Everyday the bright sunshine pales to the glimmering dusk which thickens with the stars sparkling up high in the sky. During this, when my head hits the pillow, I'm enveloped in arms of sleep. As the sleep grows profound, I slip into a dream that drives me away from reality.Dreams have always been a crucial part of my life. I don't refer to the dreams that we sight with our eyes opened wide but the ones that invade us when we are sound asleep. It feels like I'm living a dual world, the one that's realism and the other that's illusionary and will never coincide with the former. Though we see a hundred dreams a night but can recall only one or two when we're woken up by daylight, but i think they do have a sort of impact on my thinking process. Every dream brings with it a lost memory and a long forgotten emotion that was once a part of our life. It's quite amazing that Some cherished moments captured by our eyes, retained by the brain are displayed in our dreams. Though these dreams last for a minute or two but they hover our minds for the whole succeeding day. They perplex our senses by creating an enigma between reality and unreality. I wonder how people penetrate into our dreams and start
taking over our minds. How some faces we have never come across in life look so familiar in our dreams, it's quite absurd and also surprising. How some dreams carry us to a world of fantasy and adventure where everything seems magical and bewitching, like flying in the sky or a chocolate river:). Methinks most of our dreams reflect our crudest thoughts and secret desires that are unexpressed to even our closest friends. I wonder why dreams that turn out to be sweet are often the most fleeting ones, how our most dreaded fears chase us through nightmares and how a dream make up a day or ruins it. While some dreams are easy to comprehend, others entangle my mind in knots. Some people take some of their dreams as bad omens and premonitions which portray dreams as something mystical and supernatural.When I was
really small, I was haunted by a nightmare(certainly a nightmare for a 4 year old)in which i get stuck in some unknown land bereft of my parents. It's only now that I realized that these nightmares only showed my adhesion with my parents especially my mother.But now my nightmares only consist of me getting poor grades in never-ending exams. I'm still baffled as to who really blend these dreams!? How dreams are so tantalizing and leave us bewildered by their falsification.
