Dreams

This is my dream diary.

Bury the past -
I see a large rectangular building and realize that people (mostly children) in there are harassed.
I immediately report this to someone. That person ignores it. I am surprised. I look at the building again; I can still see that it is occupied by a lot of people who are unhappy.
I walk to a white building with a narrow staircase. On the top floor is a single room with a small window.
I can see a lady who appears to be a policewoman. I tell her about the building with its unhappy occupants.
She dismisses it and says that no such thing exists. I am hurt and angry because no one believes me.
I go to the building and check it out once again. It has changed and I cannot see any longer signs of torture or harassment. I am surprised.
I realize that the building was my school and I was actually referring to events that had occurred in my past.
Hence, no one believed me and merely dismissed my complaints. The events were not occurring in the present.



Dream 1.5 - I am asleep. I am slightly awakened when the maid knocks the door. Someone opens it. I wake up to realize that the room is clean.I go back to sleep.
I am exercising in front of a mirror, to get my technique right. I am wearing black shorts and a baniyan. I am jumping and strectching. Exhausted I fall asleep.
I am in small office. My colleague walks in wearing a ankle length skirt that I particularly like.
Another colleague hands me a pamphlet of the Guinness book of world records. I fall asleep reading it.
I am in my house in Chennai, looking out my parents room window. I can see the garden I used to, sometimes, play in. I can see a blue car. Tired, I sleep.
I am trying to find a book mark. I see that the book has pictures of a guy, in a suit, with a group of campers, with a group of racers, at a festival and a lot more. The guy is always in a suit, wearing specs that are photo-chromatic. I can see that I am that guy and it is me who is turning the pages. I realize that it is a very old book and those pictures were taken a very long time ago.
I wake up in my bed. Someone is still knocking the door. I open it and my maid enters.
I wake up and open the door.
I wake up.


My dear uncle - (I had this dream more than a year after my uncle's death)
My uncle, his wife and his son visit my house in Coimbatore. They are all well dressed to attend a wedding. My family is also all dressed up. We head to nearby temple. It is an old temple with a thatched roof. There is a small oil lamp burning near the idol. Someone asks me to go to the from and sing a few bhajans. Everyone sits cross-legged on the floor while I go ahead and sit in the front opposite to the idol. There is a dead body wrapped in white sheets. It is my uncle. I look back he is seated wearing a grey suit and tie. I notice that no one know has noticed him. I am the only one able to see him.


Durga -
I am in my home in Coimbatore. I am alone in the house. I feel a little suffocated for some reason. I find myself outside my home. I am still suffocating and I realize my face is hurting. I try to turn my head to see what it is but am unable to do so. The sun is behind me. I look in front and realize that I am in a large shadow. I can identify the form with multiple hands and weapons. It is Durga. I am Her Lion's mouth. He is not hurting me but has picked me up.


The body - (I had this dream soon after my parents left after short stay with me)
I am asleep in my bed. I wake up. It's very early in the morning and still dark.
On the floor, next to my bed, I see a body wrapped, from head to toe, in a white cloth. I sit up and am a little scared. I look at the time. Its almost dawn. I tell myself that there is no point in getting scared and since nothing can be done now, I decide to go back to sleep with the body next to me on the floor. The tube light is still on.


The lady -
I am in a bed with some woman. The bed sheets are all white and the room is white. It's very bright. The bed is also white. The sheet are white, the bed is white and everything around me is white. I sheets are long and I am lost in them. As I try to make my way towards the woman for the final act, I hear a voice. It leads me away from the bed. The voice asks me "is this what you want?". The voice says "look carefully". I get lost in the sheets but am unable to find the woman there. There is nothing.


In the flat - (all characters in this dream are my Wipro PM Academy's batchmates)
A lot of people have gathered in my house.
My house is an exact mirror image of where I live; everything is placed like a reflection.
Lots of girls and guys are sitting in a circle and chatting.
Usha is in the balcony looking out. I also notice that my house is on a very high floor.
Nitin walks in with a bag of groceries, red radishes, many bundles of methi and coriander.
Pratik suddenly bursts from a boyz group totally drunk. he is swinging and had two bottles in hand.
Hari is screaming, "I told you not to drink so much"
I get worried that my roomie will notice that the expensive alcohol has disappeared.
I look around and see Guna standing in a corner; cream colored dress. her hands are in front of her. She appears to be smiling but i am not sure when I hear Rajkumars voice - "actually, the liquor bottles are not that different from before only about so much has reduced". WHAT?!!
Nitin tells me to keep all the groceries in the fridge.
