What do you do when you don't have a dream?? When I say 'dream', I mean it in the simple, literal sense and do not attach any pretentious, grand implications to it. It is something like you go off to sleep hoping to be transported to a wonderful world of make-believe - where everything you desire for is there for the taking ( like "pamela anderson" at your bed side ..or you getting an "EX" grade in STLD from prudhvi mam , or you passing an exam without taking "chits" or copying from the next guy :P)- only to wake up to the harsh realities of life, and the realization that one more dream-less night has just passed away!! ( and you find your "room mate" , an obvious "D" grade and a "blank exam sheet" instead )
"Missing dreams!! What a duffer!!"- you might say. Others might agree too. ( or might not also..in NITW its common)
You might be true, but I definitely miss my dreams. I miss them because I believe that they are a part of me( and because i never sleep at night :P ). They are a reflection of my inner self(if ever there was one..i doubt). In fact, more than being a mirror of your personality, they have a distinct identity of their own. Look at it this way - there are 24 hours in a day, 16 out of which you usually spend being "yourelf"( really ???). You work and you rest, you laugh and you cry, you smile and you lie - all the while describing to the world the "person" that you are.
Ever wondered what happens during those 8 (??) hours when you go to sleep?? For, even though you close your eyes, the world doesn't. Even though the "you" as you know it lies dormant, the world doesn't. And that's when the "other you" wakes up from its sleep and manifests himself to the world through your dreams.
If you look carefully, you will find that dreams are as much a dynamic and evolving persona as you are ( yeah ..i hav done a lot of terrible things in mah dreams as far as i remember :P). Try to remember your dreams 20 years ago( i was just 7 months old that time..so cant recollect...may b u can). You will realise how juvenile your dreams were and how little sense do they make now. Don't you think that your dreams have grown along with you? Don't you feel that your dreams laugh, cry, smile and lie as much as you do??
I don't know about you - but, you bet I miss my dreams...( and its morning 6 :30 now..i hav been doing nothing since last 6 hours...i should now go , sleep and DREAM :) )
p.s. : The bracketed things were inserted after i wrote the rest and started reading it ..
