Whether these nightmares make you stay up late or wake
you up with a jolt in the middle of the night – they are one of the few things
we really talk about. So today, I want to know it all.
Let me go first, and then I would definitely want to hear yours in the comments section. Just FYI – I am starting with the lighter ones and then moving to slightly more personal nightmares. I have not written a few which I feel might just gross a LOT of people out. So skipping them for our sanity :) LET’s GO:
1.
Getting
into KBC and not being able to answer the very 1st question
(And
then my parents telling me, “Ghar me toh bade fast fast jawaab deti ho, wahan
kya hua?”)
2.
Getting
into KBC and having to use a lifeline in the very 1st question and
still leaving without having won a penny
(WHATTTTTTAAAASHAMMMEEE)
3.
Being
an eye witness to a crime, but not being able to guide the sketch artist in
making the criminal’s face
(Blame
this on the show CID, which I spent watching for a major part of my childhood)
4.
Looking
under my bed post-midnight, in the dark and finding a pair of eyes looking back
at me
(Trust
me, I am going to be dead THAT VERY SECOND. The ghost will not even have to
work any harder. #IAmPhattu&IknowIt )
5.
Trying
to get out of a maze, but coming back to the same junction and not finding a
way out endlessly
(Back
when I was kid, this was a dream I had more often than I wished for. I reached
a point when I would procrastinate going to sleep – because I knew I would end
up dreaming this and it was tiring to freaking find my way out every night, knowing
fully well that wouldn’t get my way out. I am just happy I haven’t had this
dream for a few years now…)
6.
Waking
up and finding myself in a box.
(Due
to claustrophobia, even compact elevators/ by-lanes make me highly
uncomfortable. Being in a box – is like the epitome of shitty for me.)
7.
Finding
Blood on my hands and stomach and chest and everywhere – but not being able to
locate the source of it and my heart going all BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM.
(I
think we can blame Hollywood and Bollywood movies for this J)
8.
Wanting
to scream, but unable to find my voice. And just a tiny squeak coming out irrespective
of how much efforts I put in.
9.
Having
this urgent need to pee, but not finding a toilet. Even if I find one, its
clogged and unusable… and my lower abdomen starting to pain.
(I
have no shame in accepting that as a kid, I have wet my bed because of this
fucking dream! #BackthennotNow )
Did you relate with any?
Tell me :)
Ok Bye.
