Sweet Dream

Had a sweet dream for real after a long time...
Reason - I think am stressed so it came to make me smile in sleep and after sleep too :) the feeling of the dream is making me smile even now :)

Pre-dream situation: Woke up at 830am, came to school at 10 and started working...could not locate my passport yesterday so after 2 hrs of work went home to look for it again... FOUND it :) relaxed.... came to school ...figured out that I would need instate tuition waiver for the spring semester..!! kinda worried what to after funding ends in dec !!

Worked till 5 from 130, was feeling very sleepy..had tea twice... still sleepy.. so went home.. and slept from 5 to 6pm, that's when came the sweet dream :)

Summary of the dream

"some guy was talking to me or may be visiting me whom I don't really know. He was talking to me with lot of conviction, confidence and right..as if he knows me or I am supposed to know him..I was continuously asking him if he is X, Y, Z or J...It was funny as I was remembering all my friends and asking him, oh are you this, he would just nod his head and keep talking and smiling ... we were just talking about random stuff, and I was only focused on asking why is he here, how did he know me or what does he want from me, and who gave him the address of my place..many such stupid questions followed with me or us having tea too :) ..

offcourse he was none of the friends or people I knew or have known till now..he did not resemble anybody I have known till now not even Shekhar Ravijani :) and I do not remember the face either. Interestingly after every suggestion I would myself rule out the possibility as they did not resemble the person I was talking to..after lot of persistence and patience all this dream guy tells, you remember you emailed a person two weeks back who was asking about your field work in Assam I am the far fetched cousin..friend..some faar faar related person to that....person who emailed you !!!!

I started laughing in the dream and told, come on that's the stupidest connection I have heard or farthest cursh or fan following till date.. but it feels great :) In the dream he tells am not just a fan, am more than a fan... :) at this point I burst out into laughter and asked 'kyon ceiling fan ho kya, jisko pakaad ke lataak jaun ya galee mein phanda dallooon"

At this comment we both burst out into laughter and I could not believe that I was bakwaasing in my dream too!!! I woke up laughing :), staring at the ceiling and hearing the tick-tock of the watch ....with the arms vertical on the dial :) ....looking at my big smile, my mom asked what happened :) .....I was like....I want to fall asleep agaon :) no wonder it was a dream !!

Moral of the dream - the dream was sweet because in the dream I saw the passion and persistence in the person in trying and wanting to find me and reach me :) During the last days' of PhD people get nightmares and am getting sweet dreams!!

Is something terribly wrong with me or Am I not doing a Phd ?
Kuch to hai :) Either of these has to be true !! And I hope its not the last option !!
