What Dreams May Come

I love to sleep a lot and usually I don't dream, or rather I don't remember what I dream.
However there are these two dreams that keep repeating so many times in my life till now that i remember even the minute details about those dreams.

1. There is this train and i keep missing it every single time, although i never missed a bus or a train or a flight.

Every time the situation is different, a different station, a different location, at times i am alone and at times i am accompanied by friends or family members. There were times when the stations and locations were not imaginary. With all these differences the dream was always the same, missing the train.

At times i am late , at times i am in the train but got down for something or someone and at times i jump off the train as someone with me could not get into the train, there was this time when we i was on one platform but the train arrived on a different platform. The final result is the same every time, i miss the train. There were times when i even chased the train

I still remember the one time that i caught the train, I climbed the engine. I dreamt that i missed my flight couple of times. Train or flight the outcome is the same, i miss my transportation. It has been a long time since that dream repeated, I miss my Dream Train.

2. Exams, i was never afraid of exams, being more or less in the top five of the class and with the sincerity and dedication that i used to attend all the classes, i was always prepared for exams.

There is this exam, i have not prepared and it is already the day of the exam. This dream repeated itself with such intensity and reality quotient that once i woke up startled all covered in sweat, i switched on the light and checked the date only to realize that i finished my exams couple of days back.

It was a different exam every time, i still remember some English, Hindi, Statistics. At times i was prepared for a different exam and it used be a different one, at times it was already the time for exam, my mom was waking me up, i wake up and realize i didn't prepare for it. This dream repeated even a couple of months back.

When it comes to nightmares i seldom have nightmares, there are these two nightmares that i remember. Both the times it was as if somebody was holding me down although i could not see anyone, i was unable to move and i couldn't even shout. Both the times i got up and realized that i was still unable to move and when i tried to shout all that came out was air. Next moment everything was back to normal. Weird I know.
