Surgery on a sinking ship

 

It must be the most fantastic dream in my life,  because it solves almost all the problems I cannot  handle.

We were in a sinking ship of a medium size,   it's like the cross- harbor ferry in Hong Kong.

I saw the ship was sinking in a 45  degree awkward position.

But there was no panic on board.

I saw the captain's wife talking with a white skin foreigner  who was a strong man around the age of 50.  The captain's wife advised  the man to learn swimming. The man refused. He dare not jump into the water to learn.

Later I found the man have a deal with the captain.  The captain was a strong Chinese man,  maybe in his early sixties.

The man agreed to let the captain do a heart surgery for him.

I was amazed that they can do such operation in such a time without any facilities.  Yet the man is happily agreed.  Maybe this is the most urgent time for him.

And I don't know why the captain can put aside the work  to  save the ship,  but to save the  white skin man first.

I asked the man, can I take a video for you?  He said yes.  I asked again.  He said yes again.

 So I rushed to my video camera. And I saw the tools are prepared.  There was a small plastic piece  like glass, with some holes on it.  And I saw some sewing needles.

It was by this time some telephone were ringing.

It was my alarm clock.

I switched off my alarm clock and woke up.

The dream didn't show  the results of the operation, nor the fate of the ship.

My dreams are always like this. They will not show you the result but certainly there is a hint  in the dream.

Do we need to do a surgery in the heart for the white skin man to save the ship?

Let me think for a while to forget it.

......

Sorry I forgot to tell you that the man seemed like  European, not American.
