‘Good night, No dreams’

We have seen different types of coiled springs in our daily life. Some of them are very strong, some are flexible so that we can squeeze it in our palm without much effort..

Consider the mechanism of an old gun. When the trigger is pulled, the coiled spring inside the gun gets squeezed up and stores energy and this energy is used for pushing the bullet when the trigger is released. This is the science behind it.

Now take out a coiled spring in relaxed posture and squeeze it in your palm. How long can you hold it like that? It depends on the strength of the spring(say spring constant) and the strength of your hand. Even if the spring is very light to squeeze, you can not hold it all the time in squeezed state.

If you are awake and have enough strength, you can press it for long time. However what happens when you start sleeping, your fist slowly opens up, the grip gets loosened and the spring regains it original size. I would like to name this spring-regaining-original-size process as a Dream.

Heard that the tribal people, say the aboriginals in Australia do not know what a dream is.. They do not control anything. They are like rivers.. They keep flowing.. And I do not think an infact is able to dream like we do.. It does not have any experience/ego. The infact does not control anything. The child pisses when needed without waiting or thinking. It does not matter whether she is sitting on the lap of Obama, or Katrina Kaif or whoever it does not matter. She simply pisses.

The child gives her 100% in everything she does. When she smiles, it is difficult for us to keep our eyes engaged in something else. At the same time, it is tough for our ears when she cries. She gives her 100% in crying too. She does not know how to fake a cry. However she will be learned those tricks from us gradually J

We can control, suppress/repress our feelings when we are awake if wanted. But we can not do the same when we are asleep. While we are asleep, the feelings which were suppressed pop up in dreams just like the spring coils regain its original size. A sound sleep is infact a sleep without dreams..

Let us now onwards wish ‘Good night, No dreams’ instead of ‘Good Night, Sweet dreams’! Let all the sweetness come to us when we are awake J
