DREAMS AND BEYOND BY MADHU TANDAN
WHAT ABOUT EXPLORING MULTITUDE DIMENSIONS OF DREAMS AND GIVING MEANING TO IT.RECENTLY I READ A BOOK NAMED DREAMS AND BEYOND BY MADHU TANDAN.I HAD A CURIOSITY FROM BEGINNING ABOUT EXPLORING LIVES AND MAKING SENSE.AFTER GOING THROUGH THIS BOOK SO FAR COMPLETING ALMOST TWO CHAPTERS AT FIRST,IT GAVE ME A CLEAR IDEA ABOUT DREAMS ,VAST SUBJECT AND A MYSTERY THAT NEEDS TO BE SOLVED.SO , THIS BOOK PUBLISHED IN 2008 VERY LONG TIME AGO GAVE ME A PROPER UNDERSTANDING ABOUT OUR MIND WHO REACTS IN MOST SUBTLE WAYS IN OUR SLEEP.I WANT TO SHARE A PASSAGE OF BOOK "MY HUSBAND IS BRINGING MY FATHER OUT OF HOSPITAL.MY DAD HAS JUST BEEN DISCHARED AND THEY ARE BOTH STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL. AN OLD BLACK FIAT DRIVES UP AND MY FATHER'S DECEASED BROTHER EMERGES FROM IT.MY UNCLE IS LOOKING MUCH YOUNGER;IN FACT,HE IS LOOKING IN HIS PRIME.HE ASKS MY FATHER TO SIT IN FRONT SEAT AND THEY DRIVE OFF.I FIND MYSELF SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT AND I SOON REALISE THAT MY UNCLE HAS COME TO TAKE MY FATHER AWAY.I FEEL A SENSE OF FINALITY TO THIS ACT.IN DESPERATION I TRY TO PHONE MY HUSBAND TO TELL HIM THAT DAD WILL NOT BE COMING HOME.I WATCH THEM AS THEY DRIVE INTO AN UNDERPASS".SO BY THIS PASSAGE THE AUTHOR CONCLUDES THAT IT IS MERE ANXEITY OF THE WOMAN WHOSE FATHER HAS BEEN HOSPITALISED.WHEREAS THE DREAM REFLECTS NERVOUSNESS OF THE WOMAN AND SOMEHOW THE DREAM GAVE A MEANING TO WOMAN BY SENDING DECEASED UNCLE TO TAKE AWAY HER FATHER.AT LAST SHE FELT A SENSE OF CALM BEACAUSE SHE KNEW THAT HER FATHER HAS PASSED AWAY.JUST LIKE THIS SMALL PASSAGE OF DREAMS ,WE CAN CONCLUDE THAT THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF DREAMS.THERE ARE DREAMS OF POSITIVITY AND NEGATIVITY FOR EXAMPLE-HOPE CAN BE SEEN IN SOME FROM SOME POSITIVE STATE OF OUR MIND AND NIGHTMARES CAN BE SEEN FROM OUR NEGATIVE STATE OF MIND.SOMETIMES THERE ARE HOPE GIVEN MEANINGS AND CLOSENESS TO GOD OR THERE ARE RATHER FRUSTRATIONS ENDING IN NIGHTMARES.SO FAR THAT IS CLEARED THAT WHATEVER OUR MIND REACTS SO THE RESULT IS!
I WANT TO SHARE THE SECOND PARAGRAPH OF GREATER CHOICE"MY DEAD BODY IS LYING ON A CEMENT FLOORIN THE CREMATORIUM.ALL MY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS ARE STANDING AROUND IT IN A CIRCLE.I AM LOOKING DOWN ON MY BODY,WHICH IS COVERED WITH A WHITE SHEET WITH MARIGOLD FLOWERS STREWN OVER IT.THE PRIEST LIGHTS THE FUNERAL PYRE,STARTING AT MY FEET.I TENSE UP,ANTICIPATING THE PAIN I WILL FEEL.BUT NOTHING HAPPENS AS FIRST MY FEET CATCHED FIRE,THEN SLOWLY THE REST OF MY BODY IS IN FLAMES.THERE IS NO FEELING OF DISCOMFORT.I AM AMAZED AND RELIEVED,SUDDENLY REALIZING THAT THIS WHAT DEATH IS-THE PAINLESS BURNING OF A BODY FROM WHICH THE PERSON STANDING OUTSIDE IT CAN AS UNAFFECTED AS THE ONE LYING IN THE FUNERAL PYRE.AFTER THE CREAMATION,ALL MY RELATIVES LEAVE AND GO BACK TO MY AUNT'S HOUSE.I FOLLOW THEM,BUT THEY ARE TOTALLY UNAWARE OF MY PRESENCE.RAJEEV AND MY PARENTS ARE SITTING ON THE DINING TABLE.I CAN FEEL RAJIV'S GRIEF,AS I CAN SEE THE TEARS ARE STILL STREAMING DOWN MY MOTHER'S FACE.THE OTHERS HAVE RESUMED THE BUSINESS OF LIVING AS THE TELIVISION IS SWITCHED ON AND THE PREPARATION FOR THE EVENING MEAL BEGIN.I REALIZE AS I STAND THERE WHAT A ONE-WAY STREET DEATH IS.IT IS CURIOUS THAT I SEEM TO KNOW EACH PERSON'S STATE OF MIND,EVEN FEEL THEIR GRIEF OR LACK OF IT,BUT FOR THEM I NO LONGER EXIST.SOON THE CONVERSATION CASUALLY GRAVITATES TOWARDS HOW MY NEPHEW'S BIRTHDAY SHOULD BE CELEBRATED, AS THOUGH DEATH AND BIRTH ARE NATURAL CONTINUUM.I JUST STAND THEIR UNCERTAINLY,NOT KNOWING WHEATHER I BELONG TO THEM OR WHAT TO DO NEXT.THROUGH THIS CONFUSION I SUDDENLY HAVE A MOMENT OF GREAT CLARITY.I REALIZE SOMEONE HAS COME TO MEET ME.SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS MY PLIGHT. WHO?A ELAITVE ,A FRIEND OR A GUIDE ,I DONT KNOW."
BY THIS PARA IT IS CLEAR THAT WHAT DEATH IS TO BE LIKE.I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU SHORT VERSION OF THIS TO CLARIFY THE PASSAGE.IT IS MERELY A BELIEF THAT WHAT AFTER LIFE IS SOUGHT TO BE.WHEN THE BELIEF CHANGES SO THE DREAM.THE MAIN THEME OF THE DREAM IS COMFORT AND EXISTENSE.THIS IS WHAT AFTER LIFE IS TO BE.THIS CAN BE THE NDE(NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE)OR OBE(OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE).
