A Strange Dream

 

I had a strange dream last month when I was in my grandparents' country home. The dream goes like this. I was lying on my back in a large stone while my friends were engaged in fishing. I loved watching the flowing river. Again and again I moved my head down to see the waters flowing so deep. The sun in the sky was turning hotter. Soon I began sweating. I jumped into the cool water. It was so pleasant to swim that I went further and further from the bank. Soon I found myself around the centre of the river. I wished I became a fish for a while so that I could travel below the water for a long time. Suddenly a fish as big as a cow appeared. He opened his wide mouth, and swallowed me in no time. I did not fear at all because I was not hurt in any way. Surprisingly I was feeling better in the stomach. It was so warm that I had never had such pleasant moment before. However, this ecstasy did not last long. The fish threw me out of his mouth into the cold water. To my great pleasure, I could swim and remain inside water as long as I liked. Maybe the giant fish had transferred some power of the water world. He asked me to follow him. Thinking that he was a good fish, I continued to swim with him in the wonderland of the water. As I was moving ahead enjoying the new sights and sounds, a group of armed fishes encircled me. They tied my hands and legs with a rope and took me to a large glass building. In a large round hall, I saw a crowned fish sitting at the center. I guessed he was the king of the water world. I was thrown at his feet. When I asked him to point out the crime I had done. He roared the word 'revenge'. I said I had not killed any fish in my life. But he gave a decision to give me death penalty for all the human activities against the water creatures. By killing me he wanted to teach a lesson to human world. I was very frightened then. I wanted to live. I cried and made a lot of pleas. But the king fish was not moved. I began to tremble. When a fish came towards me with a sword in his hand, I shouted 'Mommy' aloud. Then I found myself in my room. I became happy knowing that it was mere a dream. I became happy knowing that I was not going to die.
