The Story Behind

|



The first memory is my sister having a nightmare


Sleeping next to me, in the room we shared


Then she cried, eyes puffy and red


Clutching her pillow tight, eyes barely open


I looked...confused..i never had a fight..why is shedding this tear?!


Later she told mom and dad


Hugging mom, in her lap visibly scared


" I dont want to lose you" was all she said


Everybody understood, she dreamt of the family dead.


After that, almost everynigt the dream hovered


My parents tried evreything, all doctor


Dad told her that he loved, mom couldnt figure out any fight any scolding in school


Nomore, my favourite horror movies


After all we all did our bit of duties


Years passed and we seperated our rooms


Her sleeps were better, till mine in those monsoons


It had been a terrible year, losing my friends of bomb blastings, accidents and cancer


I had changed my school, giving boards is never cool


The first was scary, I dreamt of losing my best of friends


(deleted) fell from a building


Oh God! A moment ago, he was right here,playing with me!


When he missed noticing the missing reiling


(deleted) under a car on the street


when she was running she had forgotten the keys


and now (deleted) is nowhereto be found


How is it possible I just saw her


I still remember the sound


I woke up crying , knowing it was a nightmare


But I wanted to cry more, the feeling was still there




And then years passed and Im here


Writing to zahira of how my plane crashed

you know there r things dat happen in early life dat v hav no cntrol over.there r millions in d world with problems of depression,anxiety,fear,anger,phobias, caused by early life experiences..these experiences are neither in ur control nor of the person who apparently is the cause of these..bcoz their ways are a result of their early childhood experiences...if v understnd tht it ws beyond that person's cntrol jus like its beyond ur control, v can get over the sense of blame and ACCEPT any problem as a part of our lives and try to understand what it is trying to tell us for ur present and the future..its a very long journey & the process of catharsis not the simplest one in the world..life does not move according to our wishes much as v would want it to.
Spiritual insight, meditation and psycho analytic processes can b helpful

Fear of bad dreams would lead to Bad dreams. Our internal thoughts translate to dreams. I remember getting dreams about going to exam hall late and getting arrears in exams, particularly during the days before exams..

Think about things that you live to do or achieve... Can be flying a flight.. ;)
