There was this time, when I could recollect very few dreams. Whatever little that I could recollect, was always below par and not worthy of mention. But lately, things have taken a turn for the good. Nowadays, my dreams are really intense. The other day I was in Afghanistan escaping from the Taliban and this was definitely one helluva dream. It was as good as any 'Tom Clancy story.
But, such things don't happen often and I kept wondering why I had this dream. And then I remembered, before sleeping I was listening to BBC documentary podcast on 'Afghanistan Opium Wars'. And since I had downloaded that particular episode and since my winamp always runs on 'repeat' mode and this particular episode kept playing again and again. And I guess, unlike other dreams which dissipate in just a few hours, this particular dream kept going on and on, more like a real-life story with a little bit of Kite Runner, Rambo, Saddam Hussein capture from a bunker, Hitchcock's North by Northwest fertilizer spraying glider scene etc.,
And as it always happens, the climax evaporated into thin air, when my mobile alarm rang. But, this time the difference is, I could recollect my dream, which I was never able to till then.
Listen to exciting radio programmes and allow it to keep playing, even if you are fast asleep. And you would know what will happen next !
Happy dreaming!
