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.

Hehehe....funny post...my latest dream was abt getting into a decent house...n i have recurring dreams abt falling frm stairs...i usually wake up thinking i fell...i actually feel i m falling u knw...:):)...any interpretations???
I agree with you in your comment. Enjoy the good moments and treat the bad/sad ones as a nightmare..But I would to like to add to it. Since dreams are a way to perceive somethings which may or may not have happened in real life, if not more then atleast we can get some insight if such a thing were to happen in real life, we would be better aware of!!! Like in my case, to reach Airport before 3 hrs for an international flight!!
Sil, in your case, now you know you should be careful in climbing your stairs!!! but yours is funnyy too.. moving into a decent house and falling off stairs!!! hahhaa
rohan, and terrorist!! ye baat sapne me hi aachi haii!!!! ;-). Maybe when i will have lots of money, I will make a movie on terrorist and guess what.. you will be playing the lead role for that movie ;-). "ise kehte hai ki sapna sakaar karna !!"" no worries, no dramas..
Yup...so true...dreams indeed reflect your unconscious .....They can be desires, unfulfilled yearnings or misgivings too!!!!!!!
Dream on.......for if you don't dream you will never achieve what you think is beyond your ken!!!
what do u think?????
"Green eyed Goblin", I agree with you.. That is the reason why I wrote in the concluding lines that "DREAMS...A way to visualize what might not always happen in real life! "
They are the only places where you wish to fulfill your desires or some bad things which you wish might never be true in your real life..
As rightly said by you, Dreams can achieve what you think is beyond your vast imagination..
