Dream a little dream



Do you remember your dreams when you wake up? In case you do, do you have a recurring dream- one which is associated with a particular instance of your past, and now keeps coming back, and you feel so helplessly trapped in that figment of time that even if you know that it is just a dream, you are not able to come out of it…

I keep getting such a dream- and it sounds silly to say that I keep dreaming of my time in college- that I have bunked quite many classes, and now am frantically trying to remember what to write in the C++ exam paper…  and almost always, the dream ends with my roommate scolding me on why I keep neglecting my studies and how it will affect my placements (!!)…

Needless to say, it is scary and when I wake up, I am all drenched in sweat and glad to have woken up- it feels so real- the fright, the tension, and Priyanka’s scoldings…

When I talked to my husband about it, he told me he gets similar dreams(though he doesn’t remember much of his dreams) of the time when he was in 4th std. My Mom gets dreams of her 10th std Math paper! Just to imagine- she, well settled in her life with her kids all grown up, and she keeps waking up from Math scares from her past!

It is like a part of our soul is still stuck in that time wrap, and comes to haunt us when we are in our deepest slumber… Or like they say in horror movies- there is still something left undone at that time, and will linger on till it is led to completion… but how?
