Usually I dream every night. And I can recall my dreams when I woke up. But after I meet up with the mobile phone salesgirl, or about 2 weeks after adopting my 3rd kumantong, and after I had that red blanket dream(nightmare), something strange happened.
For a few nights, I did not receive any dream. Zero. Nil. Nothing.
There was nothing that I can do about it. I just want to get back those dreams soon. Dream world is like another realm, a beautiful space which allow me to escape from reality.
I did get back my dreams. It started with short dreams which are hard to recall. After a few nights, the dream machine started working normally again.
When young boys, babies or unborn foetes met unexpected early death, and when their souls, for some reason, are stuck on earth and are roaming the streets, being homeless and hungry; some Buddhist monks in Thailand will invite these souls to accept the Buddha teaching and later invite them to reside in kumantong statue and amulet. Human can adopt these kumantong out of kindness and treat kumantong as adopted son and offer them shelter and food until the time when they are reincarnated.

My mind went blank and I felt lost
About a week after adopting my 3rd kumantong, I had a rather unusual dream. In the dream, I was covered by a red blanket. I can see my own head under the blanket. It is unusual because during the dream I can't remember a thing. My mind was blank. I don't know who I am, where I am, which year it was, why I am in this world, I can't think of anything. I was looking around at the blank space around me. I tried to think of something but I couldn't recall anything.
This went on for quite awhile until I started to panic. I am lost in the unknown.
Then suddenly this red blanket was removed by a boy. And my memory started flooding back to my mind.
An old man appeared telling me that the boy is my second kumantong.
The boy started moving his body and his hand in a dance-like movement.
The old man told me that the boy will dance in that way after successfully completing a mission.
The way the boy dance resemble a helicopter.
My second kumantong kid had saved me and was telling me that he likes the toy helicopter.
....................................................................
The next day, when I was packing my kumantong pouches into my bag, I realized that my 3rd kumantong pouch is a red pouch, reminding me of the red blanket that had covered my head in that strange dream.
I tried to be optimistic. Maybe the 3rd kumantong was trying to purge out the toxic in my mind. But the 2nd kumantong noticed that I was in panic and suffering in the dream and thus had come to my rescue.
I reminded them that they are brothers and should try to live in harmony no matter what happened. Every member of the family should care for each other.
I laughed loudly and happily and told them that I am proud that each of them possessed great skills which are different. They can complement and strengthened each other with their different skills. At this moment, I was curious about what skill my 1st kumantong possesses.
By the way the old man in the dream is probably the Hoon Pa Yong or the bodyguard spirit.

He is different from his 2 brothers
After I adopted my third kumantong, I noticed that I often caught the attention of the little children around me. This felt unusual. I guess that the 3rd kumantong likes to play with other young children and babies.
Another difference between this kumantong and his other brother is that on the 3rd day of adoption, he appeared in my dream. This is the same for my second kumantong whereas it took about 3 weeks for my first kumantong to appear in my dream.
This 3rd kumantong appeared in my dream as a chubby little kids who had just learnt how to walk. He is wobbling and chasing me in the dream. He laughs all the time. I estimated that he is about 2 years old.

The rain waited for me
A day after I adopted my third kumantong kids, I visited Wat Palelai. It is a Buddhist temple. I went there to get blessing from the monk for my kumantong and for myself. The big temple is nicely built and I want to explore it. But after waiting for my turn to receive the monk's prayer, the sky had turned dark and was covered with rain clouds.
I made a short prayer begging the rain to not start pouring til I had left the temple as I did not bring any umbrella. After that I took my time to explore the temple. It had not rain when I left the temple and walked towards the bus stop.
Just when I reached the bus stop, the rain started pouring heavily. I felt so lucky.
By the way I also bring home some flowers and holy water for a 'flower bath' for getting rid of bad luck and bringing in of the good luck. Great harvest from this Thai temple trip.

They don't like to play with other children, puppy and cat
After I adopted my first kumantong, I brought it to children playground to observe how the children react to it. There wasn't any response.
I also brought the kumantong to a pet store that sell many puppies. Again, there wasn't much responses expect for a black puppy that keep starting at my bag which I had left about 2 steps away from where I was standing. I had kept my kumantong amulet in my bag.
I have done the same experiment when I adopted my second kumantong. Pretty much the same results. My conclusion is that these 2 kumantong kids are older kids, probably around 5 years old and thus did not like to play with toddlers and babies. And they don't like pet dogs and cats too.
Maybe that is also the reason why they don't like to play with tiny marble balls and rubber balls and the toy cars and appearing in my dreams fighting and shooting guns and wearing fighter pilots uniform.

How do u define a "good" girl?
My mom recently bought a pair of new mobile phone. She said the salesgirl is a good girl and wanted me to get to know her. As I am looking for new friends on this island, I accepted her suggestion.
In the afternoon of the day that we are supposed to meet up, my mom told me that the girl is seriously sick and had to rest at home and thus couldn't meet up with me for dinner later that night. Maybe for some reason we are not fated to become friends.
A week later I dreamt of a mobile phone and a map. I saw those 2 items floating in the air. Can't figure out what they meant.
A few days after that, my mom told me that the girl had recovered from her illness. Then I started to sense the connection between the dream and that girl. She is a mobile phone salesgirl!
My mom also had told me that she is a Christian. In my mind, I know that Christian can't accept kumantong.
I had a big revelation (which may or may not be true..) I had recently told the kumantong that I won't choose a girl friend who can't accept kumantong.
Could the kumantong kids have caused the girl to fall sick in order to prevent her from meeting up with me? I laugh and laugh loudly and told my kumantong kids that if that is true, then they have been very, very naughty.

The reward for searching the green ball
It's the weekend and the mall was very crowded. I wanted to buy a packet of chicken rice for a quick lunch back at my store. But the shop was closed. So I went to the restaurant for a long, enjoyable lunch.
After lunch I went to stroll at the supermarket. I wanted to search the toy section for the green ball. I had dreamt of a green ball the size of a soccer ball. At another 2 toys stores, I had seen a ball with a mixture of colors and a small one with a funny shape. Those are different from the one that appear in my dream.
A short while after I had walked into the crowded supermarket, I saw that special girl that I missed so much. It's like a miracle. Out of the crowd this pretty girl appeared. We chatted a bit. She is still cheerful and very courteous. Still as attractive. We had not met for about 2 months and I often think of her.
I had received a big reward for putting in effort to search my kumantong kids' favorite toy.

They love crystals
I have a crystal Pi Xiu (an animal that looks like leopard) and a purple crystal pendant. I had placed my kumantong amulets at the same place.
A few days later I dream of the 2 crystals items and a happy, smiling impression of the kumantong. Those crystals are not toys... they like them?

Under the bed, under the bed
This happened 1 night while I was about to sleep. Something under the bed is knocking on the bed. It knocked on the wooden plank below the mattress twice. Such strength can't came from typical house insect.
Can a big rat or street cat or snake had crept into the bed room?
But there isn't anymore knocking after that so I just ignore the whole incident.
Might be the kumantong kids playing under the bed. Last time they played inside the false ceiling. But on the other hand, it could be ... rats... yucks... (but I haven't seen any rats in the house in more than a year)
......... update on April 2015 ..........
I had moved to another place. My room is on the 4th floor which is the top floor. There is another room beside mine which is empty without any furniture and no one staying there.
About a week ago while I was sleeping, there was the knocking sound under the bed.
While half asleep I thought the knocking was from the next room or the upper floor. But after a moment, I realized that there isn't anyone or any furniture in the next room and there is no upper floor coz my room is on the top floor! And it is quite obvious that the knocking is from under the bed!
Must be the kumantong kids playing there.. as I don't put anything under the bed.

Why I adopted my second kumantong
One simple reason is for my first kumantong to have a brother for keeping company.
Another reason is that I noticed that the kumantong can't deal or keep off rude people and customers from the store.
I thought that the power of 1 kid is too weak and the kumantong is only good at bringing prosperity to the store and not at store security.
Thus, for the second kumantong, I search around until I found one that is holding a small weapon. This should help in the store security, hopefully.

2 Kumantong boys looking after the store
In this dream, I saw my 2 kumantong kids standing at about a meter away from my desk looking over the whole store. My desk is at the back of the store at the right corner. They were standing at the back in the middle. They were standing straight and serious about what they are doing.
Very glad to have such caring and considerate kumantong kids.
A few weeks later, I started thinking if there could be another reason why they did not stand beside my desk. So is it true that we should not place kumantong below staircase and next to the toilet, like where my desk was?

Triggering car security alarm
These happened several times to cars parked in front or near my store. Good sunny weather, no passerby, no street cat, and the car that was parked in front of my store will start squealing by itself.
It is so strange. The car security alarm will be triggered by itself. I would just stare at the car and wait for the owner to appear soon. But nobody came and the alarm turned off by itself soon.
Maybe the kumantong kids are playing inside those cars. I just smile. I don't have an absolute answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This morning I treat my kumantong kids with potato chips - original salted flavor. Midway eating through and one of the car parked in front of the store had its security alarm triggered. I went to take a look and just a while later the alarm is turned off. Didn't see any suspicious character loitering. When I went in to continue with the chips, the alarm was triggered again. I guess the kids really liked the chips.. just wild guessing..

Kumantong is sometime spelt as Kumanthong or Gumantong or Gumanthong or 古曼童
I won't be explaining too much about kumantong in this blog. I will focus mainly on dreams that are linked to kumantong.
Kumantong is basically related to Shamanism but adapted by Buddhist monks in Thailand.

I do not recommend you to acquire kumantong from dealers. I would highly recommend you to visit reputable temples in Thailand to personally acquire from the monks there.
There are many fake amulets/statues sold by dealers that do not come from Buddhist temples in Thailand and not chanted and blessed by the temple monks who are experienced with the spiritual world.
You can minimize/avoid the risk of getting fake items by simply acquiring the genuine one personally from the Buddhist temples in Thailand.
There is a forum which I find very informative:

Don't rush to acquire a kumantong. If your soul and the kumantong soul are destined to meet, you will somehow come into contact with the kumantong. Be patient.

What is kumantong? Here is a quote from
http://www.simplybuy8.blogspot.com/2011/09/mystery-of-guman-thong-explained.html
"... ... Contrary to popular beliefs, Guman Thongs are not evil spirits as they have been blessed and accepted a vow given by the monks who made them. Their entire objective is to respect and give a helping hand to their benefactor or adopted parents.
In Buddhist concept, we have to seek right understanding in order for knowledge to arise. This concept is applied to meditation practice but certainly can be applied to other areas. It’s only through right understanding only then we can fully comprehend the knowledge. But in most cases, the lack of understanding will eventually lead oneself to believe that Guman Thong are ghostly beings that will cause backfire if they are not being taken care properly. Over the years, many names have been given to Guman Thong e.g. Black Magic Baby, Resident Ghost, Ghost Baby, etc. This actually gave a scary image of Guman Thong and a wrong ideology to many people. It must be noted that there are other black magic occults that are on the real dark side such as Phra Ngan or ghostly spirits that are purely made for evil purpose.
In my understanding we must differentiate two main entities of the underworld; child beings and ghostly beings. Both entities are residing in the ghost realm where we as humans are born in the human realm. Between these 2 entities, the real significance of a child being is that they are being converted to Buddhism by monks who made the talisman. Some child spirits are being selected because they have the Dharma seeds in them and they are deemed suitable to be Guman Thong in the form of Loop or Bucha. If a person really takes care of such Guman Thong well, it will help its benefactor in fulfilling his/her wholesome wishes in this life and the life after next. Even after the little Guman Thongs is reborn, it will still come back as deva or a being from a higher realm somehow to be of service to the benefactor.
A lot of people don’t realize that Guman Thongs can turn good or evil depending on the mind actions of their owners. Just like any human being they can be a good meritorious person or a bad person depending on his/her mental faculty. To explain this further, an owner can teach the Guman Thong to cultivate in the Dhamma and accumulate merits. Another owner with a weak deluded mind could teach his Guman Thong to do evil actions for his own personal gains knowing that Guman Thong has supernormal abilities. Guman Thongs are just little children and their fragile minds can be corrupted into evil actions or cultivated to be pure. Karma is a force to be reckoned with as it will haunt the evil doers. Teaching bad stuffs or motivating Guman Thong to do evil misdeeds will lead the owner to suffer in the cycle of rebirth. Therefore, it is right to say a person who owns Guman Thongs should have the correct motivation to earn merit for oneself as well as for these child beings.
There are various reasons why human and all sentient beings have to ceased life. But have you ever wonder why some children die before birth and why such karma takes this cause of effect? Why do monks choose these children spirits to be made into Guman Thong?
The short video clip here is a very sad tale of Guman Thong and the life they have to lead in working hard to help his benefactor in the hope of liberating itself from such tragedy. This cute video clip may make some of us feel saddened knowing that the life of being a Guman Thong is not easy as they have to work very hard to gain merits to be reborn again.
Some experts believe that once a woman had an abortion or a miscarriage, she would have sins whether it’s on purpose or not. When parents have this sin, their karma will be brought over to their descendants. Even when the unborn child is in the underworld, they will have to suffer on behalf of their parents. This is why child spirits only gets to come back after they finish their sentence in hell. Both the unborn child and parents will have to suffer due to that karma.
How long will the child spirits in the underworld take to come back into the human realm? Nobody knows for sure. But what will their sentence be? From certain folk stories all child spirits will be brought to a beach and they are required to finish a difficult task then they can swim over to the other side of the sea to reach the shore. Then they can come up and reunite with their parents. Do note that they are naked and have to bear with hunger and colds. They are required to conduct these tasks before they are able to be reborn with a parent in the human realm.
1) Build a tall pagoda with bricks.
2) Obstacles will be the strong current of the waves that will flush away the bricks.
3) Hell Guardians serving as coast guards holding big clubs with sharp thorns will be patrolling the beach to prevent the children to swim across without finishing their task. Whenever they get to see a Pagoda tall enough for them to finish, they will hit the Pagoda to prevent them from finishing or hit the child who stopped half way. They will hit the children without any mercy and see that they are bleeding and wounded but still working hard and in building the Pagaoda as their only way out to safety.
Those child spirits who can get their pagoda finish will be the luckiest ones. This is the reason why a lot of parents or woman who aborted babies before only gets to feel their lost child's presence after a few years. But some parents will never get to feel or see their lost child.
For those who really get to finish the difficult task and managed to swim across the cold ocean just to survive so that they can come back to find their parents may be dismayed. It would have been a few years already and most of the parents are already with newborn children. And that is why, we have cases like Child spirits hating and hold grudges as they never get the chance to live as newborns. And this is where we have child spirits that cannot leave in peace and follow their parents where ever they go. Some of these unfortunate children spirits can understand. But some cannot and they are grieving deeply.
There are such parents who do not know that their deceased child have suffered so much because of them. Without knowing and fearing that their own child spirit, the heartless parents can even go to the extent to employ exorcist to kill their own child spirits to prevent the child from going near them.
This is why we will have Great ‘Gaeji’ Monks or Ajahns specialized in this field helped them to relief their pains and suffering. Giving them a chance to be loved once again, it is also a chance for them to accumulate merits and help adopting parents (e.g. Guman Thong owners) so that these benefactors can help redeem the child beings sins in order for the child beings to go for a happy rebirth in the Deva realms. ... ...

Some experts believe that once a woman had an abortion or a miscarriage, she would have sins whether it’s on purpose or not. When parents have this sin, their karma will be brought over to their descendants. Even when the unborn child is in the underworld, they will have to suffer on behalf of their parents. This is why child spirits only gets to come back after they finish their sentence in hell. Both the unborn child and parents will have to suffer due to that karma.
How long will the child spirits in the underworld take to come back into the human realm? Nobody knows for sure. But what will their sentence be? From certain folk stories all child spirits will be brought to a beach and they are required to finish a difficult task then they can swim over to the other side of the sea to reach the shore. Then they can come up and reunite with their parents. Do note that they are naked and have to bear with hunger and colds. They are required to conduct these tasks before they are able to be reborn with a parent in the human realm.
1) Build a tall pagoda with bricks.
2) Obstacles will be the strong current of the waves that will flush away the bricks.
3) Hell Guardians serving as coast guards holding big clubs with sharp thorns will be patrolling the beach to prevent the children to swim across without finishing their task. Whenever they get to see a Pagoda tall enough for them to finish, they will hit the Pagoda to prevent them from finishing or hit the child who stopped half way. They will hit the children without any mercy and see that they are bleeding and wounded but still working hard and in building the Pagaoda as their only way out to safety.
Those child spirits who can get their pagoda finish will be the luckiest ones. This is the reason why a lot of parents or woman who aborted babies before only gets to feel their lost child's presence after a few years. But some parents will never get to feel or see their lost child.
For those who really get to finish the difficult task and managed to swim across the cold ocean just to survive so that they can come back to find their parents may be dismayed. It would have been a few years already and most of the parents are already with newborn children. And that is why, we have cases like Child spirits hating and hold grudges as they never get the chance to live as newborns. And this is where we have child spirits that cannot leave in peace and follow their parents where ever they go. Some of these unfortunate children spirits can understand. But some cannot and they are grieving deeply.
There are such parents who do not know that their deceased child have suffered so much because of them. Without knowing and fearing that their own child spirit, the heartless parents can even go to the extent to employ exorcist to kill their own child spirits to prevent the child from going near them.
This is why we will have Great ‘Gaeji’ Monks or Ajahns specialized in this field helped them to relief their pains and suffering. Giving them a chance to be loved once again, it is also a chance for them to accumulate merits and help adopting parents (e.g. Guman Thong owners) so that these benefactors can help redeem the child beings sins in order for the child beings to go for a happy rebirth in the Deva realms. ... ...

A visit to the Kwan Yin temple at Bugis
Another beautiful weekend with beautiful good weather.
I had initially planned to visit a Thai temple but find the location a little out of place and inconvenient, so I ended up making a trip to the Kwan Yin temple at the busy Bugis street area.
There is a amulet store along the way. Since I will walk pass the store, I just go take a look. Saw a kumantong amulet and picked it up. The amulet sent a strong electric current to my finger and I quickly put it down. I picked up several other amulets but I don't feel any electric current from them.
I picked up the same kumantong amulet again and it still sent out electric current to my finger.
I did not acquire that kumantong amulet as its source is unknown. And my motive for this trip is firstly to visit the temple.
Went straight to the temple for prayer and left the place soon after.
The next day, my mind is still occupied with the thought of that kumantong amulet. It is not a beautiful new amulet. Should I take a chance?
My instinct told me that it's worth taking the chance. Yes, I adopted that kumantong and named it Star Sirius, like the mysterious star in the sky, since its source is a mystery to me!

A green ball
In this dream, I saw this green ball the size of a soccer ball. The color is similar to apple green.
I had given small green marble balls and small green rubber balls (golf ball size) to my kumantong kids. But I think they had not played with them yet. I placed some of them on the table but they didn't move a bit and I have not hear them playing with them at night.
If I go buy a big green ball, will they want to play with it?
Nevertheless, in my next few window shopping trips at the toy stores, I will watch out for this big green ball which I had seen in this dream.

A quota of 3 more kumantong kids. Is it time to adopt another kid?
It was the weekend. I can't remember if it was a Saturday or Sunday. The weather was good. I went to the shopping centre where I had previously acquired my first kumantong kid.
However I didn't feel good entering the shop. At that time I did not bring enough cash. So I tell myself that if I can find a red ATM machine, I would withdraw some money and then walk into the amulet store.
Couldn't find a red ATM machine! So I left the shopping centre.
I went to another shopping centre some distance away. This is where I had acquired my 2nd kumantong kid. I saw a kumantong amulet that I find attractive. The smile on the kid's face seemed genuinely happy. I also saw another amulet which I like.
I intend to get these 2 amulets.
But the salesman is rather not keen to serve me. He just sit at one side and chat with his colleague. So, I left the shop.
It is not a good day to adopt a kumantong kid.

Many, many poor ghosts. I don't run an orphanage or refugee camp!
This is not a scary, horror dream. But a rather sad one.
Many thin, weak, haggard, dirty, sad-looking ghosts in shabby, torn clothing were walking weakly and slowly towards me.
The impression that I had of them is that they wanted to follow me and be part of my family (and not to haunt or harm me).
It must be my 2 kumantong kids bragging to them that they enjoy living with me.
I told these ghost to STOP walking towards me. Not that they were scary, in fact there is no feeling of fear here. I told them that I am not going to invite any of them into my family and I won't be offering any food or anything to them.
I asked them to return to the place where they had came from (where they initially haunt).
Lately I had seen more ghosts appearing in many of my dreams. I don't welcome it. It has to stop.

Another dream of a pregnant woman
This is a rather blurry and difficult to recall dream.
Usually I can still recall a dream after I woke up. But for this one I can only remember seeing a pregnant woman in the dream. I can't recall any other detail. In fact I had actually almost forgotten about this dream.
Now what? Another baby kumantong on his way for me to adopt? I don't want to adopt many kumantong kids. I may consider adopting only up to a maximum of 4 because I want to get to know each kid well. I want to feel their individuality, to know their personality, to know what they will do and what they won't do.
Another reason is that I can't offer too many food, drinks and toys and thus can't adopt too many kumantong kids. Not forgetting that I don't even have the resource to set up a small altar!
There is another coincidental reasoning: I only have 4 antique toy cars. 4 kids max, right?

Pregnant ghost and a pregnant lady about to die
In the same dream, 2 pregnant woman appeared.
First the ghost of a pregnant woman moved past, kind of floating, in front of me. Very clear scene. Initially I thought I saw a pregnant woman but the woman then became slightly transparent and then disappear.
The next scene was that of a pregnant woman sitting inside a car. She had strapped on the car safety belt and the car is stationary.
Then there was electrical sparks everywhere inside the car indicating electric short circuit. Small amount of smoke started appearing around the sparks.
Then there was a voice saying that the car will soon catch fire and explode.
After that I somehow appeared inside the dream trying to free the woman from the safety belt. I couldn't unbuckle the safety belt as the metal parts of the safety belt lock had become very hot.
The woman was shouting and crying in panic.
The next moment I myself was pulled away from the car by an invisible force. The woman is still stuck in the smoky car struggling to free herself. And the dream ended here.
The dream is in full colour but is silent other than the voice that I heard speaking to me.
I interpret this dream as informing me that the souls of those 2 dead unborn babies are on their way to find me for kumantong adoption in the future.
I am pleased to received this dream because I believed that my 2 kumantong kids are happy to be living with me and thus invited the other 2 souls to join the family.

Bullet train .. not the antique chooo chooo train
I saw this modern train in the dream. It was a beautiful bullet train.
I am keen to buy a train set and place the 2 kumantong toy houses along the track and maybe place some toy trees and animals along the track too. I can also park the toy cars beside the houses.
I only have 2 kumantong kids at that time but strangely I already have 4 toy antique cars and 6 toy houses, as if in anticipation of more kumantong adoption in the future.
However I am facing an obstacle. I don't have a place for an altar, even for a small one.
Where am I going to place a train track? So I put this idea on hold.
Whenever I window shop the toy store, I will keep a lookout for train set. Until today I have only seen the antique toy train set. Haven't seen a bullet train set yet.
I always bring along my kumantong kids when I visit the toy stores so they know I am not lying to them. Anyway they know I don't have space for a train set.

Both seeking permission to fly the fighter planes and requesting the same plane model
The scene is that of a pilot school. The 2 kumantong appeared as 2 trainee pilots requesting permission to practice flying the fighter planes.
The first kumantong was quickly granted the permission and was assigned to fly a certain fighter plane.
The second kumantong was not granted the permission yet and still waiting.
The first kumantong was asked to start the training session. But he did not want to leave the second kumantong, his adopted god-brother, behind. So he rushed into the office to plead with the officer with the authority to grant the permission.
To my surprise, the officer is me!
His brother had also requested to fly the same model of fighter plane as him. I was touched by his love for his brother and his sincerity to help his brother.
The permission was granted.
I did not buy any toy fighter plane for the kumantong so I was surprised that they wanted to fly fighter planes.
For the next few weeks, I visited several toy stores in search of a fighter plane for my 2 kumantong kids.

Dancing on a chess board happily
Finally my first happy dream of my kumantong.
There was a huge black and white chess board on the floor. I can hear happy dance music in the background.
My 2 kumantong statues were on the chess board dancing happily.
Finally no more fighting scenes.
It was a short happy dream with only 1 scene. It would be perfect if 2 dancing kids appear in the dream instead of 2 statues.
Nevertheless, it is a good start.

War, gun fights, death, appearance of kumantong
It was a jungle battle scene. There were many soldiers running, shooting. There were dead soldiers on the ground.
Shooting, shooting and more shooting. It was a long and draggy dream. Lots of different gun fight scenes. Mostly jungle scene and 1 or 2 around and inside a hut. There was a scene with a bridge. It was like watching a war movie.
At the final scene, there was a soldier, still alive, half kneeling on the ground, holding 2 dead kids in his arms. One on his left and another on his right. There was a voice saying that the 2 dead kids are my 2 kumantong.
Again, I wasn't expecting a violent dream about my 2 kumantong. And one that shows the dead bodies of my 2 kumantong!
I was really hoping to dream of my 2 kumantong kids playing happily with their toys. A forum reader thought that my kumantong kids have violent character and suggested I get a "teacher" spirit to discipline them.
No, I did not take his suggestion. It is good that the kumantong are honest. Maybe the kumantong has more stories to tell me.
And that was probably the second time I dream about my kumantong after a long while. If I discipline them, maybe they won't appear in my dream again.
I dream every night, yet I seldom see kumantong in my dreams, so I don't want to take that risk.
In some parts of Thailand and at the border regions, military/separatist/religious gun fights still occur, so perhaps the kumantong kids were from that part of the country.
Otherwise, I will assume that my kumantong like to play with toy guns and not the toys that I had gave them -cars, marble, rubber balls, cards, rubik cube.

Dream of a young chap in blue shirt before adoption of kumantong
A few days before I adopted my first kumantong, I received this dream. A young man probably around 20 years old, slightly injured, wearing a blue shirt, approaching me. It was a vivid dream and a short dream.
Make me ponder why the ghost of a young man had approached me instead of a young boy or crawling baby since my intention was to adopt a kumantong?
On the day when I went to a shop to select a kumantong amulet, I purposely avoided amulets with blue paint on them since kumantong are representative of golden boy/baby and not adult ghost.

Feeling a strange form of "heat" from my kumantong
This happened on the second day after adopting my first kumantong. I was traveling in a air-conditioned bus. I placed my kumantong amulet inside my pants' right pocket together with a few sweets(candies).
I was sitting comfortably and didn't feel anything unusual until I placed my right palm on the amulet. Instantly I felt a very hot, burning sensation on my palm and my palm immediately darted away from the amulet(natural reflex). It is like touching a burning pot.
I place my palm for a second time on the amulet and the heat is still there. This time I open the mouth of the pocket widely hoping to disperse the heat out of the pocket. And shortly after that the bus had reached the bus terminal and everyone had to leave the bus and this 'heat' issue was soon forgotten.
When I think back, I realize that when my palm was experiencing the extreme heat from the amulet, my thigh, where the amulet was resting on, did not feel any heat at all. And the sweets which I had placed in the same pocket had not melted. It seemed like the kumantong amulet can direct the heat in his preferred direction thus only my palm can feel the heat.
Yesterday when I was at the shop selecting which kumantong amulet to acquire, I did not feel any unusual sensation when I hold this piece of amulet in my hand. Therefore to experience this extreme heat issue is a rather big surprise for me.

Two kumantong statues fighting
Probably this is my first dream on kumantong. It came quite late at about 3-4 weeks after adopting my first kumantong.
In the dream, there are 2 kumantong statues fighting each other. I was surprised to see 2 rock statues instead of 2 kumantong boys in the dream.
Another surprise is that they are fighting instead of playing with their toys.
By that time I had adopted my second kumantong. So I am wondering if it is more appropriate to say that this dream came rather quickly at only a few days after my second kumantong adoption.
Is the first kumantong jealous of my adoption of the second kumantong?
