Dreams - that eyes don't SEE


Meri aankhon mein khwaab bhar do . . .
You see dreams in her large, beautiful, blue eyes . . .
I saw you in my dreams . . .

He is a day-dreamer . . .
It's a dream-come-true . . .

What with dreams? And what with eyes? And, what's more - what with SEEING dreams, or seeing things IN dreams? Or is it just, plain DREAMING things?

Do we SEE dreams? Or, do we FEEL dreams? Or is it just DREAMING? Are dreams fantasies? Or is dreaming fantasising?

When a lot of research has gone into dissecting dreaming or dreams, no easily comprehensible understanding of them might have been presented to us. Why, even it might not be Googled much! Unless, one is interested in it, or one who is into research.


Forget love notes or Bollywood lyrics, it's that experience that all of us have, at some time or the other, or very often, found to be a part of our normal life, unless it turns out to be nightmare! But, have we all SEEN them? Why - do we at all SEE nightmares?

In fact, it's easy to define nightmares! They are just BAD dreams! And why bother to dissect dreams? You enjoy them. After all, they are not nightmares!

Are nightmares time-set? Do we experience nightmares only at night, and not in the day?

Dreams may be those experiences that involuntarily occur in our minds - that's why nightmares cannot be stopped from being experienced. While, day-dreaming is voluntary - one can stop it when one wants to. And why would anyone day-dream horrible events? That's why they're not called daymares! And, that's why day-dreaming is also fantasising. You fantasise only lovely events!

You DREAM. You don't SEE dreams!
