Wickedly long one this time around. I haven’t had a dream this vivid or long in ages!

It started out, predictably, in a situation I’d rather not mention. Eventually it wound its way over to a Cinema (at around 4 in the morning, inside the dream) where I, unfortunately, lost the person I’d been with, and therefore, had to go about searching the whole place. I met all sorts of people in there including my dad, who wanted to explain something related to foundry by drawing on the theater’s screen, an uncle who lives near my house who just wanted to enquire how I was and I even managed to accidentally call up Ashwin on my dream mobile phone at after 5 (I specifically remember checking the time on my dream watch, which looked hazily like my adidas which, I suppose, to be expected).

Of course, as all of my dreams do, they took a crazy turn soon enough. After leaving the cinema, I was plunged into a mythical world of beasts and demons which just wanted to kill people. The city was a mess, and the roads were destroyed, and I specifically mention the roads because I remember a dream mini-battle with some of these demons and a group of us (don’t know where they came from) where we defeat the baddies by blowing up something like a busted petrol tanker near them. Of course, this resulted in all of us having to climb up a near vertical section of road trying to escape a burning death.

The place I climbed up to appeared to be a village of sorts. The people there were very suspicious of us (I’m one of a group, remember) at first but I suppose they eventually accepted that we weren’t dangerous because I remember seeing a bunch of kids (some of them from my group) literally plucking a little tree out of the ground, together, and dragging it away (presumably to be burned) because it was infested with little beasties.

And somewhere around that point, I woke up, and there were a bunch of guys sitting around my bed chatting. So I sat up saying: “Good lord, you’ll never  believe the dream I just had!”.

And then, again, I woke up. Only this time, for real.
