“Can’t you see?”, the lady said. She shivered.
I looked at her sympathetically.
“Poor thing”, I thought. “She needs some rest and counselling.”
“There are just two of us in this room,” she continued, “but three shadows. See the wall..”
I looked at the direction in which she pointed.
HORRORS!!!!
Yes, there were three shadows.
And as I watched, a figure appeared from thin air, a miracle. The newly appeared figure was causing the shadow. But she (yeah, the thing was a she) was transparent! The lady next to me screamed in fear. The figure even spoke (in a voice so distinctly familiar, I knew that, because I hated it) and said that she wanted to sit on my lap(!!) My throat went dry. I opened my mouth to scream. But my voice failed me at the moment. After what seemed to be hours of trying to scream, my mouth let out a faint, meek sound.
Well, as you might have guessed, it was all a dream….but I had really screamed! (yeah, that faint, meek noise was actually made) I have always wondered why my beautiful mind can never dream of something nice and pleasant. Its always either falling through gorges or from a helicopter (why not a aeroplane? I don’t know) or dashing floods or snakebites, or worse, dying!!!!I don’t stop with dying alone, I believe I’m still alive and wonder why people are not able to recognize me. I have read that dreams are a result of what the subconscious mind is engaged with. But I can’t understand when floods or snakes or for that matter, ghosts as in this dream of mine, were given the slightest importance even in my conscious memory for the subconscious to keep thinking about them. And on top of that, why do I scream aloud even though I very well know what I’m seeing is false, is a dream? Well, maybe these things go “whoosh!” over my head, but I’ve always tried to know why I get these dreams and not something nice, say the latest movie of my favourite hero or me getting into the Dean’s list and topping my coll. Sigmund Freud has given nice theories about these but it would be great if I could catch up with them too!

When u have a nice sweet dream, u jus smile to urself and continue to sleep rather dream happily.....
But when u get real bad ones or totally illogical ones(as i usually get) we dont want it to continue and wake up mostly screaming.....
Well how is my thesis :)

The disturbing things which you see or observe, tend to stay in mind and comeout in the dreams...
so, try to forget the distbg issues...
