I was standing in the balcony, looking at the sky. I saw a very large Moon ten times bigger than the usual one, surrounded by stars and it’s raining heavily.  I was confused, when I am able to see the stars and the moon and even the sky is clear then how come it’s raining?

Within seconds the sky got filled with clouds, but it was still raining. The moon started moving ahead and then suddenly vanished.

 I walked in to my bedroom still thinking about the cloudless rain. The Dream Broke…

I am walking out of the dark forest at night along with my son, who is 5 years old and following me riding his bicycle. There’s not a single person around and I am constantly keeping an eye on my son turning back repeatedly and asking him to keep following me, he came in front of me giving me a sigh of relief, thinking I can keep a watch on him now.. We started moving much faster now and reached the well lit main road, where many females were weeping wearing white dress in wild bushes but surprisingly not a single man around. I was thinking why they are crying that too in this remote area  and was bit afraid to ask, removing all my fear I gathered courage to approach one of them, the lady said…all our Men’s, The family heads, died suddenly …... without questioning further I decided to leave the place quickly, and in few moments reached home……….” Safely”.

After reaching home I went to the first floor room and sat on the window which opens to the main road looking down…. Suddenly, there was a sort of procession, as many people started passing along with hundreds of dead bodies on their shoulders; they were taking the bodies for last rites. I remembered the lady’s words that all their Men died…. so she was right, and for the first time I am watching countless dead bodies coming one after another.

I realized all these people started moving in to my apartment and into the neighbor’s house. I am again trying to understand why are they moving into my neighbor’s house….? I thought of inquiring so I went to my neighbor’s house and asked the lady. She said….yes there was some problem many of the men died and I am just accommodating them. There were few ladies looking cheerful as their men were out of danger.

I quickly moved out of the place and decided to go to the terrace….The scene changed and I am enjoying early morning breeze on my apartment terrace, a beautiful run rise, I saw a star moving rapidly with a big tail and falling down, I decided to prey and seek a wish, no sooner I completed the wish and opened my eyes, the star turned into a motor bike with a boy riding it and a girl sitting behind, it  landed on the street and vanished in to the nearby lane…... “Shocked”, and thinking how this happened…?

The door bell rang…..The Dream Broke.

I remember traveling in the train which was moving through a forest, suddenly the train came to a screeching halt in the middle of the forest, and everyone started inquiring as to why the train stopped in the middle of this thick forest?  “A man whispered that the train stopped to pick someone”….

Everyone started peeping out of the window to know who the person is for whom the train stopped in thick, scary and deep forest. A small boy appeared from a huge rusted gate which was partially covered with bushes and boarded the train, the train started moving again. I was wondering how this small boy is residing in this remote place with no habitat around?

After moving for a while the train made another stop…I could see a water stream as if a big river is flowing and many animals like Cow, Deer, Elephant, Horse and Bull are all moving in a line pushing each other forward and heavily loaded with tons of material to pull across the river, they were all tied mercilessly through the nose to pull each other like the flowers are tied to the thread. The bull which was on front and pulling the chain was profusely bleeding through the nose, still it somehow managed to pull all others across but was unable to climb the shore, the Elephant pushed the bull from behind with great effort and force to help it climb, the Bull climbed up but the Elephant fell, unable to bear the burden of the heavy load and all the tons of loaded materials fell on the Elephant resulting in serious bleeding injuries to the Elephant. A person appeared and pulled a big drum filled with medicated liquid and started pouring it on the elephant and the bull to heal the wounds.

I am watching this from the train…suddenly the Train started moving.

The Dream ended...
