Tell Me your dreams

Have you ever sat back and thought about the dreams that you have? No i am not talking about the ones that stem from your ambitions, your desires, your goals etc. I refer more to the sudden unconnected chain that props up most unexpectedly in your deepest of slumbers, and leaves you wondering what it exactly was?

One of my own favorite pass times is to sit back and think about such dreams that have remained etched in my memory. I always like to think about how they would have come, because i do think dreams are always a manifestation of something you perhaps have been thinking of, even if only in your sub-consciousness. And yet try as i might sometimes it just doesnt make sense as to where it came from.

Let me try and describe some of the dreams of which i have no clue why they occur. Some of them are amusing, some terrifying and some downright disgusting.

1) Let me begin with one that though has not occurred in a long time now, always sends a shiver down my spine whenever i think of it. As a young kid, i always had this dream, wherein i was falling, falling from a great height, and just when i was to hit hard solid ground, i would wake up, in a sweat. I never could relate it to anything. I mean everytime i had this dream, i would try and think of how and why did i fall. And i never did have any idea. And this was a recurring dream, which kept resurfacing every now and then. Now it has been some time since i have had this dream, but whenever i think of it, i still get the goosebumps.

2) I have had dreams of my close and loved ones suddenly dying. and somehow i see myself standing alone, yet absolutely dispassionate, as if death was the most mechanical and matter of fact thing to have happened. and i hate this dream. because it makes me hate my own self, to be seeing my those i love go away from me, and yet be so nonchalant about it. Paints a gory picture of my own self.

3) I do have my share of amusing dreams too. Once i dreamt i was getting married, and on the day of the ceremony i see my bride to be all upset and weeping. Why? because she lost one of her shoes, or rather someones stolen one of her shoes. So i am now runnin around looking for that one shoe here and there, and i finally manage to locate it, and when i give it to her, her eyes light up like anything. Woosh. thats about it. Funny eh? of all the things one would like to be seen doing on his big day, this really wouldnt be the thing to do. And try as i might like to see what this meant, i have no idea where i got this one from. It was like a bolt from the blue, and it had me laughing the whole day.

4) i have dreamt of trying to reach the end of the universe. And i never reach it. Because somewhere it completely shuts off the imagination, when you start to think of what is the boundary, what lies beyond the boundary and what beyond that beyond. Its like an overwhelming sense of emptiness that engulfs me each time i dream this. and i feel so small, tucked away in a remote corner of this universe.

Of course there are so many other things one dreams of, related to events and happenings in ones life. Most of them you can connect to something. But some like the above, remain just as unconnected and an enigma as you could think of. only to leave you in a state of trance everytime you that dream.

Dreamer is a self-confessed expert on interpreting dreams. he really is able to think through a lot of them, and give reasons that would amaze you. Maybe someday ill ask him to interpret some of my intriguing dreams for a change. But not now. sometime later.

As of now, would like to tell me your dreams?

Will you be My Pheerrrrrrrraaaaaaaaanddddddd???

"Hi there, you are looking extremely cute, i am also looking very handsome, will you be my pheeraaaaaaaaaaannnnddd, and promise to hold my hand in everlasting pheeraaandshippp for ever and ever and ever".

Ok time out. Nothings gone wrong with me. i am absolutely normally abnormal. what i just wrote was a description of what i generally find popping up on the scrapbooks of my freinds from the female fraternity, on orkut. And though they always give me a lot of reason to literally laugh my guts out, it always amazes me as to see the law of equilibrium being so totally wish washed, crushed and marauded in this absolutely inexplicable expression of ones frustration desperation and you kow what. and well my sympathies always with my freinds who have to bear these crazy expressions and requests for everlasting relationships and all the kinds of ships that keep popping up from time to time.

And everytime i read one of these hilarious ( of course irritating if you are the receipient of the message) scraps, i am but forced to think, is desperation only a male prerogative. I mean i am yet to receive one scrap asking my hand in everlasting freindship from anyone from the opposite sex. and well people do say i am cute enough. ;P.......and none of my other bretheren have received any such requests either.

anyways so coming back to these amazing scraps that i keep encountering, and which provide me enormous opportunities to indulge in some good leg pulling of my poor freinds, let me show recount some of the masterpieces i have seen.

1) you are looking cute. will you be my freind. ( upon the recepients response, he qualifies it further as " you look like a doll".....abe kyun bechari haad maans ki insaan ko bejaan vastu se compare karta hai.....tsk tsk tsk.)

2) Aami tomake prem korbo - ( ulp i hope the bengali is correct :P...this one was one awesome scrap. direct, short and to the point. come on yaar, the fact that you are from his region, is reason enough for the raja ko raani se pyaar ho gaya thingy to happen - ).

3)Hi...i am ___, i am new to this place, and want to make some good freinds and make some good fun. will you make my good freind. will you hold my hand in everlasting phreindship for every and every. and then please scrap me back. your only ( errrr,everytime i recount this one i come up with one more version, but this takes the cake for literally showing the heights of desperation....a little more and he could beat himesh reshamiyaan in my vote for kiski-akhonsephele-aansoon-ponchon contest.)

4) Hi. Will you marry me. ( another straightforward, to the point scrap. jab miyan biwi ho raazi to kya karega qazi???)

There are many more versions of the same type. They do provide some funny situations at time, but can be highly annoying at others. generally best to ignore all those awesome scraps. however sometimes, people do respond in kind like for example this one, which actually takes all my votes for being the best response ever. it was forwarded by a freind to me.

" Did i visit your profile?NO. Did i leave you a scrap or send you a freind request? NO.Did i fall on your feet and begged YOU, whose existence i had no idea of till you left me that godamn scrap, to be my freind, or ask you to send me your "precious" friend request? NO. was my "about me" section meant personally for you? NO.Then who in the world are you to tell me which networking site to join, what to do, or even what to write on my bloody profile? Go screw yourself man, you are not even worth this reply. What do you think, i am waiting eagerly for some random guy by named XXXX ( who by the way thinks he is one up on me by dissing me about what ive written on MY OWN profile) to send me a freind request and ill accept it the moment i spot it?I joined this site to have MY freinds on my list, not have some radom strangers ( like you) leaving scraps or wanting to be freinds with me. So shut the hell up. "

Woooh.....i am sure the guy in question would have committed suicide after this. or atleast removed his profile from orkut. :P. not wait, i guess some things dont change. maybe hes desperate as ever.

Anyways, my simple advice to them out there. go get a life dudes.

and to my dear dearest buddies who are the receipients of these awesome scraps, well you know best. Ignorance is bliss. he he he. so chillax.

errr by the way princess and jo......hiyaaa.......i saaaaa yaaa on orkutwaaaaa.....and i mustaaa saaayaaaa.....you are damnaaaaaaaaa what i say yaaa........so will yaaaaaaaaaa be my pheeranaaadwaaaaaaaaaaaa.......i promise...i promise........i wont ever ask ya to gift me the harley davidsonwaaaaaaaaaa........wot say ya...i wait in eternal wait.......:P.
