You are walking towards the front door of your apartment; you open the door and enter your college auditorium. It is dark and spooky and you can feel someone following you. It is your landlady… she looks like a witch! You want to flee, but your feet are too heavy to lift. With a great effort you manage to run. You are running further and further, but you can still feel the witch chasing you… and suddenly it is daylight and the witch is gone! But as soon as you stop running you realize that you were running on thin air and now that you have stopped you are falling and falling… but where? Is it a bed of roses? And now why is the lawnmower shaking the entire garden?

Oh! It is not the lawnmower, it’s your cell that is vibrating! Time to get ready for the office!

This, then, is the essence of dreaming—reality and unreality in a nonsensical, often mundane but most of the times bizarre! Dreaming is our own storytelling time—to help us know who we are, what we are scared of, what we want, where we're going and how we're going to get there. Dreams weave for us a mysterious story with incidents from our own lives, which are many times more interesting that any ‘Sydney Sheldon’ or ‘Sherlock Holms’! Only, we never come to the climax of the story!

Dreams have captivated thinkers since ancient times, but their mystery is now closer than ever to resolution, thanks to new technology that allows scientists to watch the sleeping brain at work! Although there are still many more questions than answers, researchers are now able to see how different parts of the brain work at night, and they're figuring out how that division of labour influences our dreams. In one sense, it's the closest we've come to recording the soul! This can really prove beneficial for those suffering from psychological diseases… But are we prepared for this? Are we ready to share our dreams, our innermost desires with the rest of the world?
