Dreams and Existance

A short description of why we feel we have met that person or seen them somewhere

A sudden feeling of being lost. Why do feel it? Like if something is being snatched away from you, the feeling of taking away your soul. I felt the same way when one fine day I woke up and felt lost. Lost in something I couldn't trace. The dream that night was like every normal dream like seeing someone from your past, being happy with family, enjoying with friends. But then why suddenly do I felt lost. It's a saying that when we sleep we are half dead. That means our body is asleep and our soul is wandering somewhere. So where does exactly our soul go? Does it go to meet someone? or it enjoys being free of the routine body. Is that the reason we recognize faces around us but cannot remember their name or anything relating to them. Many times I recognizes faces and that person recognizes me too but there remains a question mark on both of our faces. Who are you? are they from our dreams? Have we met them in our dreams? spent some time with them and when you are awake, you just end up remembering their faces.

Sometimes we just feel like crying without any reasons. Why? is it because we are missing that person from our dream? If no, then why suddenly we get this feeling. A dream is a world made up by our subconscious mind. But dreams are something which humans cant control, maybe its something God wants us to see; whether it's good or bad. I get dreams in which the people I see are someone I have never met but they have helped me in my dreams whether it be helping me in my chores or in some dangerous situation. Who are these people? Do they make a difference in your life? just one or two days until you remember the dream. Right? they actually teach a lesson to us. Its upto to us to forget the dream or learn from it. Nothing in this life happens without any reason. Every tiny little thing in this world has its own reasons for its existence.

"Kimi no na wa" a Japanese anime movie was recently being watched by me and gave me this wonderful idea of writing about dreams, feelings, existence. The movie had wonderful graphics with each and every important character in it. The movie starts with switching places i.e. a girl who stays in a small town in Japan switches with a boy who stays in Tokyo because, a night before, the girl in frustration asks a wish to god to make her a handsome looking Tokyo boy and God the great granted her wish. Both struggles with their souls which is into some other body. But when they wake up the other day, they forget each other. To know the wonderful ending you have to watch the movie. Maybe this is what must be happening in our life too. We always feel like we are searching something, we don't the place and we don't know who. We are just searching.

People either in real or in the world of dreams live something behind which can be followed by others. The movie made me think deeply about the existence of things around us. The things which we never notice, the feelings which have got new names but never realized we had one. Life is all about these little things around us which we never notice. God's creation is something which is beyond words and which cannot be understood but is a mystery which no men can solve.

So keep dreaming, keep meeting new people in real life but especially in your dreams so that one day you'll actually meet them in real.
