I had a dream. It felt like I was in a late night comedy show which I'd been watching when I was a kid. In this episode, one of the characters, an old man who owns a small store looks particularly sad. Nobody knows why, until a group of young strangers visited the place and told the people there that the old man is going to die. They came to fetch his spirit. It needs to happen.
The group has in it apprentices who had to prove that they could indeed fetch the old man's spirit, and so make people die in the process. That's their test. This dream made me experience how it feels like to be in the position of that old man, that is, to be a target of spirit fetchers. So I found myself in a busy street when suddenly, a man run amok, came in with his gun and started shooting to my direction. He kept shooting until eventually, he got me.
The main comedian in this sitcom is an old family man, let's call him Dolphy. He is a close friend of the dying old man, let's call him Thomas. Being the main star of the show, there should be a scene where he would encounter the spirit fetchers and he would come to understand their purpose, and that's what happened. Dolphy agreed to help the spirit fetchers catch his friend Thomas' spirit.
In the later part of the story, I took the role of the apprentice who had to take Thomas' spirit. It looked like robbery, and I had to do it very subtly. So I came to the old man's place, and like Spider Man, I attached my feet to the wall above the old man's door. I sprayed some solution to my body so I would appear invisible. However, I still fell to the floor and was caught by many people, some of whom I personally know.
It seemed I couldn't accomplish my mission until Dolphy, the star comedian, came in to help me by convincing Thomas to give up his attachment to life, hence, surrender his spirit to me, the spirit catcher.
Another scene—my father turned off the tv and advised me that I should get married soon, so I don't become like Thomas, the old dying man in the sitcom, who's been alone all his life... who has no one but an old friend who acted like a traitor convincing him in the end to give up his life. I told my father that the reason why they made that episode was because the actor behind Dolphy, who was also the producer of that show, was very concerned about his own mortality at that time.
Suddenly, the scene in my dream became gloomy. I saw some construction workers fixing some part of our house, then I heard a loud voice similar to my dead grandfather's saying, "You saying I'm about to die?" All of us there felt afraid. I shouted, "Who are you?!" Father gestured that I should keep silent and told me that's the reason why he believes in ghosts, because we know that old grandpa already died. The construction worker dabbed my neck with a sharp object, I woke up...
Both my grandfathers weren't the most sociable people I know. My paternal grandpa died alone inside his hut on a faraway mountain. My maternal grandpa died in this house. The old man was shouting prior to his death, words we couldn't comprehend, my mother chose to ignore him, none of us went to his room. The next day, he died. I did not even attend his funeral because I was busy at work. Yeah, there's not much love in this family, unlike in others. I don't want to die like them.
As I go out of the house, I see familiar people doing their thing, pushing carts, gawking their products. It's been like this since I was young. The only difference is, these people got older, and some appear terribly deteriorating now. I remember that man I was buying sweet tofu snack from when I was young. Now I would not buy food from him again because he looks terribly sick.
