<p>I had many dreams last night and I remember 2 of them:</p>
<p><strong>Dream 1.</strong> I was with Steph, an old friend, and some other people taking MTR. Steph wrote her questions on paper and showed them to me: she first asked would I cry at all, I said yes. Then she asked how often, I answered not often. She then condemned me for my cold blood: <em>how could you not cry with those songs you listened to</em>? I don&#8217;t agree with her but I didn&#8217;t say. There was a music player or something with a screen. I made up quickly a playlist and it started with a Karen Mok&#8217;s song. Some of her songs made me cry before.</p>
<p><strong>Dream 2. </strong>I was talking to my mom and suddenly I remembered that I should plan a trip to Chile for some conference. I forgot the contents of the conversation between us but I was happy and started to mess up the plan: may be I would go to Liverpool after Chile for visit? My mom suggested that may be she could meet me at Liverpool so I can show her around.</p>
