‘Dream’ - I’m almost always amazed by this one word! Well, who’s not!? Some dreams that only flash while asleep and some with open eyes; I like to call them close and open dreams. I know at times these close dreams are so irrelative and annoying, scary and unbelievable while the open dreams are always pleasant and endearing! They make us hopeful and ambitious, passionate and craving to achieve what we dreamt…
A fast rewind takes me to class 4 when one close dream showed me running away with the little girl in my class… the dream never seemed to get out of my memory. I kept thinking for many days, (even today) what did it mean! May be I loved her company or may be I liked running (not eloping) Another day I saw my doggy talking to me exactly like humans did! How impossible, and that’s why I call them close dreams… u see with closed eyes and once u open your eyes the dreams shut the door and die in the memory!
Now, the open dreams as I said are pleasant etc etc blah blah! But hang on, they don’t die in our memories, they stay on engraved for many many years. I dreamt of becoming a big boy while in school, today I’m big and I wish I were still small … (the taare zameen par effect may be)! I dreamt of joining the best college and I got in there… wow it was superb, so heartening to realize your dreams!!! I dreamt of getting a piano, a video game a computer and what not! They seemed to be tough on the 1st day, but eventually came true.
It made me ignore all my close dreams and remember the open ones. One day or the other, the open dreams saw the light of the day! As days progressed my open dreams started growing. The list was jumbled and dreams went mobbish…
I wanted a job soon after I passed out… I got it!
I wanted a better salary… I got it!
I wanted to work for a bigger company… I got in!
I wanted to work for the best company… I did it!
I wanted the best treatment… I got it!
I wanted more… I didn’t get it!
I wanted some more… I didn’t get it!
I want something else… I haven’t got it!
I want something better… I still haven’t got it!
Oh, I haven’t got anything for a long time… I really need to get something now… !?!?!?!
Yes, the open dreams should be open, not closed! There’s a clear difference between them! Unless you open up your dreams fully they wont come true. They may get stuck in the mid-way leaving you wondering is this what you dreamt of!? It’s so bad; it was good in my imagination! I should have never dreamt; or I should have never realized this dream; it should have never come true!!!
Dreams should not be let in the air but nurtured and well thought of, so that they neither die nor become nightmarish realities.
I wanna keep dreaming openly, more openly and like to remember this as I wake up next morning for a new open dream (dreams, rather) …
You should dream for dreams become thoughts and thoughts become action and actions, realization! - Dr. Abdul Kalam
