Dream: Lost in the City. The Hill.

The city.
I was driving on my way to Ayala.
I was coming from the south and had to take the highway route.
I remember that I had to take one left turn in order to reach my destination.
I just kept on driving and driving.
I still haven't seen the turn.
I decided to go back, maybe I had not noticed it.
Still driving.. and driving.. and driving.
But I still cannot see the turn.
That's when I realized I was lost.
I just kept on going on, hoping I could reach some place familiar.
Well, at that stage, I was not driving anymore - I was already walking.
I continued to walk.
I noticed a very small road, something only one person could enter.
Maybe that's why in my dream, I had to lose my car.
I decided to walk myself towards there.
I noticed that the road is going uphill.
Upon walking, I found it much "greener".
It seems just like what "probinsyas" would look like.
There was this part with a gate.
I tried getting myself in but it seems I am not allowed.
I continued walking up.. and up.
There was this unexplainable joy.
A feeling of peace.
Even if it seems I was the only person there, I was not lonely.
There were no worries.
I was secured.
That moment a thought came into me.
"Tell the Lord what you desire."
I then found myself speaking of all things I usually pray for.
I was speaking of my family, of world peace, of equality of men, women, rich and poor, and all other things I have not realized I may have secretly desired.
When I finished, I found myself on the very top of this mysterious hill.
I saw the whole city.
It seems I am on top of it all.
I am no longer lost.
I began walking downhill so I could go back to the city.
Suddenly, some inner voice tells me, "Do not forget."
I stopped before reaching the city grounds.
It's as if the feeling of getting back to reality suddenly struck me.
I want to turn around and go back to the hill.
I turned back.
And then...
I woke up.
