"When we are asleep in this world we awake in another"
~SALVADOR DALI

The day you first open your eyes and see the world , you
start seeing the Reality , with the eyes wide open you look around , you see
things , you learn. But then comes a time, when you learn about the world you
can see with your eyes closed . They are dreams ,known to be the place where
one can live one’s wishes . But when you open your eyes , you find yourself
in a different but familiar world . You live here , walk here, laugh here, cry
here . You make wishes in this real
world that may listen to every wish you have ever made but they never come
true. Whereas, the world of dreams always has a lot to give. Here our wishes
come true and there is a lot to smile about and you can feel it with your soul . But
you know what…. Dreams are lies.
They make you feel like you are finally living
your fantasies ,your wishes , you are finally satisfied and
feel peace ...... they lie. You can never be
there . They take you to different places and once it is over you cannot feel
it or see it ever again . Here’s what’s funny about the real world , it never
changes . Here we cannot experience the satisfaction we get in the dreams or in nightmares
. Yes , I have a little different definition about nightmares . Usually , when
it is a bad horrible dream . we name it nightmare , but think again . Aren’t
nightmares the realities we don’t want to go back to ?
They are real thoughts that disturb you , makes you see
things you don’t want to see . but same are the dreams . They make you see what
you want to happen , what you makes you happy .
We are never in deep
sleep while we dream . Our subconscious mind is active and you travel to your
land of bucket list. Here somebody wants to be on a magic carpet , somebody
wants a Ferrari and somebody only smiles for finally having a roof over his head. Not in reality
but still, different soul finds there inner peace in there wishes. The coolest thing
about dream is while you are dreaming you forget about the cry, the stress,
the fight, the mess , the tear and pain you face in real world . From a little
kid to an old man and even a moribund heart on a hospital bed , dream . They
dream of ecstasy , love and laughter . We dream small, we dream big . And sometimes
we ask ourselves “ will they ever come true ?”
Sometimes this hope this wish makes us feel heartbroken
,when we realize , we will never make it to the place we want to see, never meet the person we want to meet, never can turn back time to live the beautiful
moments we cherished with the loved one , then everything seems to fade away .
But we still hope , we embrace the happiness ,afterall the heart wants what it wants.
Because , it is the wish even you don’t know when you made , back in your mind
you kept thinking of it wanting to be true . Dreams are weird , they not always
make sense . The piece of heart you leave in everything , every
person you find
desirable guides you to your dream .
But what if the dreams which are in your eyes but they are
gone the moment you fall asleep . What would it be like if you never had good
dreams when you sleep ? What if there are only nightmares that chase you and
its only dark when close the eyes ? Sometimes, there are screams ,cruelty and
horror you see and they jolt you back from sleep every night .

"Sometimes you need to close your eyes
to see whats inside you." |
It is scary and
you feel helpless because every night
you think what if you see them again ? And the dark land of nightmares
keeps on torturing you . The cruel faces of the ones you are scared of or the
bloody night where you still remember yourself running from those lowlives.
The disappointments, weakness , hopelessness hurt you brutally when everybody
else is asleep . They feed on your fear . Make you feel alone even in a crowded
place . It take s over the brain and even serotonine does not help you anymore . Then
you become vulnerable and that is a nice and easy victory for the fear .
One
cannot run from the reality or the things that cause the panic in a feeble mind . Instead one should teach oneself how to fight
the fright. It is okay if we cannot live a
life as happy and perfect as dreams are , there always will be ups and downs , will be
uphill journey that involves failure and obstacles for existence , everywhere
on this strange planet . But we should not live with the terror and let it live
with us .
