Dreaming, Reminiscing And Thinking...

This post contains 3 tags that were long overdue. My apologies Cuckoo that it took this long for me to get around doing that Something-About-Your-Dreams tag. But I knew you would patiently wait :), thanks hun! And the 2nd one is My-Oldest-Memory tag intro'd to me by Altering_Abhishek. Aaaand the last one is a tag by DJ, and is called the Thinking-Blogger-Awards tag. So here I go folks:

A Dream To Remember...

(Cuckoo's tag)

I dream alot of weird things - some bad and some good, and some truly spine-chilling! And most of my dreams come true in some odd way...freaky, yes! There is this very special dream that I don't ever wanna forget. Remember I posted about my uncle (my mum's youngest brother) in NZ who was in trouble a couple of months ago. Well at the beginning we were not even aware that he was in trouble - so I was fast asleep one night...and guess who came in my dreams? My granma...my mum's mum. She died in 2001 in NZ and that's where my uncle lives too. So she came in my dreams, said absolutely nothing to me, but a lonely tear was running down her right cheek...she was gazing at me with a very sad look on her face while the tear was rolling down. The next morning, I told my mum about the dream. She then told me that that must mean something bad was gonna happen to someone in our family and she was worried (she's somewhat superstitious). On that day we didn't know my uncle was already in need of major help in NZ, and he is my granma's favorite son too. Late that afternoon we received a call from my aunt in NZ and we heard the terrible news! After that, with alot of effort from us, my uncle miraculously got out of the mess he was in. So I reckon my granma came to me that night in my dreams, to indicate that her son was in trouble, to ask me to help him, and so it happened just like that. It still gives me goosebumps! Cos that somehow tells me that the 'departed' don't really leave and will be watching over their loved-ones for a very long time. What do you think of this dream?

A Golden Memory...

(Abhishek's tag)

I was probably 3yrs old. I can remember my dad and one of his close friends were chatting in the veranda, and I was standing and watching them. Suddenly their voices were raising (actually they were just talking). But I was under the impression that it was some sort of fight. My little heart panicked and didn't know what to do. So I suddenly said the following, like an Army captain trying to discipline 2 crazy cadets: "Shutup you two or I'll shoot both of you right now!". (My dad btw was a tough Police officer...and he was a big fan of 007, war and action movies...so when he used to watch these movies, I used to sit and watch them with him. Maybe that's where I picked up these harsh commanding words from). Later on my dad used to tell me this story all the time and laugh with me :). I guess it was one of his fondest memories too. And now I want to say this to my dad: "How I wish you were here still, talking and laughing with all of us...I'm forever looking for you now...I MISS YOU!".

The Five Sigmund Freuds...

(DJ's tag)

I really can't choose just 5 cos there are so many bloggers who really make me think. I mean it when I say that every blogger makes me think in a different angle and each of you own a quailty that cannot be filled by another. However cos this tag forces me to list only 5 of you, I decided to randomly pick them from a large pool of distinguished names hehe :). These are the great philosophers that were chosen and therefore who gets a Thinking Blogger Award from me:

1. Steph (Girl you're a hoot! Brains , beauty, sense of humor, honesty, sweetness etc etc all in one, and it's hard to ignore this girl's daring attitude!)

2. Amy (Need I say anything about this lady - she describes emotions in enchanting and in unique ways that only she can...Amy you rock!)

3. Homo_Escapeons (Mate you are one of the MOST intelligent men that ever walked this Earth - you're a walking Knowledge Repository!)

4. Aidan (You realise that simple things in life are the most precious, and that's rare and precious by itself, so you're a very special soul Aidan!)

5. Vishesh (For a 15yr old boy, you are a certified Freud in the making, and you've got a great future ahead of you Vish!)

Now that doesn't mean the rest of you are not award-worthy. We are all here for pouring our hearts out, to be there for each other and to teach/learn from one another. You are all a great source of inspiration and knowledge to me. So THANKS for being in my life, each and everyone of you in Blogville!

I'm not tagging anyone in particular...but you may take up these tags if you want to. It was great doing these 3 wonderful and thought-provoking tags, so special THANKS to Cuckoo, Abhishek and DJ! Today's music is one of my old favs (from the movie THE BEACH)....it's got this touch of long lost memories, a search for a loved-one, a moment in paradise, a silent calling...a magical kiss with nature. Mostly cos it's got the beach in it :). Enjoy!
