I don't vividly remember who I was with or who brought me here with them. But I can make a vague guess that it was a young, heterosexual couple. In the dream I was a 12 year old boy with a body of me when I was 17. It was as old mystical place covered in a light pedestal mist which was not very translucent. There was an immense pond with grayish silver water but very pure and clear. A bunch of thin, plain coconut trees were at the one end of the pond with no coconuts on them. These trees were not growing on the shore but from the inside of the pond. I couldn’t able to see their foundation due to the mist and crystalline water. The ambiguous couple was my guardian and I was happy with them. They allow me to go to the partially immersed staircase which leads to the pond. I put my feet in the water on one of the stair. The water was pleasantly cold but not chilly.
I was very anxious to go into the water and I look at them with excitement in my eyes. She came to me with a toy in her hand. She gave it to me and gestured with a smile to me to go into the water. The toy was a little Gondola with a thick streamlined front and a long cylindrical shaft at its tail. The shaft end was spherical in shape. There was also an even bigger paddle to row the gondola (much bigger than gondola). Both of them were finely carved out of two different shiny willows. I placed them on the surface of the water and mount on the little gondola. It was merely one forth the size of my buttocks but surprisingly holding my whole body without turning inverted. Half immersed in the water, the thick pointy front was coming out of my crouch, separating my knees. I took the paddle and started rowing.
UNBELIEVELY the gondola started flowing on the water, moving smoothly carrying me without any difficulty. It was drifting fast like a motor boat but very suavely and slickly like a knife on butter. I felt like I was flying just over the surface of the water. At that point I knew that I was a dream but the beauty of it was that even though my conscious knew about the dream, my dream character was still unaware of this knowing. Hence it didn’t spoil the dream because the dream didn’t relinquish its to control to my consciousness. As a result I began to enjoy the dream even more.
So I was drifting in the pond with absolute excitement and joy. My feet were cutting the cold water which felt like somebody gently massaging your feet. Suddenly I realize the possibility of sharks and other flesh eating dreadful under water creatures and I pull my legs up quickly. I had almost reached the end of the pond and could saw the palm trees. I stopped paddling but the gondola won’t stop so I buried my feet in the water and then I pierce the surface of water with the paddle like a spear. The gondola stopped with a drag drifting sideways like a fast race car. The pond was going to end just a few yards ahead the coconut trees. I could not tell, if it was a waterfall or a reservoir but there was the huge dingy wall which was patronizing me. I took a turn after covering half of the pond because the other side was too fogy and I was too afraid to go there. I again start from the stairs at the shores and boy was I became master in paddling. This time I was enjoying it even more. I was the GondolaMan of the little gondolaand it was awesome as heaven.
Suddenly dawn arrived and it got a little dark. I was going very fast towards the tree and my judgment was hazy. Suddenly I realized that I was going to crash vigorously in to the trees. With all my might I throw my legs and jab the paddle in the water to stop myself from crashing (a sort of power brakes). Surprisingly it stopped just before the trees. I took a wheeze of relief; my MIGHTY little Gondola had saved me. I took a sharp turn in the other direction. I saw the lovely benevolent couple calling me with their hand to come back. It was also getting darker so I darted towards them. I left the gondola on the stairs and expecting to ride it again. The lady told me to get something by just pointing (nobody had said nothing yet, just gestures and pointing) to the far direction. I couldn’t see anything from there because it was misty so I started moving to place pointed by the lady.
When I entered the fog I saw a behemoth old and dingy Iron Gate covered with green lanky vines. The gate was half open. As I entered, I saw a surreal creature on the other side standing like a guard. It looked like a peacock but was twice the original size. I stopped walking because it opened its glittery blue-green eye like feathers. It looked very hypnotic but the same time I was very afraid by this gesture. The peacock started waving its feathers gently and I eventually assume that it was not a hostile stance but it had approved my existence there by approving me. It closed its greenish umbrella slowly and became relax. I started walking again. As I pass by the creature I had realized that it was quite different than the peacock apart from its size. The neck was very much shorter than a normal peacock and had four strong limbs instead of two thinner ones. I walked passed it completely, though the creature was relaxed it was still a dreadful bypass.
I could see a platform behind the opened part of the mammoth gate. A dog was resting on the lower level of the platform in a compact position probably sleeping. My next step made a faint sound which was loud enough to wake the dog. He rapidly stood up in a full upright position. It was a big Alsatian dog and had indeed deceived me about its actual physique. The clouds of dreadfulness were again covering my consciousness with fear. A sweet comforting sound ran through my ears which neutralized the conditional fear. “Don’t worry it will do nothing” said the little girl standing on the platform. It was the first vocal touch in the dream and it feels like obtaining an extra sense.
The dog stated whipping its tail while it’s dripping tongue got suspended out of his jaws. She was a very pretty, cute little girl wearing a pink sweater and a pink woolen cap with woolen stripes coming out covering her ears. She had a black thermal Pajami with warm and long boots. She spoke again “it’s getting darker. Can you take me to my mother?” but this time with a little concern. I noded in approval and She signaled me to put her up and carried her on my back and she fell asleep immediately. Her arms were tightly wrapped around my neck which was chocking it a little. I want to loosen them up a little but she was so cute and peaceful in her sleep that I decide not to disturb her. so I endured the discomfort.
The next thing i knew was that I was in the house of my village in UTTARAKHAND.
I was standing in front of a room with closed door with the little girl in my arms. His mother opened the door and took the girl in her custody and just walks away without saying a word. I was totally confused and amazed thinking about the present happening like ‘what’s this women doing in my village house? Is she the little girl’s mom? What the hell even I doing in my village?’ and I became more confuse.
I moved towards the ledge of the veranda wondering about the ineffable situation. At the edge I saw a beautiful site of the river ALAKNANDA flowing virtuously along the foot of the several HIMALAYAN Mountains covered with clouds. I noticed that the current is carrying something with it. I focused on that blurry ‘something’; It was the same little gondola flowing with the GANGA. Every turmoil and confusion in my head was gone and my heart became peaceful with the sound of the river. This beautiful scenery had relaxed me. I leant forward on the ledge to follow my gondola and then...
SNAP. I WAS AWAKE.
