MAKING SENSE OF MY DREAMS

A few days back i had this weird dream (ofcourse every dream is weird). Since, it is said that there's some definite relation between dreams and reality, i thought let me see if i could do a little sigmund freud myself..

The dream goes something like this..
Me and my brother are on a train to Lucknow..We reach there and buy some meat(uncooked) for 120 bucks..But, then we decide that we dont wanna have it. So, we are roaming around the markets trying to sell it. We finally sell d meat for 80 bucks( i am pretty upset about it coz i wanted atleast a 100 bucks). The next thing i know i am on a bus to Awadh which is a half an hour drive from Lucknow.. I am going there to meet a friend of mine( that friend actully studies at NIT allahabad, this i realised after waking up).. And i have no idea wen n where does my brother disappear from the dream... So, that's my dream..Perfectly illogical, discontinuous,weird and nonsensical...

Now, this is how i tried to relate the dream with my rael life..

Some days back, one of my classmates was telling me how he lied to his parents just to go to lucknow to meet his girlfriend. And, i really love romantic stuff like this.. so, dat's how i get lucknow in my dreams..

i had gone with my youngest bro to the movie salaam-e-ishq recently..so,now he goes to lucknow with me..

Rest all events of my dream seem pretty vague to me..Since, you never remember the whole of the dream plus the fact that i hardly remember anything, i would try justifying the story cooking up some fictitious situations of my own..

So, why would i buy meat?? i hardly eat meat outside home..May be, i didn't have had meat for a long time, and i was so desparate to have meat that i decided i will buy some and then cook it myself..( which i haven't done before)..

Then, why do i decide to resell it?? dat's simple..the lazy guy dat i am, i wont take so much troubles for anything..

the bargain part seems ok...meat worth 120 for 80( atleast 80 is better dan havn to throw 120 bucks down the drain)..and i think i got my dream rates pretty close to the real ones..

how come lucknow and Awadh be only half an hour apart?? Well, i am so lazy dat i wont have bothered to travel to Awadh if it was even an hour away( not even in my dreams)..
by the way, i got it on the wikipedia that lucknow was actually the capital of awadh before independence.. my knowledge of history is so better in the dreams..

Den, how is it that i made such a long journey to lucknow in the first place?? Dat would be coz, i really love travelling in trains and the hustle bustle at the stations.plus,i did plenty of travelling in my winter vacations..

And, how does dat friend come in the picture??? i am addicted to the internet real bad..so, i am online all the time...and so is dis friend of mine..but, i never chat with him..this winters when i went to allahabad, i could have met him there, but i didn't try...i do feel some guilt for being so indiffernt to him..so, i was trying to do something in the dream which i should be doing in reality...

But, why do i go to Awadh to meet him, when the only time i would have heard about Awadh would have been in my history books( would have read bout the Nawab of awadh, i guess) and that too would have been a passing reference...That's the part i couldn't figure out..

As for when and where does my brother disappear??
that i am hoping to find out in the sequel dream :)

About dreams being related to reality.. I dont know how true it is ... However this insane explanation occured to me some day.. Let me know in case it makes sense to anyone of you..

In C/C++, we often use these jargon of "garbage value". We talk about "dangling" pointers (pointers which do not point to anywhere)

So what happens when you directly dereference the pointer without assigning it some address . It shall print some garbage... But who assigned this garbage value to the loacation where our pointer is pointing. Probably some previous program data which occupied that memoery location before was left uncleared...

Dreams can be something like this... Objects that you may encounter in daily lives (for example meat in your case), people and other things can be assumed to represent data at some memory location.

Your brain can be considered a processor, which while fetching some data while executing some program(the dream program) fetched some "garbage" value and hence u saw all that in ur dreams....

Did that sound sensible ??? ;-)
