Back in grade school, I was very much fascinated of Sweet Valley Teens and Sweet Valley High Book Series. I remember that I would always wait for Goodwill Bookstore Sale to get bargain copies of the book. Probably, because of this fascination, I even had a dream about Goodwill Bookstore having great book sale. What's weird, the next day, I went to Goodwill and found out that it was really on sale.
It was Christmas Season back '96 when I rode a tricycle on my way to the practice of "Panunuluyan" in our parish (Yes, I was a devoted Catholic then. "was"). Before I got off the tricycle and paid for the fair, I was thinking that if I asked for the fare that the driver would tell me, "Bahala ka na, Pasko naman eh." Wow, man! That was the actual line he uttered when I asked him how much the fare was! I should have not been suprised because I know before hand that he'd tell me that. But I was still surprised and felt strange that what was supposed to be an assumption really happenned. Well, maybe it was just a normal thing to happen on a Christmas Season. People would usually ask for "pamasko" of sorts. Then again, it was still something strange. Telekenesis man?
I remember a friend telling me that he saw me somewhere in Ortigas but he wasn't that sure if it was me. Strange but I thought I saw him that same day (I was not also sure if it was him) but I was in another place (not in Ortigas!). It was a little scary and very unexplainable. How can two people think they saw each other if they were in a separate place during that day and time?
I haven't been to National Teacher's College not until I passed by the area earlier this month. From Greenhills area, I took the San Juan - R. Magsaysay route going to Quiapo. It passed by Ayala Bridge and I got to see NTC. It was really weird because I had a dream of the NTC years ago. I didn't know it was NTC until I saw it that day. I had some goosebumps. How can I actually see a place in my dream even if I haven't been to that area? When I saw the building, I felt I know the structure very well (although I didn't know that it was NTC in my dream). The structure/building was absolutely familiar.
Last week, I attended a coronation night of a beauty pageant. Days before they pageant, I had a vivid dream of the pageant. I got lost on my way to the hotel. Instead of directly going to the "venue", I found myself in the hotel room of the participants. In my dream, I had a hard time locating the venue for the pageant. Again, a very strange thing happened to me on the day of the event. Just like in my dream, I got lost -- I found myself in the technical room of the hotel and hotel room of the participants. Maybe, unconsciously I was trying to make that dream a reality. But why the hell would I want it to happen? Why the hell would I want to see myself in that stupid situation? I should have avoided it to happen by asking for directions instead. Then again, the dream still happened. And the feeling was really strange and I also felt so stupid to have not located the ballroom area at once (Oh well, I guess it's an excuse that the ballroom area was on the other side of the hotel).
Last Saturday, I passed by Earnshaw Street in Sampaloc. It was quite nostalgic. While passing by the area, I looked back the campaign days. We actually went to that place -- pasting posters (stapling posters rather) and leafleting. That area was also the place where INQTV covered our usual campaign activities and even interviewed us. It's always fun yet painful whenever I recall such experience. What's actually weird, while we were passing by the area, after I stared at Sampaloc Market, Victory (tama nga ba ang pangalan) Drug Store, and tried to remember the good and bad campaign memories in that area, Loreto Church (tama nga bang loreto church iyon?) caught my attention. I was just surprised that there were a number of stalls and people in the area. But what's even more suprising? While reminiscing the campaign days, I saw one friend from the Roco campaign (who was also there during the INQTV coverage) walking in the area. Strange!
With all these strange things that have been happening, I am quite anxious to study why these things happen. I am trying to understand the phenomena of De Javu, Dreams, and Pre-Cognition. I am trying to read sources, studies, researches, theories etc. that explain these phenomena. I am trying to understand if the mind is just so powerful that it can make dreams happen. I am trying to understand if the mind is just so powerful that it can pre-recognize occurrences. I want to understand if becase of the mind's power, it can transmit ideas and concepts to another person in another place. That it's just so powerful that you don't need to utter words for other people to perceive what you are thinking.
I know this is crazy. It's just that I don't want to simply accept things as they happen. I just don't want to believe that it's something extra-ordinary because of another dimension of sorts (like the sixth sense ability). Science may not be able to explain such things completely. But I would still try to research on experiments to atleast have some basis for understanding these strange things that have been happenning to me. It may not give me a concrete explanation but at least I would have many theories and studies to refer to with these occurrences. Hence, I wouldn't just be satisfied that they are simply beyond human comprehension as they are something related to belief of supernatural or whatnot.
