Once Upon A Dream

Dreams are, perhaps, the best form of enter­tain­ment. The brain comes up with a story and narrates it to you, and in most cases, you can actually partic­i­pate as a key character in the story. The plot is never boring — the brain would change the plot if it were. Pray, where else could you get access to a three-dimensional movie of this kind?

I had a dream last night. Perhaps it had something to do with my recent purchase of a laptop, because this was precisely what I was doing in my dream. Not an actual purchase, but I had a large box with the notebook in it, and I was lugging it around, presum­ably to get it home.

The twist was that in my forget­ful­ness, I kept leaving it behind at different locations — a class­room, on the road and so on — and each time, I walked back anxiously looking for it. When I left it behind somewhere on the road and then went back to hunt for it, it was returned to me by a passerby — but now the laptop was no longer packaged, and my name was printed (not written, printed) on it.

The good news is that I did get it “home” finally, although I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a house in real life.

    absolutely love the dreams– i’ve had some really weird ones where I’ve woken up and still felt like I was in the dream!

    Here’s the old question– do you dream in color? do you actually hear the charac­ters in your dream talking, or do you just somehow know what they are saying?

    I dream in color — sometimes really bright colors. I’m not sure if I really hear the charac­ters say anything…probably not.

    I was one of those asking for photos,yeah.

    Dreaming in color is said to be the prerog­a­tive of women. And anybody dreaming in color ‚man or woman, is said to be intuitive.

    @Abhishek: Yeah, pretty sure I was back home, based on intuition rather than visual cues.

    @Bekaro: No idea. I was more inter­ested in the laptop! :-D

    @Thenamelessone: Hmmm…now why am I not surprised?
