Have you ever had a nightmare? Like someone is trying to kill you? And then you suddenly scream and disturb the poor person sleeping next to you or scared the shit out of him/her for no reason. Here, some legendary people are born with ability to forget what they were dreaming. Hence, when person sleeping next to them, who now is very much scared and angry and confused wakes them up, they just get angry because you woke them up!
Next level horror, you see a lizard in your dream, and while saying this I am counting on collective hate for this reptile for no apparent reason and how this reptile has terrorized many of us. For example, I cannot sleep well even if I see this reptile; dream or no dream. But unlike many, I do not scream or utter desperate words in my sleep. May be I am just a passive dreamer but certainly not when it comes to Mr. Lizard! The reference is to Cinderella movie, where Disney actually tried to show friendship between a lizard and a girl; I mean this is soo Disney! VERY REALISTIC!
But coming back to doing the cruelest thing a person can do i.e. waking up a soundly asleep person that too unknowingly, because you have had a bad dream. This poor person is now morally obliged to comfort you, no matter how badly he/she wants to hit you or scream back at you for screaming in your sleep! So he/she start telling you that it was just a dream and you should go back to sleep, and may be not scream so loudly again (assess the dream before telling this or crying episode may happen). And most of the time you just go back to sleep, well because it was just a dream!
So hear me out when I say your life is dream! No I am not high! Life happens to you only when you have you senses and mind open. Do not believe me? Try it yourself. Close your eyes and focus on any one thing for 2 minutes (Actually max you can do this is for 20 seconds but please try and focus). Now you don’t actually don’t care for anything else but that one thing in your mind! So practically nothing else happened to you in those 2 minutes even if in those 2 minutes many things happened in the world. Technically your mind and senses created a world for you! Just like your mind created a dream for you! Research also says, that there is correlation between what you see in your dream and what you think or what you see or read or anything that your senses have picked up during recent times. Well in life also you attract what you think! So isn’t life a dream?!
Dream as defined by Cambridge Dictionary: a series of events or images that happen in your mind when you are sleeping or (my addition) may be even when you are awake. You can influence you dreams by feeding your brain what you want to dream, like Disney feeds you princess stories and girls dream of prince charming! But may be tell your brain that it is A Dream and achieve it. I am not saying most of the time you will just go back to sleep even if you have had a nightmare, but most of the time you will! And if you are a legendry person, you won’t even remember the nightmare! Don’t you do the same with your life? Go back to living it even if something bad happens or may be forget the thing altogether!
So just live it like a dream. Make sure it is a Good Dream. A Big Dream. And start feeding that not so small brain of yours. Food is important; dream or no dream!
A Heart-felt world
