DREAMS
Each and everyone of us have had some or the other dreams; Some pleasant, some terrible or frightening. If you ever put a slightest thought on it, then it may click you that dreams are the occurrence of thoughts which keep on going on continuously in your mind, sometimes bothering you or maybe something soothing your mind. Sometimes they maybe related to a miniscule thought which may have captured your attention.
Recently I had a rather unusual dream. Since now that I have a secured a fulltime job, my next thing after getting H1 is to go to my hometown Mumbai, India. The thoughts just keep on going through my mind, that in near future I will be in Mumbai. I and my roommate Chintan had just been to Washington, D.C. and that was a fun road trip. With all these thoughts in mind, I had the following dream...
' I and my Chintan have safely reached India, and are currently enjoying there. Then there came the time of departure to USA. I vividly remember that my flight was something around at 1:00 pm in the afternoon. I get a call from Chintan (staying at andheri)at 10:00 am saying that he will pick me (at Malad)in his rented car and then drop it off to the airport. (Just like what we normally do in US or tell a friend to drop you to airport. Being an international flight, you are supposed to reach the airport before 3 hrs of flight departure.)
I was thinking, "Oh Its India, everything is possible, I don't need to reach the airport before 3 hrs, just an hour or so would suffice." How stupid of me!! So Chintan comes at my place around 11:00 with his parents in a SUV. I look at the time and tell him, "Dude, we need to reach the airport atleast by 12:30. So need to move on quickly" and he says, "hey, don't worry man, we will reach there ON TIME before the flight takes off". And I am like "Yeah , as u say." Looking at the time I had, I didn't have an option, whatsoever.
Anyways I kept my stuff in car while Chintan and his parents are happily talking to my parents. I look at the time and its 12:00 pm. I tell him, "its already 12:00 pm, Can you stop talking and get in the car. We need to reach the airport." He says, "Thik hai re, faltu ka tension mat le. I will make sure that we will reach the airport." I am thinking, "OK, we will reach Airport from Malad in 30 minutes in peak hour traffic!!!" It was already 12:20 by the time we got into the car. I just looked at him to which he replied, "40 minutes baki hai abhi bhi, traffic mila to 5 minute idhar udhar, nahi to time pe pahunch jaayenge". I am like, "yeah, thanks for letting me know about it!!!"
Next thing I realize that we are at the airport in 15 minutes, and I seriously don't know how he did that!! Time is 12:55 pm. Chintan is still talking to his parents and telling them good bye and I am pleading to the airplane authorities to let me check my baggages. They told "Sorry sir, we cannot allow you to board this flight". I tell this to Chintan, who is still busy in talking and giving a departure speech, to which he replies, "Thik hai, Let me talk for 5 minutes, after that we will leave!". And I tell him, "LEAVE!!! For where!!! dude, we already missed this flight!!"
And then open my eyes, sleeping in bed, without my luggages!!!! Phew!!!!!!!!
I had a sigh of Relief when I found myself NOT IN THE AIRPORT TERMINAL!! I would have definitely missed my flight. (I already have a bad experience of missing a flight and train in US!!! And I mean it, its really a BAD experience)
So its all the thoughts which occur in your mind, or some things which you constantly think about, people you care about.
DREAMS...A way to visualize what might not always happen in real life!
