< I had a dream last night. I was at the beach. There was a collection of big cartons piled up on the beach like a wall. Suddenly, the waves and wind raged and brought in piles of mattresses. They were laid next to the cartons. More piles of mattresses were 'washed' up to line up against the 'wall'. Then the tsunami came. I with others on the beach were protected.
Then the skies beyond the horizon displayed angels in the form of stick figures with tiny wings on the shoulders :) 'patrolling' the horizon. Another luminous stick figure was pacing up and down another section facing down. 'It' didnt seem like a 'good guy' to me.

Then a man appeared. He was sitting under a tree discussing something important with a few others. I had a camera. I wanted to take photos but the camera kept pointing at him. He was feeling suspicious of me. But I was trying to take a photo of an orang utan up on the tree above him. Most of the pictures had his face half covered. Couldnt get a full face photo. 'He' didnt seem like a 'good guy' to me.

I dont know how to interpret this dream. >
