The Sleep Talk

How often do you think that you are normal and you sleep peacefully? Have you ever wondered what you might be doing during the sleep? Is it only the dream or is it the dramatic you in the dream?

It was yesterday when I was chewing a sweet gum the whole evening. I was busy grinding and rounding my mouth and playing with computer as if the computer is going to disappear any time.

My eyes were so droopy that nothing in the world could stop me from sleeping. Howsoever, Facebook kept me awake for few minutes. After checking my updates and liking few pictures of my friend, I quickly turned off my computer and went to sleep.

Sigh! I was dreaming. Bur hell, someone was shouting at me. Confused and annoyed, I opened my eyes to check if anyone was calling for me. But who could be at this time? It is 4am approximately. I went back to sleep just to be woken up by my room mate and she was telling me to take out the gum. I did. She took it instantly. She looked concerned and at the same time, worried. My dreamy eyes were taking over the scene and I thought of asking about it in the morning and went back to sleep peacefully without further complaints from my roomie.



Sadly, it was in the afternoon, my friend smilingly said, “Yeshi! Yesterday, you were chewing gum in the sleep” I didn’t know what to answer and the only thing it popped out was, “I KNOW” with a more genuine voice. I denied saying I might have been awake. She assured me again, “No, you were chewing gum and later on, you were shouting, CHENCHO LHAM.” The first one, it was fine but the latter had me surprised and felt like laughing out loud. I was scared later.

She was smiling again and I knew, she felt it funny too(That’s what I thought). I suggested, “Oh really?! It must be because I last met with her and even liked few of her pictures in the facebook and directly went to sleep.” I felt foolish for overstating the reason why I must have shouted her name. But this is all I could answer back to my friend because sleep talking is happens to everyone once in a blue moon unless there is a usual sleep talker. It is a big problem then.

Have you guys ever had such unknown and mysterious sleep talk drama and made excuses and felt funny and even scared of/by sleep talk when acknowledged about it by your friends?

P,S, I feel like going back to my high school days, when my roommate use to talk about my sleep talk and I tell about theirs. It was fun teasing about it in the group. Don’t go away from me. It is normal. It happens!

The Dream

There is a time where you feel completely helpless and worthless living in this world. Frustration crosses your mind and you urge yourself to some entertainments so that you can forget and ease the unhappy moments in your life. You go out with friends, you try talking to friends nearby and you even join the crowd. You are physically interacting with the surrounding but the mentality remains the same. The noise and the crowds leave you behind and you are in your exhausted and idle world again.

As the evening approaches, your mind become too dull to think about yesterday because you don’t want to think of it. You exactly know what tomorrow is going to be - yet another disaster day with all those random feeling of being valueless running back to you. There is no one you can shoulder your emotions and feelings no matter how hard you try to balance by being ok when are not.

Here comes the night, a night to yourself and you can lay your body and rest your brains, mind and heart to peace. Then as a willingly submit myself to sleep, I dreamed a dream where I was the hero (as expected) with too many a follower behind me. With the arm shields and iron clothes and the fierce look on our face, I knew we were going to fight a battle. As their commander, as loud as I could, told them to come with a victory to which they did. But me, in a different world as it is a dream, I was somewhere sucked in the mud with a group of tourist and I am deadened to the situation and woke up with a frowning face and laughed at myself. Being the hero first and getting laid on a marshland later had me smiled for a while.It was a funny experience.

That little laugh, a matter of seconds’ moment, brought me back to live a happy life. It was all of a sudden I cared to think about my life. My feelings were active. My eyes blinking to see the beautiful world in front of me. My joy knew no bound here and I know, only I can really feel the freedom after breaking out from a laced chain.

Even though I am not a hero in this real world,I know I can be the hero of my own and then prove to be one. Just like the followers and tourist in the dream, I know there are people in this real world where I can seek help from and renew my life all over again. At this point I know a little effort will perhaps make my present life a beautiful one to live in.

It may be a dream but dream can change your life and heighten the way you view your world positively and encouragingly. So friends, Stay strong and be confident about yourself. Thing changes and if it doesn't then patience is all it takes to overcome the disasters.
