be an "X" year anniversary of Tensai Terebikun Max, Ema looked very, very young. In fact, she resembled TTM newcomer Melody Chubbuck. On top of that, she was blonde in my dream (Ema has brown hair). She also wore glasses (which she'd do during "newscasts") and a green smock. I miss Ema.
In my second dream, I was wandering around the streets of Quiapo one early evening. It was 6:00 P.M. and I had two hours to play hookey. It was then that I spied a "dollar theater" that was playing "Independence Day". I haven't seen "Independence Day" in a theater since 1996 so called up my parents saying I'll be watching a movie and will be coming home late.
But as I got to the theater I was surprised to see my father there. He asked me if I was still going to watch ID4 and I said "yes". So I went insaide the theater and I was rather surprised to see a sizable crowd inside. I then proceeded to the front row seats. I always sit in the front row everytime I see a movie in a theater.
The odd thing was, as we waited for the movie to start, we were entertained by some sort of local documentary. Apparently, the sound from the documentary was coming from a TV set above and in front of me. I looked front and I found myself in front of a...bookstore? (?!?)
