The Realization

I wake up lying once again in a room unknown to me. This time I can feel that I am in a bed. The ceiling is plain white with no any extraordinary designs, just a smooth painted plywood. I can feel diziness but not like the one I felt the last time. I can also hear people talking outside the room. I turn my head and I see a dextrox attached to me. I guess I am in a hospital. But why would I be in a hospital? Oh ... .... yes, our plane crushed and I must have loss my consciousness. I must be dreaming all the time. Yes, that must be the sweetest nightmare I ever had. Everything I saw was just so true and real. That out of this world dream is something like a 5D movie, for I have felt every moment down to my bones.

The door suddenly opens and my Mom enters the room.

Samuel, oh dear. Thank God you're already awake. - I tried to sit down but my mother stop me.

No, sweetie. Just stay lying down. You have to recover fully first.

I can manage Mom.

Are you sure? -My Mom then help me sit while putting a pillow at my back to make me comfortable while in sitting position.

Mom, I just had my best nightmare last night.

Your ... best nightmare? Shouldn't it be "worst"?

No, Mom it was my best. Anyways, what happened?

Well, our plane was struck by something very bright and it turned upside down, making all the passengers and crew unconscious. Only the pilot and his assistant pilot remain awake after the 360 degree turn around of our airplane. The machine failed therafter but the pilots were still able to slightly manage the plane to crush in a wide rice field surface leading to a safer landing, they said.
Good thing that emergency responses from the Philippine Police, Philippine Red Cross, Philippine Army and the Local Government Unit of Calapan City was fast and reliable. Actually, I woke up we are already on the rice field, and the police and paramedics are already assisting everyone to get out of the plane immediately.

Philippine ... Police? Why would ... Philippine Police - ... ... Did we --

Oh yes, sweetie. We crashed in the Philippines. We are currently here in a hospital of a city they called Calapan.

A doctor suddenly entered our room and expresses his greetings towards us.

Goodmorning!

Goodmorning Doctor!

Uhmm, I am Doctor Jose L. Ramos, I am the doctor assigned to your son, Samuel Hudson, right?

Yes.

I know this is not the nicest time and way of greeting but still I will like to greet you.  Welcome to the Philippines.

Thank you, Doctor.

Well, before anything else, I would like to say that your son is already perfectly fine.  He just needs more rest and soon he will fully recover his strenght.

Oh, thank God!

But there is just one abnormality in one of your son's results, Ma'am.

What abnormality is that, Doctor?

Well, I rechecked it many times but I cannot be wrong. Base on my findings, your son experiences mild drowning while he was unconscious.

Drowning? Drowning? -My Mom and I look at each other and expresses our confusement with what Dr. Ramos said.

That is impossible.

I know Ma'am. I have also heard the news that your airplane crashed in the wide rice field along the highway. That is why I am also suprised. Why will Mr. Hudson experience mild drowning whereas your plane did not even touch any water surface.
