Bonefacio Monument
Sometimes
in 1995, I had a very strange dream that I believe could be an authentic
experience of astral projection. Although it is only one of many; this one is
so vivid I could remember every minute detail as if I was physically present.
I
was standing on the steps of Bonefacio monument at the Grace Park in Caloocan
City. Commuters in Metro Manila know it better as ‘Monumento.’ On both sides of
the steps were lampposts about maybe 7 to 8 feet in height with crystal-ball
like lamps atop each post. The way the horizons looked gave me the hint of a
breaking dawn. Because the traffic was light at the Epifanio de los Santos
Avenue (EDSA); the time could have been about 5 O’clock in the morning. With the
5 hours time difference between Saudi Arabia and the Philippines, I must have
dreamed shortly after midnight in KSA.
I
passed this monument many times in the past but not since I came to Saudi
Arabia. Not in the past 15 years or so at the time. I don’t ever remember the
monument to have a stage like platform on the side facing the EDSA Avenue. It
must have been renovated since I left.
Few days after the dream, I received a call
from my eldest daughter; Norayda. She wanted to transfer to Manila Central
University [MCU], one of the oldest Medical Colleges in Metro Manila. Strange,
it is just across the street from the Bonefacio Monument (refer to the photo from
maps.google.com). Because of the dream, I said, I have no objection.
The only knowledge I have of the university’s
physical make up was seeing it from the street. Stranger still, I dreamt being
inside the University Campus at least two times before this dream.
Several
months later during my leave, my wife and I drove to the University to pick up
my daughter. I didn’t tell my wife about my dream but all the time, I was
planning to check. The ‘Bonefacio Monument’ was exactly the way I saw it in the
dream.
When
I maneuvered my car into the parking lot, I was awestruck by the two stories
white building on one side of the road (refer to the photo with the red arrow
partly covered by trees). I stood on the side of that building in the other two
dreams I had. I saw exactly the spot where I stood in the dream. Few years
later, my daughter graduated from the university and in March 2000, she passed
the Med. Tech. Licensure Board Examination.
…and
if you think astral projection from one country to another is weird or may be
okay; why not but how about going to another planet? C’mon; get out of here :-)
I
really did astral traveled in different occasions to two uninhabited planets. I
thought I was dream hallucinating but when I read many years later that such
planet could exist; I said wow!
