Everything is heightened now
It’s looking so much brighter now
I was lost and now I’m found
Fell off the merry-go-round
Ellie Goulding (Song: Brightest blue)
Last time when I wrote about my dream it seemed like a real life experience but yo! this time it doesn’t even make sense to me, let alone how weird it is going to be for you. But thinking about it for the past 50 minutes has surely got me close to the teaching behind it.
So it started with me coming across a couple from my college (mind you, the most famous and the fabulous couple #goals) who ask me to join them for a night out. It is around 7 p.m. and without even slight hesitation I agree to it. I sit in the back of the guy’s car and girlfriend sits next to him (next to the driver’s seat, the guy’s driving). After chit chatting for a while the car goes silent and the guy looks at me from the rear view mirror. Our eyes meet and I look away consciously (Wow, I was loyal even in my dreams).
Also note that we don’t know what I am wearing right now. We reach a place which I have no idea about. As soon as we step out of the car his girlfriend, I don’t know disappears or maybe went inside. No one knows (laughing emojis). I stop the guy and ask if he would surely drop me home whenever I want to go back (from the previous blogs you already know about my strict parents). After he assured me that he would save me from the wrath of my parents (laughing emojis) we went inside. He introduced me to his friend group and coincidently I found another senior whom I recognised from college.
The next thing you know, I am out there making new friends, having the time of my life, not worrying about a single thing. This is the beauty of Dreams no fear can hold us back. We just let it flow unlike our regular life. In the middle of having fun I paused for a moment as if I couldn’t believe what was happening. I was hanging out with a group of strangers, no anxiety, no fear of “if people will like me or not” and hella confident. I wish I was this social in reality.
Wow mam, you got the words out of my mouth.
Time passed. The next time I looked at the watch it was 11:15 p.m. I started to panic. I asked the guy who brought me here to drop me back. He too realised it’s late and asked his friends to leave for their homes too. We all left the place and were saying our final goodbyes. But they just couldn’t stop talking. I literally had to drag him to his car. Even then that guy didn’t move an inch. Also strangely his girlfriend wasn’t insight anywhere. I got frustrated and started walking on my own. Apparently my house was somewhere nearby.
I was walking on the sidewalk and I turned my head towards my right and found that an old friend from my school was walking beside me. We were together in the 6th grade. And if that wasn’t weird enough, out of nowhere the daylight appeared. I was shocked cause bro I literally saw the time minutes ago it was 11:15 p.m.. but now it was all sunny and cheerful. I wasn’t surprised, rather I felt peaceful and happy.
As I was walking I saved a kid from almost tripping down the road. That brought a smile on my face. I remember in front of certain strangers I started cat-walking for no reason to exude the confidence of a model (now you can definitely believe it’s a dream (laughing emojis)).
After a while I entered a gate and bumped into The Malaika Arora Khan (she is a Bollywood actress in case you don’t know). I was awestruck for a moment and just kept staring at her. You won’t believe what happened next. She proceeded to shake hands with me. Yes a famous actress made the first move. I asked “Mam.. Hi! (stutter), wow you held your hand out for a handshake”. She said “yep why not, you too are a person right!” How humble was that. I shake hands with her and moved on.
Now it was that time when I was close to my home. The “typical ladies” of my society were standing there to judge me. Then I realized all of a sudden I was wearing a kurta (Indian wear). I told them that I just grew to dress like this. Then I heard a door knock and a donkey appeared out of nowhere. I felt like it signified the end of the dream and finally I woke up.
The next 45 minutes that I spent in the loo all I thought about was, what this dream meant. As soon as the imaginary bulb above my head turned on and was shining bright I got it. Confidence. We always have this fear of fitting in into new places but we forget that we are born to stand out. Our energy will attract the people who will love us just the way we are.
Overthinking gang, what’s good!
The fear embedded in me about the fact that I won’t be able to make new friends in my Masters had succumbed me. But as in the dream I succeeded in enjoying with strangers I might (praying to God BRB) excel in real life too. My future (private) college will demand me to show confidence. I trust myself and I trust you too. If I can fake confidence till I make it, you can too. Walk along with me, let’s conquer the world. Put your crown back my kings and queens, coz we can be confident and think positive and achieve what we deserve. We can’t let these stupid fears hold us back. (Also do me a favour, please ignore all the other irrelevant stuff, it’s just a dream go with it. (Shameless laughter))
Until next time Adios Amigos.
