    .. macaque !!

    ( .. no actual macaques are harmed in the process of writing this )

    .. ma·caque Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[muh-kak, -kahk]
    –noun, any monkey of the genus Macaca, chiefly of Asia, characterized by cheek pouches and, usually, a short tail: several species are threatened or endangered. Originates of southeast Asia, Japan, Gibraltar, and northern Africa.

    .. this particular species of the simian family had been haunting my dreams since chilhood. I am already 28 now, and once in a while, they would still sneak fiendishly into my night's rest and create havoc. Sometimes, they come in a pack, sometimes they come alone, but most of the time, irregardless of number, they wont cease to terrorize my peaceful rest.
    .. ugh, the things they do, i cringe and shudder in angst everytime that smirking hairy face appears. I still remember, there is this particular dream, repeating itself over and over again, with this specific macaque with a bald patch on top of its head, and a black splotch of black fur on its belly, also not forgetting that fiendish grin, as the main actor. He is such a regular that i have even given him a name, Ah Kwong (Mr Shiny, would be the nearest translation in english, reminiscence of this bald patch).
    .. i suppose Ah Kwong would be the mastermind in the attacks in my dreams, judging from the way others avoid him and gives way whenever he's around. He has this particular featish with red yarns, where he would every single time without fail, roll up an endless supply into a big round ball, rolling, rolling ... rolling non stop growing bigger each time he turns up in my dreams. This gargantuan bright ball of yarn would chase me to the ends of world everytime. At 28 years of age now, it has grown so big now, i am not able to apprehend it at all.
    .. i would just run everytime.
    .. every time i end up waking up, exhausted, anxious, and of course swaying my arms or kicking. Just today, i have this ache in my right foot for hitting it hard onto the frame of my bed, in an act of desperation trying to kick Ah Kwong !
    .. anyone who reads this, you might be smiling now thinking how absurd this is, but isn't that what dreams are supposed to be? Irregardless, if you do happen to be an expert in dream interpretion, help me!! Dreams are somehow related to your real walking life, events which happen to you, would manipulate itself and represent itself to your subconcious self in form of dreams. No one is ever perfect, everyone has their own issues, up and downs in your life, daily problem solving puzzles which would baffle you to world's end. You will be more of yourself if you are able to identify and adapt to your problems from your dreams.
    .. but in my case, with Ah Kwong haunting me, how could it actually relate to anything in my real life !!??
