side effects of the dream catching habit...

Just like my earlier posts, this is not abut any dream i saw. But this is about my experience with the so called "Dream Catching habit". I always try to remember the dreams i see, and i write them in my diary or somewhere, i publish very few in my blog. For last 4 years i have this habit.

This habit, increased my ability to remember dreams. I tried to find the meaning of dreams for a fun. I referred, "dream dictionaries", &i searched the web to read strange dreams from various people.

Lucid dreams, phantasma, still many kinds of dreams i experienced and analyzed. I have heard about "black an white dreams". But til now i did'nt see such a thing.

Now my situation is like this, i see 7 or 8 dreams in a single night's sleep. I can't sleep well due to this. Due to my habit of remembering dreams, each and every thing in the dream remains in my mind very clearly. It upsets me.

Sometimes if i hear about any new word or any new thing, i see dreams about it in the very next sleep. This thing really gets in to my head...!
Two times i saw a dream inside my dream....!

Do you believe this...?

Journey by a train 2 an incomplete dream...

7th April 2010

Wednesday

yesterday nit, i saw a dream which was about a strange journey in a train. i saw a place( a very beautiful village) in my dream. accidently i reached there. i met 2 peolpe there who helped me.

the dream starts lik this...

i was at the alway (or ernakulam???) railway station.

it ws easy 2 go home by bus. but stil 4 a change i thought 2 catch the train & go 2 tripunitra & 2 home frm dr. i catched 1 train( didnt tk ticket). unlik al the time there was no rush in the train. the compartment was almost empty. 4 or 5 people wr sitting here & dr. i searchd 2 sit somwr alone. then dr i saw my friend "DIDHIN" sitting dr reading a book. we 2 becam hapy 2 c each othr.

i askd him wr he's gng. He told he's on the way 2 trivandrum. i told him y i got in to this train.he told this tain wont go through Tripunitra. Hearng this i changd my plan 2 gt down at CHERTHALA.

we started talking each other. train passd through many stops. i dont knw the exact station wr i shld leav. wen it stopd at 1 station i felt lik i saw the board "CHERTHALA".

my friend told, if this is cherthala then train wil stop here 4 just 2 mins. By hearng this i rushed out by sayng bye 2 him. frm this station i saw it's becomng crowded in the compartment.

it ws very rush, so tht i found it difficult 2 get out of the train. the train startd moving slowly, now i made a struggle & jumped out of the train....the train left the station...i watched it leaving..

aftr the train left, i watched around. i found this station is not "CHERTHALA" but in the board i saw som strang name.( i dont remember the name of tht place). i cudnt even pronounce the name(it was a malayalam word written in English). But it ws the 1st tim, i'm hearng such a place name in kerala. i was confusd by thnkng wat 2 do next...

i saw som people stayng here & dr at the station. i approachd 1 man( 1 bald headed old man, may be som 50-55 agd) & asked him

" Which is this place"?

"can't u read the board?" he replied bak...

again, i askd him. "which is the nearest town from here"?

now he said som name. tht was also a new name 4 me....

i again askd..

"other town near 2 this place...?"

now he made a look at me & askd me bak..

"where do u want 2 go...?"

i told "ernakulam"

"it's 2 and half hrs journey by bus 2 ernakulam from here"

hearng this i didnt understand wat al happened til now & how i reachd this strange place...

"wen's the next bus"? i askd..

"6.45 " he replid..

i chkd tim in my mobile it's now abt 6pm..

"wr's the bus stop"

he explaind me by sayng 2 go there, left, righ, straight and smthng smthng...i didnt understand wat al he said...

i told him "i'm 1st tim in this place, i dont knw this place, so can u help me in reaching bus stop"

" i already told u the way, now just go through it..." he replied..

now i started walking leavng him..aftr 5 mins i reachd in frnt of a house wr i saw a man standng in front of the gate. i askd him 4 help 2 reach the bus top. tht man understood my situtation.

"ur coming ths place 4d 1st time?" he askd...

"yaa.." i replid.

he lead me through som way...then only i noticed. til then i didnt c not even a single tared road in tht place. it was a pur village. we walked though som ways...

on the way i saw a pond full of water, which has atleast a 40-50 white lotus & blue coloured water lillies...tht was really very very beautiful. the pond was very neat & clear watrd..

again while walking, i saw som canals. very clear & neat water ws flowng though them & som white birds wer flying above the canals..i saw a very big paddy field full of water lillies & lotuses..

now we stopd walking, wen we reached beside a canal.

tht man told me.

" now we should cross this canal"

we stayd dr 4 a minute or 2. then i saw tht old bald headed man, whom i saw in the railway station, cam dr wit a boat. It ws a very smal boat. only 1 person can cros the canal at a time.

i crosd the canal 1st. then wen i looked bak, i saw both of them swimming across the canal.

they also reached this side. and we 3 started walking. the tim was 6.30 then.

now while walking i saw a very big temple, infront of it, a ground with pure white sands...

the temple was decorated..it seemd lik som festival is gng on dr...we pased tht temple.

now i saw a small township lik area. there i saw a small bus stand.

i saw a bus 2 ernakulam ws abt 2 leav. They askd me 2 get in to that bus.

i got in & wavd my hands 2 them, smiled & said thanks 2 them...

they smiled and wavd their hands...

the bald headed man said bye 2 me...

the other man cam near the bus & told me..

"wen u reach home safely, make us knw it by makng a call 2 me ok..."?

i said "suer, i wil call u.."

bus started moving...

we said bye 2 each other...

but how 2 make him knw...& how 2 call him?

i dont hav his number. He 2 dont hav my number".

i looked bak from the bus. i saw the are walking away by talking 2 each other...

it may be about me they rae talking...

now 2 and half hours 2 home...

i just fell asleep in the bus...wen i wok up, i knew stil dr's 1 more hour 2 reach home.

suddenly i noticed my father siting in front of the bus.

i went & sit beside him.....

3rd March 2008

yesterday nit, i had a dream. i dont remember it fully, but i felt it really very gud.
i remember almost al part of it. i ws very very tired ystrdy i dont knw why. i ws at my hostel. it ws raining & there was lightning outside. i kept watching it until i sleep. meanwhile i ws talking with my room mate "SOCHIN". time was abt 2.00 am. dont knw wen fell asleep.next morning i remembered the dream i had last nit....
In the dream, i think me&many(some) from my college were in a building or bunglow, which seemed like a castle. i think it had 4 floors.(i'm nt sure abt it). but i think we wer in the 1st floor & the ground floor. we wer staying dr as a part of som program from the college(arts fest or smthng lik tht). there wr many strangers from some other colleges. i ws talking with some gals in my class/colleg. then after something funny happened between us, i ran upstairs by hearing their laughter. the steps to the next floor were white and very smooth and were very good to see. they were made of white marbles. the steps were very spacious. many people were standng dr and talking 2 each other. most of them wr strangers 2 me. sudenly, while i was running upstairs some one cald me.
That was a girl. i looke at her strangly. but she began talking 2me in a way tht, it seemed i'm familiar 2 her. i becam confusd abt ths 4 a while. i tried 2 remember her. but i couldnt at tht time. but i felt tht, i knw her. But hw & whr i couldnt remember. stil i trid 2 remembr smthng.
Nw i gt a vauge idea. i knw her. i mean i had seen her many times b4. it ws durng the school youth festivals, i used 2 participat til 10th std. i had seen her in the youth festivals durng 7th,8th,9th&10th std. but stil i forgot her name. she askd me abt my other friends i had at tht time. smthng abt myself & many many othr things. but i didnt reply 2 any of her talks. and i didnt ask her anythng too. she continued talking wit me, i continud listening 2 her. we walkd upstairs while talking. In the 1st floor i saw som of my frndz(George, elvis & som othrs) sitting dr talking 2 each other & playing cards.
i tried 2 introduce my friends 2 her. i introduced George & Elvis by sayng dr names 2 her. but at tht time they didnt mind neither me nor her. they didnt even lookd at us. i becam surpraisd by dr this behaviour. she too didnt mind them & didnt even looked at them, instead just made a look at me, frm her eyes i felt i did smthng foolish at tht tim or i did smthng tht's nt fair at the moment. then she she looked at me & smild & then walked out of the room. i followed her. even at this time she & they didnt even lookd each other. she was a beautiful gal.
we walkd dwnstairs talking each other watching the strangers dr...
............................................................ (wat happend aftr tht, i can't remember)



the next morning i felt really very happy & felt very peace of mind. the dream was really gud. the gal was also very gud&pretty. but even in the dream i forgot 2 ask her name...


(actually in real life, i knew many faces which i meet only once or twice in an year only durng subdistrict/district school youth festivals. i had met & talked& became frnd wit a gal (while i ws in 7th,8th&9th std...)
we wr frnds who meet every year & bid bye by sayng "see u next year". but after 10th std my +2 was in ernakulam district. so now i wont meet tht girl ever again. coz school youth festivals ended wit 10th std)
