This Precious Life

Singers like to sing about how much they wish their dreams would come true but honestly, I would be terrified if my dreams really do come true.

Last night, I dreamed that I am a famous blogger. I received a phone call from a radio DJ who was airing our conversation live on his show. The DJ said that he had discovered three people who didn’t like me and who wants to expose the dirt on me. I think the DJ was trying to provoke me towards anger while live on air. This was how the conversation went.

Bob: Hello Hillary, I have a few questions for you today. Are you ready to answer them live for our 2 million listeners at home?
Me: Hello Bob, please go ahead and ask away.
Bob: Hillary, I heard that your real name is not Hillary and that you are pretending to be someone you’re not. Do you have anything to say to that accusation?
Me: Bob, it would be a miracle if my parents had named me Hillary at birth, considering how my dear Mother can not pronounce Hillary very well. Chinese-speaking people have a problem differentiating “L”s from “R”s. My real name is Cheng Leng and it’s a name I’m proud to have. It’s my heritage. However, Hillary is a convenient name to have for my line of work.
Bob: Hillary, I heard that you have three vicious dogs at home who have attacked people before. The fact is, I heard these nasty tidbits about you from three blog readers who claim to genuinely dislike you. Do you have any comments?
Me: Bob, I am upset to hear that there are 3 people who do not like me at all. I had thought that I would be able to be friends with all 6.7 billion people on planet earth but from the sound of what you’re saying, it looks like I will only be able to have 6,699,997 friends at most.

(Poor Charise got framed.) Notice how I steered the conversation away from my vicious dogs, ahem.

I forgot the the last question that the radio DJ asked but from what I can remember, I handled the entire interview very well. I didn’t get upset and I was calm.

What do you think the dream meant?
