Sachin Tendulkar, Salman khan, Steve Jobs, A R
Rahman, Roger Federer, Barack Obama. I have met and personally spent time with
all of them in the last couple of years. Yes in my Dreams. I have dreamt myself as these personalities
many times. Through dreams I have lived the life of all my fantasy characters.
My fantasy had become a reality in my dreams and so I enjoy sleeping and
dreaming
I dream during the day and I dream during the night.
I am a dreamer.I believe in
dreams and dreams are Mystical. Dreams are magical.
Contest Chair and
fellow toastmasters…Good Evening
When I was young I used to have scary dreams and I
used to wake up in middle of the night and my mom used to console me saying “Its ok my dear... Everyone
dreams and no one is an exception. Try and understand what dreams are telling you”
At that age I was not very clear what those words
meant. Recently I had a dream which made mem realize what it meant
I was driving my car to an unknown destination as
usual in my dreams, and my wife was sitting beside and my children were sitting
behind
Both my kids were fighting among themselves, teasing
among themselves and enjoying among themselves
My wife was saying, “My
Friend Priya had bought a Diamond Ring and it’s beautiful and awsome, can you
purchase a similar one for me”
I looked at
her…“Honey you don’t have to wear that Diamond
Ring to look beautiful, u r already looking like an angel” she blushed and I
escaped buying a diamond ring
“Is it wow that’s great,
can we then plan our next vacation?”
I looked at
her...“We just went to our last vacation
three months ago…why do we have to plan a vacation again?
“I am not saying a
long vacation…may be a short one. Our marriage anniversary is anyways coming
this month”
I thought to myself “Even
in the dreams why is she is chasing me….”
I looked at
her…
I could hear a sudden
breaking sound and turned to see a huge truck coming towards me and the driver
literally standing on the break trying to stop that huge vehicle hitting my car
and I slammed on the brakes, skidded, and missed the truck
by just millimetres!
I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the
second before you die. When it comes down to that second, life is not the years
or the days that ultimately matter. It is the moments
·
Moments of Laughter,
·
Moments of tears,
·
Moments of courage,
·
Moments of Fear,
·
Moments of success
·
Moments of Failure
·
Moments of Love,
·
Moments of pain,
·
Moments of Happiness,
·
Moments of sorrow
All those moments flashed in front of my eyes during that second. First
of all, that one second isn't a second at all. It stretched forever, like an
ocean of time.
I woke up immediately
and looked for my children and wife. They were happily sleeping.
My heart was racing…I
was sweating all over the body and I thought to myself “Oh man what a horrific
dream is this”
I could hear my mom’s words… “It’s ok my
dear... Everyone dreams and no one is an exception.
Try and understand what
dreams are telling you”
This
time I thought I have understood what it meant…
·
This dream made me realise that
o
time is all I have in this world
and so Forget and forgive quickly, Laugh Uncontrollably, Love unconditionally,
Believe in yourself truly,
·
This dream made me realise that
o
life is too short to wake up
in the morning with any regrets
·
This dream made me realise
that
o
Every human being has to face
death and no one is an exception
o
Life is all about being
healthy, strong relationship, lots of love and smile in the face
·
This dream made me realise that
o
Life is not having a lot of
money, or great career, or a newest car.
o
Life is all about those moments
in life to cherish before we die
·
This dream made me realise
Purpose and meaning of my life
With all these positive thoughts I was lying in the
bed drowsy and feeling asleep. Suddenly my son woke up screaming and I exactly
knew what he was going through and I consoled him saying “It’s
ok my dear... Everyone dreams and no one is an exception.
Try and understand what
dreams are telling you”
