Living in a Nightmare..!!!!
I am having frequent nightmares, every time I
close my eyes I woke up with a start & sweat but I forget what I have been
dreaming about. Still I crave for a sleep and dreams, but I don’t know what I am
seeing in my dreams and what is making me so afraid! Once I thought I have to remember what I am
dreaming, it is happening in my brain so I have to train it to remember. I
tried and tried one-step at a time; I started to remember glimpses of my dream.
Then one day I remember all of it. I was not having a nightmare I was alive,
having a life, a beautiful Utopian life, with bright light, love, laughter and
peace. The sun shining bright with a pleasant warm feeling, the moon in the
night so silvery and gentle, I read, I sing I smile and wonder about anywhere I
want, but then I come to a dreadful realization that I am dreaming, this happy
place is not my life it is not anybody’s life, it cannot be reality, it is a
dreamworld a neverland one must call it that I read in the stories. The land I
live never known peace, though it craved for it, the sun shines but with hate
and anger, people can’t read, sing or say anything that they want, if they are
nobody then they don’t matter, if their words don’t match to the beliefs of the
people with deadly weapons they must die like nothing. Here one word is enough
reason to kill someone. But we are well designed to withstand any violence nay
inhumanity, maybe we died one day without realizing, that is why nothing affects
us, we hardly ever scream in desperation, we hardly ever cry for anything real.
We are more
evolved now, emotionless machines. And among us who accidentally left with little emotion and not quite machine yet we kill them, we try to kill their mind or
their body, though mind is more important and dangerous because a creative,
curious, rebellious mind can infect many more so kill the mind, the body will
die eventually. But do machines dream? May be they do, may be the evolution is
not yet done. Maybe we are still a little human inside.
We scared of death, because we don’t know what
is waiting for us behind the dark veil, but what if we know where we were going
back if we woke up? In a dream that so beautiful and peaceful waking up is a
curse and it is heartbreaking and terrifying, it is bad not knowing but it is
much more worst that knowing where we are and where we have to live in fear in
hate in despair, we cannot avoid, we cannot change. So I woke up terrified with
a start and my brain forgets the wonderful dream just to remain sane in this
cruel brutal reality. In dreams I live, and I die when I
wake up.
