I dreamt of a very horrifying scene during the past few nights ago. I only have the time to update my blog about it now...
I can't really remember what happened before that, so I'll just go straight to the point.
Here goes:
It was during the peak hours after my lessons ended. I was waiting for the MRT train to arrive while waiting at Clementi MRT Station as usual, one of my frequent "hangouts". However, this time round, I had a very foreboding feeling that something wasn't very right, but I didn't have adequate time to think much about it.
When the train finally arrived, it came at a very fast speed, faster than usual. I was quite stunned. The next thing I realized, the half-end of the train didn't land properly on the tracks. Instead, the whole train just slanted outwards of the tracks!
OK, we all know that Clementi MRT Station platform is two-storeys high, right?
So when the rear part of the train slanted outwards, I was already very shocked. The worst part was... when the train doors opened!
You can imagine how packed like sardines the train was! OH MY GOODNESS!!!
When the doors opened, I was already holding on to my breath, not wanting to see anymore tragic happening. I wanted to turn away because I didn't know what I could or had to do. Basically, the people on the platform were just like me, staring in horror and screaming their hearts out. The commuters in the train were trying very hard to squeeze further into the train so that they won't fall out. Just then, I saw a man diving out from one of the back doors...
And this was when I woke up with a start. My heart was thumping like madness, I was gasping for breath, and I even made some crying sounds even though I didn't cry. It was those sounds which sounded as though something very bad was immediately going to happen to me and I didn't want it to happen at all. I lied in my bed, curled up like a helpless baby.
Luckily, it was not daylight yet. I still had some time to recover and sleep.
For the man, I didn't know why he did that. Maybe he knew that he wouldn't have a chance to survive anymore, so he'd rather end it quickly. It makes me think about the 911 WTC incident when a few chose to jump down from the tall building instead of wanting to be burnt to death alive.
Recollecting this dream makes me shiver.
