1. live scarab beetles on curry-flavored food. apparently this is a normal delicacy among our relatives! i think it was being served at my paternal grandparents' house. the curry smelled good but i couldn't bring myself to bite things with moving legs.
people were telling me, if you don't want the beetles, you should sprinkle the food with more seasoning, which of course, makes the food hotter. so i had to decide between a mildy hot still edible (supposedly great-tasing) food with live beetles or insanely hot nearly inedible food that doesn't crawl in your mouth. what kind of choice was that?
the beetles even came in candy form. i was kidding around with my cousins (who apparently eat these things, everybody else did, except for me, actually) that we should throw the candies against the wall to kill the beetles before unwrapping them. but nobody seemed to get the point.
2. if eating the beetles wasn't enough, a different specie of creepy crawlies were crawling on a restaurant floor that apparently served this "dish", like some kind of theme restaurant. again, nobody seemed to be bothered by this except me.
the dream obviously sent me into screaming and kicking fits.
3. driving along with my brother and a couple of other boys in a jungle in some kind of improvised vehicle that can turn into a slide. i wasn't even scared of going down the slide when the occasion required.
4. the earlier part of the dream actually saw me being lost in the greenhills area. took a wrong turn, which i really should still be familiar with in waking life--- it was still supposed to lead me back to ortigas ave. and then i find myself in the less urban areas of rizal with a bike! i had to ask directions to get myself back to the city. and the way back was uphill, i had to carry my bike along the way. and that was when i came upon the beetle-infested restaurant.
