12:45 p.m.
Had a strange, vivid dream. I saw I was in a strange, foreign country, most likely Australia, it was beautiful, it was a developed, well kept country with wonderful picturesque surroundings. It was a relatively urban area.
I was in a vehicle, likely a jeep. White, yellow gold hue tan leather and spacious. I was originally in the back, I somehow moved to the front when talking to Rohan and then back again. Or something like this.
I remember there were a few people in the car, then there were two: It was Rohan Alahendra and Sandya Alahendra. They keep quiet. I think Bhakthi was there too, in the beginning, I think I saw my mum too.
Rohan suddenly says that I should stop writing. He claims that unlike in all the religions, everyone hated Buddha, he claims Buddha insulted everyone. Rohan commented it was good, clever writing, but I should stop because people hated Buddha -- they said things to explain which I cannot recall, maybe that the people thought Buddha was crazy.
We were driving past a fictional Gregory's Road in Sri Lanka, the dream seemed to flow, the fact I moved from backseat to front to back, 2 main people in the car to 3 or 4, talking to my mum separately, the magic geography, it was compelling, surreal and transitioned well in sequence, segued perfectly, it all fit.
I saw a graveyard which looked very funny. So, the graveyard was a very tiny plot of land, it had small wall, each tiny graveyard with about 6 or 8 tombstones, was carefully cordoned off by a short wall. There were altogether about 20 to 50 of the small graveyards. I looked carefully, each wall design was unique. It was grey, silver or black stones. It looked perfectly clean.
It was on the side of the road opposite Colombo International School, where Uwin's best man Revatha JB lived, I did not look at the right side window of the vehicle. I could not tell I was dreaming at all. We suddenly spoke about Lal. Or I made a comment.
I cannot remember what I said. I might have said we do not have a plot of graveyard. They told me: "why not? Lal had a graveyard plot in Sri Dala Maligawa" or temple of the sacred tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka. We talked. They claimed he had a big graveyard.
I woke up. I feel tired. But I wanted to log it, before staying in my bed to recover or gain more energy or enough energy to get up from bed. I was this way during school days, I just could not get out of bed, I am too exhausted.

When I woke, I thought that I should stop writing for a while. It is like the car, with manual clutch and gear shift. You have to slow the car a bit before hitting the clutch, balancing the clutch and shifting a gear down. I prefer automatic transmission.
