Dreams
Read this article yesterday and thought to myself, how true what women do sometimes..
Why men should fear women’s dreams
Is it so difficult to differentiate between reality and la la land? I don’t think so.
The former is when you hurl obscenities that will make an Ah Beng blush when you are pinched. The latter happens when you are in bed and wake up only to face drool at the side of the pillow.
Well, you will be amazed. It seems that women have a hard time telling the difference between the two.
A lady friend confessed how she ignored her husband for a week when she dreamt he was having an affair.
Her rationale was that it seemed real and she could not help but feel angry and hurt even though she knows that it all happened in her subconscious.
Thinking that this may just be a one-off case, I did a check with my large group of female friends.
After several phone calls and a dozen instant messages conducted when my boss was not looking, I am proud to reveal my findings.
Apparently, such a reaction is not uncommon and more surprisingly, several of them even confessed that they have given their other halves the cold shoulder for being with another woman in their dreams.
Gasp.
As it is, it is already difficult trying to second-guess and manage women on a day to day basis.
But if men are also to be penalised for something that happens in the subconscious, I say we are done for.
Imagine being greeted in the morning by a delusional wife or girlfriend who dream you lost her pearl earrings.
Or worse, being awoken by a tight slap across the face and then accused of sleeping with Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johansson.
That will be bizarre.
A wise female friend said that usually, such dreams are a manifestation of the subconscious, and that she has anxieties and fears about the guy that she is seeing.
The bottom line is that she is insecure.
A learned male friend was more direct. He said: “Madness. She must be a psycho.”
No matter.
One thing that they will agreed on is that when confronted with such an incident, the guy should just do nothing about it and let it blow over as usually, the lady with the wild imagination will come to her senses.
After all, it is just a dream.
The same learned male friend, who is an Arsenal supporter, added sarcastically: “I dreamt Wayne Rooney broke his leg. But when I woke up to news of Manchester United winning 7-1 against Roman (in the Champions League), I don’t blame my dream.”
Agreed.
But if you are a woman…

this is so true. and i thought i was weird.
but guys think women are ‘psychotic’. =/
uh huh.
bah.
uh huh.
ah well, they’ll just have to deal with it. men can be pretty ‘psychotic’ too - just look how they watch soccer. but we deal with it, don’t we? hahaha!
Interesting findings girl. Lol… I think I belong to that category also… Acting on my dreams. Argh… So is there any scientific study on why we do such things?
meimei - nice comparison. hur hur.
natnat - finally, u’re here! laughs. the article was in The New Paper, it’s wasn’t done by me -___-” hv no idea why women do such things.. all i know is.. we are not psychotic. maybe delusional at times but not psychotic!
I dun know about other women but I find that it is not only unreasonable, but it is also mindless to blame the men for a dream that we have!
I read somewhere that says hor… women are ‘feel’ types.. they are dependent on feelings and how they feel abt things and situations… whereas men are ‘touch/sight’ types…dependent on wat they touch and wat they see…
But i guess.. being rational helps alot too..
Rachel> AMEN !!!!
rachel - insecurity’s probably the reason why women blame men for what happened in their dreams..
jf - yah it’s true…about the feel and touch/sight thing.. sometimes when emotions are overwhelming, all sense fly out of the window = irrational.
no2 - yes yes yes… -_-”
