Dreams Explained

-



     Dreams: Some horribly twisted short stories which at times tend to become nightmares as the story progresses.

     My dreams are simply stupid. The other day, I dreamt that I was eating a cheeseburger which for some unfathomable reason turns into my arch rival and I quite happily eat her up practicing cannibalism. (Wow. This must be the first time in human history that cheeseburger, unfathomable and cannibalism is used in a sentence!)
   
     So, as I was saying, my dreams are moderately stupid. Some person who has a degree in dreams (ignore the sarcasm) has said that we tend to dream about the things we thought about while we were going to sleep. I beg to differ milord. I went to sleep thinking about my mobile's ever extincting storage and woke up sweating from head to toe as I dreamt about the Nun standing in my balcony and I swear to god I didn't even open the door of balcony for an entire goddamned week.

     The other day, I watched Stephen King's 'IT' and dreamt about meeting Tyrion who was serving wine to Tony Stark which I am sure never happened in Game of Thrones nor in Avengers or any Iron Man movie. (Hey Iron man is a Stark!?!? Coincidence? I think not.) 

     To finally understand what causes our brain to think in such a different manner, I asked my psychology professor who explained it in simple english with non scientific terms which my brain was able to process without going haywire. So, I assure you wonderful readers that this would be a cakewalk for you! 

     So, This is what I have concluded from my study about Sigmund Freud's theory. Although it only explains dreams from the point of view of only 1 psychologist.   

      Sigmund Freud a renowned psychologist believed that dreams are a window into our subconscious. He believed they reveal a person's:
  • Unconscious desires
  • Thoughts
  • Motivations
      Which means if you dream about winning a medal, someone must have won a medal and that has influenced you or you are appearing for an exam or a competition. Sometimes we also dream about things which might not be socially desirable the way I dreamt about cannibalism. It indicates strong aggressive feelings and also hatred. 


      The bizzare dream about Nun says that I may fear it and have often thought about the subject. Dreaming about Tyrion and Tony Stark suggests that I tend to imagine about different series and could also be thinking about trying to somehow involve the two of them. 

  
     It must be understood that the functioning of brain on thoughts and dreams is not clearly understood yet. It is a theory which proved true for some. However, many have argued or agreed on this theory.

      The movies we watch, the articles we read and the songs we listen too sometimes get stored and our subconscious is working on them. As rightly said, we only use 10% of our brain's true potential. Perhaps, dreaming is only a fraction of what we are yet to learn. 

     So, keep on dreaming and try to learn more about yourself, maybe you would understand your inner emotions and channelise your potentials in a better manner.

Bright Morning - William Wordsworth

-
Image
 'Bright Morning' is a comparatively  less known poem but, is the most charming and eye-catching for me. I had it as a part of my english curriculum in school, when asked to paraphrase it as a homework by the teacher, I felt that it was the best paraphrase I had ever written. So, let's talk about what exactly is a paraphrase. Paraphrasing  involves taking a set of facts or opinions and rewording them. While  paraphrasing , it is important to keep the original  meaning  and to present it in a new form. Basically, you are simply writing something in your own words that expresses the original idea. William Wordsworth is one of the most iconic poet known to mankind. His poems are beyond comparison and he never ceased to grab the reader's attention with the beauty and depth of his poems. One after the other, he wrote poems with each being better than the rest. Bright Morning There was a roaring in the wind all night; The rain came heavily a...

Why I don't go to supermarkets....

'You are late again! Why can't you come little earlier?", I said for the hundredth time. This was a typical Friday and Saturday senario. As usual my mom was late to pick me from my Kathak class. "Why can't you come on cycle if you have so much problem?", she said not willing to admit that she had overslept. Again. "Fine. I'll take the cycle from next class." I say raising my hands surrendering. I sit on the scooty as we zig zag our way through the Saturday traffic. We missed the lane leading to our apartment. "Our building was behind." I say. "I know you got an A in Geography but we are going to the supermarket."  "Woah! How come I am being dragged in this?" I question. My parents are coming to stay with us for a fortnight the last thing I want them to say is we live in a cave." she answered. I am about to point out that all our cabinets are overflowing with stuff and they flood our house when we open...

The Spectacular Quarantine Tales

-
   Not all of us are accustomed to living indoors throughout the day, especially avec our family. Gazing at the scenic beauty of the blank walls and holding the window railings as if I were in a jail and long to be free have occupied a huge part of my day.   My day typically begins with my father yelling at us and trying to wake us at dawn. Catching the first rays of sun is an activity in which he aims to engage me in. Unfortunately, waking up at the ungodly hour of 6 in the morning, a time reserved for bats and vampires does not fall in my to-do list for vacations (read: quarantine).   I beg for 2 more hours of decent sleep and Dad storms off towards his mobile and plays his favorite old songs which by a massive coincidence sound like opera shows. This awakens my sister, who is as cheery is as a peacock in rains.   She runs to get ready for the day while singing K-pop songs. She claims to be able to speak Korean quite fluently, but since I am unable t...
