IT DINT MAKE SENSE ...DID IT?

Today mornin saw me wake up in cold sweat!!!
It was around 3.30 am in the mornin (as per by my bedside watch) and i was surprised cos after a long long time i actually could remember wht i'd dreamt about and worse still! it dint make any sense...
Id read somewhere tht a person tends to remember only those dreams wch actually hav some sense associated wth thm...medical jargon speaks bout "REM" n "NON REM" sleep...but i always found the former theory more interesting ..and the philosophical dreamer tht i am crave to find a philosophical aspect to everythin ...i'd like to believe tht even the most bizarre dreams or nighmares ive woken up rememberin make sense...and if they dont , thn i simply dispose thm off sayin tht it was my subconciousmind tht was thinkin bout it sumwhr...:)
But yesterday proved me wrong...
I saw ppl i'd never seen in my life, names i'd never heard...
situations wch were very strange n uncanny...weird things happenin...no sequence at all...
It was funny...i havent seen such chaos in my dreams since a long long time...most of my dreams are very well organised and in sync (lol) unlike real life...
but this was strange, weird, totally ridiculously chaotic...
thr was confusion all around...it was soo bizarre...so messed up...kinda like er uh ..kinda like reality :(
And thn there were some instances i could relate to...but most of thm were irrelevant...more like those "ekta kapoor" soaps...lol!!
But hadent even watched much of tv yest...so thought i could rule out tht possibility...
I dont even know whethr i should call it a "dream" or a "nightmare" cos i cant really say it was good or bad...
it was juss weird...like some confused director directin a movie ...or shud i say "anu malik" tryin to compose a song wth a number of ideas frm various movies n finally comin up wth some disastrous crap like "dekho baarish ho rahi hain...its rainin , its rainin, its raiiinnniiing"...*rolls her eyes*
ok sorry sorry...tht was me digressin again...:p
but whtever, this really set me thinkin whethr wht we see in our dreams reflect the state of mind we are in...hmm thn i can imagine the mess goin about in my head rite now...god!!ive heard such things in movies...something bout ur past life tryin to send u a msg through ur dream...whoaa...im too freaked out rite now to even think bout reincarnation...:P so am juss pushin tht thought away...
Wht do u guys think?...any such experiences?
any such atrocious dreams/nightmares?
anysuch time whn ull woke up in cold sweat juss cos it was farr too confusin n mind bogglin to understand ur mind while asleep??

tell me about it...
want to know im not alone...
want to know im not goin crazy yet...*winks*

first of all welcome back n all that!! :)

No no, u're not crazy at all!! Dreams are like that...I have seen some pretty weird stuff myself..

and as u said...ur dreams r pretty organised as opposed to real life...may be its a sign that real life is gonna get super straigt!!

Dont worry n keep dreamin ;)

aha!
Well few days back..The wife had a wierd dream...something that there were "real animals" all around the city but they looked like stuffed animals..all cute and cuddly and then when people went near them they ate them up...and that we all were running for our lives saving ourelves from it...etc etc...

I was quite intrigued by the dream and even blogged about it trying to find the answers but couldn't get much...guess somewhere dreams do reflect our state of mind!

They say that if you get dreams where ur running from something or somewhere then u have some anxiety...

Keshi said...

Pri chill...it happens to me too but then again Im totally weird..lol!

anyways...:)

**I saw ppl i'd never seen in my life, names i'd never heard...

hmmm...the subconscious is a very strange area and one that man has not studied much...Freudian theories say that we dream what's in our sunconscious but then how do we explain unknown ppl n places? I also read somewhere that ur subconscious can have repositories of pas lives...but thats it u believe in re-incarnation.

Like I said b4, I constantly see visions of a car accident in which I die...it has been coming to me since I was abt 7yrs old..and I still do get it every now n then..and when it happens I feel so much fear...for few seconds only. It's almost like Im really in an accident. It's so strange...and few ppl have told me it could be related to my last birth or this or even a future birth..only God knows what it is :)

Just dun think too much..listen to some sweet soft music when u go to sleep...tc.

Hey pri,
Yes yes..I did have the dream anand talked about and was so wierd and queasy!
But I guess dreams are a manifestation of your mind and your sub-conscious!
But you know what's the worse part..is that most of the times when I get up I cant even remember what my dream was...just that I know there was one!

Yoho,

Yesterday I dreamt I had died and gone to heaven or hell... or wherever devils go...

I think you are thinking too much of the Devil these days...

chal, write something more funny...

This was mildly amusing...

Devil with sharpened horns..

Just 2 days back I had a dream early in the morning abuot some missile passing right across our window and when me and few friends of mine check out the other side...we were just watching LIVE battle going on b/w terrorists (dressed in black clothes) and Indian soldiers (dressed in soldier clothes)

We guys then come outta our apartments to have a good look and see that terrorists are somehow beating up Indian a** nicely and afta sometime one baddie enters our building with a machine gun...Can you imagine what I went afta next?

Thank god I didnt jumped outta the window, coz of this nightmare...else I wud not have been in a position to make this comment as well...hehehe

I believe dreams are just bits and pieces of pictures your brain stores for sometime and when u r sleeping...it tries to push it off...its like the defragmentation process that you usually do on ur system..

Reshma Bachwani said...

hi pri, there is a school of thought to dreams where they believe that dreams are subconscious material and therefore cannot be fully comprehended by the conscious mind. if you want to really understand what your dreams mean - it should be done in a subconscious framework. also contrary to what we understand that dreams - disturb sleep - dreams are generated by our mind to actually allow us to continue sleeping - for instance if someone is thirsty - you could have a dream that you are near water or drinking water so that in your sleep your thirst is quenched in someway without you having to wake up. this is a very simplistic example. but chaotic dreams are a manifestion of anxiety at some level and since we absorb everything that we see / hear and it all sits somewhere in our subconscious, its quite possible for these images / sounds to appear at random in your dreams even though you may not have seen / heard these things in the recent past or perhaps not remember seing or hearing it ever - since there is so much in our subconscious that we are not even aware of.

Keshi said...

I believe in re-incarnation...not just cost I have a Buddhist/Hindu background but also cos it makes sense...o.w. d u honestly think this life is just this time ard...if so what for is all this drama?

Keshi.

First Rain said...

Ah dreams! Perhaps the only things (`things' for want of a better word) which have any inkling about the mess inside our heads. Hi.

Pri said...

@ reshma
wonderful explanation cited there :)
guess u r rite...thrs soo much in the subconcious we r not even aware of...n guess it all seeks a outlet through our dreams/nightmares.:(
wish i could master the art of comprehendin thm while at sleep itself..atleast they wudent haunt me while awake...

@ anirudh
heyy nice to hav u drop by at "nostalgic moments"
ek hi khwab???.kuch gadbad lagti hain bhai...reincarnation ka mamla hain kya...
well if its a pleasant one wch keeps recurring, thn hope it becomes reality someday...
cheers buddy :)

@ neha
heehee...welcome to the club!! *winks*
ekta,keshi, arz000n and me being the othr members soo far *grin*

Pri said...

@ vicky
tht sure did make me feel a lil less guilty...heehee...but u hav absolutely no idea how much time ive been wastin on the net these days...but thn again wudent call it a waste cos whn pri does sumthin , it becomes a "trend"...lol!! juss kiddin...i loveee my blog n all u guys ive met thru it...:D
Hope u get ur pg seat in "surgery"...will be a ray of hope to ppl like me...heehee...n will definitely inspire more medical students into bloggin n spendin time online...*winks*
Best of luck pal!:)

@ keshi
huh?? drama??...tht reminds me of a fav dialogue "life is a stage n all men, and women merely players...they hav their entrances and exits and one man in his time plays many parts"
*smiles* shakespeare rocks :)
and yep "reincarnation" does exist or mebe so i wud like to believe...makes life more interestin...sorta gives u a feelin of havin gone thru this mess called "life" successfully once before :D...n gives u hope tht ull make it this time too!


@ firstrain
yup...well said...tht explains the chaos in my dream :)
welcome to my humble abode *grin*

Suji said...

I have dreams like that sometimes. Most of the times though i just don't remember what i dreamt abt. But sometimes its very vivid and then for a long time u keep wondering and angonising what it was all about.

Pri said...

@ suji
yeah!! i know tht feelin...:(
i would love to wake up not rememberin my nightmares though :)


@ coldcoffee

heyyy, nice display pic u put up there...:)
btw, interestin way of lookin at it...dreams being an inspiration to the writers mind...Imagine,if all writers did tht, it really
makes me wonder wht stuff do these "M&B" writers dream on...??lol!! ;p
Ayways...
cheers to interestin dreams :)

Keshi said...

I know that quote Pri...a very true and beautiful comparison!


**sorta gives u a feelin of havin gone thru this mess called "life" successfully once before

true...it's like returning from a journey and starting another new one in another place...but I really dun want to be born again...

Hi nice blog.I see such dreams all d time. where im not myself,see my soul in some other body,see people whom i havnt met or thought abt for ages. D dreams dont have any logical sequenc. The other day i dreamt that im playing d computer game matrix then i get inside d matrix myself there are agents behind me im Keanu Reeves then i turn into John Abraham, being followed by agents, enter into d UN headquarters which turns into my girlfriends college after a few minutes,meet her there, then we are both trying to escape........Also saw aamir n shahrukh in tat dream,some of my schoolmates too whom i've never met since i left school. So chill it happens to everyone.Dreams r not suppossed to make sense.Also used to have a recurring dream that i've an exam n i get late n im trying to finish it as fast as possible.That dream did come true,i did get late for exam not once but thrice in d past two years
