The mutability of Dreams


"The only constant thing is change". How often have we heard that?'Mutability' was what finally opened my eyes to looking at life in the form of change,no doubt, it being difficult.The poem by Shelley is no didactic poem but definitely leads us to a better understanding of ourselves.
The mutability of our lives is dynamically represented in the form of our dreams. Have we ever dreamt of any 'one' scene in a whole dream? Have we ever dreamt of one person or any one thing as a matter of fact??
That's a lot of philosophy there,but I would like to tell you about one of the wildest dreams I ever had.I would have been about 14 years old and this is when I was building hopes about my career and, guess what I wanted to be-MISS WORLD!!!!!Yes,that sounds rather funny now,but was a very serious issue then.One night I dreamt one of my favourite dreams.I was being crowned Miss World and my favourite band(at that time)-Westlife was playing my favourite song for me.Being on top of the world was an understatement(as I had mentioned to a reporter in my dreams).
Suddenly everything went dark and I see Agent Smith from The Matrix coming for me.Of course by that time I am no longer part of the computer world where the beauty pageant is happening,but a free human whom these agents need to destroy.Anyway,Agent Smith is coming at me(FAST!!!),but I battle him off,first,with a Trinity flying kick and then a Tanvee flying kiss.In the mean time,Neo(The One/the hero)comes to save me(the damsel in distress) and we escape and fly away towards the full moon.How romantic!!!!
But sadly that was just a dream.And that is just one of the many action packed dreams I have had.The mutability of my dreams is outrageous. I have fallen off a cliff,have got married, been a karate black belt, been a Charlie's Angel and the list just goes on.
Dreaming limits one to nothing and transforms(changes) you to everything.It does though,
with a disclaimer!!!
