“A plane flying in the skies suddenly burst into flames! All of a sudden, there’s a deserted island…all that were visible was just the vast expanse of water around. The panicky feeling rises higher. Out of nowhere, a cabin appears. The breathing grows harder, thirst so much that it clenches the throat. The door opens to the cold wind, only to reveal darkness, just plain darkness. The eyes try hard to get adjusted to the darkness. Even before mustering courage to begin groping around in the dark, a blinding light makes its appearance…the light is followed by a sound, a loud screech!”
She woke up with a jolt and opened her eyes. Her heart was pounding really loud, she was shivering. She looked around the room to confirm if everything was all right, if all this was just a bad dream. Her throat was parched, and she reached out for water, only to realize she hadn’t kept water with her! She looked at the clock beside her. It had been just ten minutes ago that she had gone to sleep! She winced…was this something serious? It always followed the same course- she’d sleep, then, there’d be the illusions, the sounds, and she would find herself wide awake! It had been quite many days since she had slept well, and the stress of having had to lose sleep daily showed evidently in her eyes. What she wouldn’t give for being able to sleep well, to sleep like a baby, with absolutely no worries, no dreams, no thoughts whatsoever!
After all this, it was difficult to go back to sleep again, and she just tossed and turned in her bed. This idle-mind state brought back more thoughts. To push the worries, she sat up working, then, decided against it and began staring at the skies, with some soothing music in the background. Slowly, she relaxed and drifted to sleep, though, she still could hear the music in the background…sweet music, just music, no words. Slowly, she grew oblivious of the music also, and there was silence.
This time the cruise was going down as people watched with shock from the shore. The uproar against malfeasance at this other place seemed to capture her attention now. All of a sudden, a huge wave caught her unaware, and she was soaked to the skin. Even before she could take cover, the big tower clock struck twelve - CLANG!!! Eyes wide open, back to the panicky feeling, there she was…wide awake again!

Hmmm...reminds me of a dream I had last night to buy a packet of 'Sachin's 6-grain fitkit'...thats a biscuit packet btw. The whole night I was running around shops but not one had it.
Lovely post about your mom, btw.

Interesting dream. If I were a dream researcher (or whatever those people are called), I'd prolly find an interpretation there. All I can say is, a tiring sleep, you've had! ;)
Also, Thanks :)
It all boils down to the main problem. you are sleeping.. try and avoid that.
hows prep?
@ golden words
What has me sleeping got anything to do here?? Considering that, does there still appear to be a problem?
Also, too late to speak about prep now, I guess?
Nevertheless, nice to see you back on blogger. :)
