Dreams & Material Expectations

Have you ever been in a circumstance which you find it hard to differenciate dreams and reality? Have you ever woke up one fine day and realised the stuff that you've been doing which feels so real,so genuine as if you're really doing it isn't happening in the first place?

I have the courtesy of experiencing such a dream.I dreamed of going back to law school part time while working.Everything seemed so real including my classmates,lecturer,studying materials and the length of time we took to study and sit for exams.It gets even more strange as i experienced dreaming about the same dream everyday as if one dream is a continuation of another. Day by day as i come back from work and get into a deep sleep it was time for class to begin.

Theory of inception? someone planted this dream into my head? It would be cool if it really did happen. At least i wouldn't sit here blogging and feeling so lost . Perhaps it is this gut feeling in me that would like to return to my studies. No, i have made a deal with myself to save up to buy a house and purchase a new car. Studies can wait. I need to work hard to get a golden bone to shut the mouth of those who looked down on me.

I have always had the impression that i would get a house build once i am steadily married but according to my sister ,getting a house should be made a priority before getting a car or buying a new car. Eventhough this idea sounds absurd but it does have its logics from a financial standpoint. My sweet old granny in the other hand,provided her point of view from a traditional standpoint. According to grandma, i am the only son in my family so my parents house would eventually be my inheritance and i need not worry about not having a house of my own.

Well,i do not know if my parents live by that concept but it does feel good to have a house that i build with my own earnings. It is a good investment. My house isn't necessarily occupied by myself . I can always rent it out and wait for its value to increase and sell it off.I have a lot to think in my mind right now. I am controlling myself from buying a car first eventhough Alza seemed so tempting as if its calling out for me. I should get a house first but it feels really inconvenient to not have a car that belongs solely to me instead of sharing with my family members.
