It’s 4:30 am. For the last few nights, I have been having the same dream. I am not sure if it’s a dream or a nightmare, but I do end up with my eyes wide awake in the middle of the night. When I was a kid, I never used to dream. It was a bit worrying actually. Kids my age used to discuss their dreams during recess whereas I had to make up stories just to be a part of their conversation. There is this one story that I had told so many times that now I get confused if it was a made-up story or did I actually dream that. Anyway, my no-dream streak broke a couple of years ago. I remember I was coming back from the office and I saw this guy on the train, with very distinctive features. He was rehearsing something very animatedly. From the corner of their eyes, everyone was watching him. It felt like we were living in one of the early pages of someone’s biopic. That night I had dreamt that the guy has become a huge star. He has started walking on red carpets and all. At one of his movie’s premieres, I get the chance to meet him and tell him about the train story. He says he remembers that and even remembers my face. “Even I don’t remember my face”, I say. “That’s because you are in your dream”, he says and moves on. That’s when I woke up. Good dream. After that, I met the guy a bunch of times in my dreams. And the conversation is always about what am I dreaming about nowadays. Yes, it’s very weird.
