Convicted of... what now?

As stated earlier, my sub- conscious mind seems to be pretty convinced of an alternate life in a parallel universe. In this dream, not only did the dual life exist, but everyone was aware of it.

It started the same way- me lying on the grass, staring at the sky. The stars aligned themselves to form a map of our world. Now, as people knew about their dual lives, they also knew that we traveled between the worlds via wormholes. The wormholes were like teleportation devices but worked between universes and fast.

So, today there were some technical glitches with wormholes (they were unstable for the science freak in you) and we had to travel the old way- you know in movies when the spaceship wants to pick someone up, they fire a light beam and the person/ thing floats upwards in the spaceship. Except here the destination was a place in the other universe and instead of a light beam, a translucent tunnel opened up. The difference in technology was equivalent to floppy disks and 4-G enabled smartphones.

Anyways, the place I reached was a modern- day Pakistan. The difference between the 2 universes was that- in this one India is the largest secular democracy and in the other universe it was Pakistan. I was part of a dance group (yay! I love dancing in both worlds). We were dancing with swords and each girl in the group had a 7-8 year old child for a dance partner (umm... wonder who the choreographer was).

It so happens that my dance partner was accidentally hurt by the sword (I guess, I didn't see that part) and I was blamed (bummer!) and put under arrest. The news and tabloids were scandalizing this and I was accused of SLOW DANCING. Yeah! Slow dancing. My argument was that a slow dancer is a safe dancer and that I cannot be answerable for the mishap.

When the court summoned me, I presented my case and the judge told me, "You astronauts need to be accountable." (because everyone travels between worlds, everyone is an astronaut). And then he told me something that was the highlight of the whole dream-

"Every astronaut is blessed by 3 Gods. He carries the legends of his father, the responsibilities of his son and the screenshot of his lover in his heart."

Here, the 3 Gods were supposed to signify 3 planets (I am not sure which).

I can't make head or tail of that statement but it is heavy-duty!

The Protest

Image
Our college was broke. The insofar strict professors and dean had to turn amiable for potential investors. They were trying to raise money by selling some of the artworks of famous ex-students and artists. The exhibition was going splendidly with some students giving a brief presentation before each artwork was brought out. Photo Credits: http://www.thepeakoftreschic.com/2012/03/artwork-to-adore.html The dean, satisfied at seeing the investors happy faces, wiped the sweat off his brow. He could use a break, he thought and retired to his office. His moments of peace were short lived. A frantic professor called the dean, "You better come down. The students are going berserk." "What on Earth!" he mumbled and walked as fast as his hefty legs could carry him. A group had taken the stage and completely derailed the presentation by steering it to graphic descriptions of what they thought the artwork meant. Investors were walking away and the dean fumbled and scrambled to g...

Old to Young!

We almost always see ourselves as we are in our dreams. Albeit donning different costumes, behaving strangely or seldom mimicking the likes of somebody else. I saw myself as an inanimate object (was it inanimate, I wonder!). Like most of my dreams, this also takes place in outer space. Maybe I am reading too many NASA articles. I was a part of larger nebula far far away in the vast infinites. Like me too, there were other parts of the nebula who could talk among ourselves. I was a part of the genesis of our universe!! Could you believe it? So the punchline being said, this is how it went about… The part of the nebula that was to be the ‘Sun’ gathered us around and said- “Look, we are going to form a galaxy. You guys are a part of it. This will form 700 light years away. First we need to break away from here and travel 670 light years, then I would break away and form the sun 30 more light years away. Let me go down and see how the surroundings are. I will signal if all is...

Apology for a past life

Image
Before I continue with my day, diving into the typical charts and graphs and dry meetings, I would like to get a nagging feeling off my chest. Reincarnation was an interesting concept at best for me. And I paid it the same amount of heed, I would to teleportation. While I would cautiously describe myself as a spiritual person, I am generally agnostic. I was a powerful lord. One that was sadistic and ruthless. I had a list of sins that the devil would envy and God would be horrified at. Maybe I was Atilla the Hun or Genghis Khan. Although, neither of those explain my other traumas. I know now that this life is the one where I am forced to repent and serve my sentence. What may have warranted this cycle of misery? I often asked myself this question. It felt a tad overdone for petty crimes. A very graphic answer awaited in my dream, nay nightmare. Most times, the general populace wouldn't feel or understand the true purity of love. We all like the abstract notions in art and poetry bu...
