I'm standing on a very tall tower. This tower was a simple, a very tall concrete column with a flat disc-like platform on the top. And I'm standing on it.
The tower was in the middle of a sea. The waves were thrashing around incessantly at the foot of the tower. The water was icy blue. It seemed to be seething in anger; there were waves everywhere around, frothing. When I looked down, I could see my feet on the edge of the floor, toes peeking out, and the water below me. My heart beat a little faster. I was feeling safe and protected because I'm a hundred feet above the water, on a safe ground. At the same time, I so badly wanted to dive into the refreshing, cool, sparkling water. And I'm only a step away from it!
I'm standing facing the sun. It was a gorgeous sunset. The sun was a beautiful, orange ball of fire. There were wisps of clouds in the distant sky and they were all strands of gold! This combination was casting a magnificent yellow hue on the world.
As if to complete the picture, there were huge hillocks on either side of the sun. It looked like an open gateway. If not for brilliant yellow glow of the setting sun, these hillocks would have been mossy green. But now they looked a dull ochre.
And I'm standing there, savouring every little bit of it - the soft breeze on my face and hair, the gentle sound of the roaring waves, the sharp and yet somehow earthy smell of the sea and the feeling of absolute sense of gratification for just being there! I felt powerful; I felt strong. I was so happy, there was a lump in my throat! Complete bliss! I cannot possibly explain why. Hell, I didn't know myself exactly why. I did not want to close my eyes. Not even for a second. My face felt warm, but my fingers were cold. And the air was getting steadily warmer. I tried so hard not to but it was a reflex, and I blinked.....
And I opened my eyes! This morning sun was a bit sunny and someone had opened the curtains near my bed and that woke me up. Urrrgh! I never felt more disappointed to have woken up from a dream! I don't like the idea of me narrating something like this and sound like a soppy romantic, but right now I'm feeling so strongly about this thing so I had to tell!
By far, this is the strangest and the most beautiful dream I ever had. I was lying on my bed for like ten minutes just thinking about this. I don't know what this dream means, and I sure cannot figure out what brought this on. I had a pretty normal day yesterday. I had spent most of the morning trying to sketch that scene. (Maybe I'll post that sketch sometime soon).
Maybe I'll read that Sigmund Freud once again t interpret this one.
I'm feeling sleepy already but I sincerely,honestly, earnestly hope that I get the same dream today too!!
Later!
