Episode 118 : When dreams become real

It was the year 2002.

I was going through that phase of life where anyone in the family dismissed me as "one who doesn't know what is good for him". I wanted to borrow a data CD from one my friends from school. He suggested I drop by his office and pick it up.

I reached his office in the evening and registered my name at the reception. While waiting for him, I spent my time looking around.

And wished I worked in a place like that. It doesn't have to be the same company, but some place nice, I wistfully thought to myself.

I resumed working in the beginning of the following year, but it took another one and half years before that wistfully made wish came true.

Hickle Tech it was. But I was only too glad to leave it almost two years later.

For as long as I can recall, I rarely recall my dreams. And they are usually nightmares.

Three weeks ago, I dreamt I was reading an e-mail from a person who wanted to make things clear to me. That I was needlessly holding on to something that I should let go. I woke up and wondered if I was only recalling something that happened earlier.

I recalled mails that I received long before. But not the one in the dream. I dismissed as yet another bad dream. A week later, I received a similarly worded e-mail from the person in question.

Last week I dreamt I was telling Mama Hyde to find a girl for me, that I was tired of taking care of myself. I was shocked when she laughed as if I said something outrageously funny.

I don't mind the odd self-deprecating joke; I shudder to think of this one coming true.

Dreams come true sometimes. Any way to stop nightmares from coming true?
