I am to tell you a story of how my dream changed my life forever. I am from a tribe along the mountains of Himalayas. We believe that every time a person dreams of something that is unusual the dream is meaningful. We need to crack the mystery behind the dream because a part of our selves are carried by this dream. If we fail to unravel it that part of us will be lost forever.
It was twelve o’ clock mid-night. I woke up from my bed catching my breath. Sweat was covering my whole body. My heart beat so fast. I had a dream. I dreamt of a beautiful girl. On a gloomy and shallow place, a girl as white as the snow appeared. The moonlight caressed her long and shiny hair. She approached and stared at me and I saw her eyes tantalizing. I felt amazed yet scared as this words came out from her red and thin lips,
“Come to me
For you shall see
What love can do
For me and you”
I felt something - something unexplainable. I didn’t know if it’s a good dream. All I knew was it was something which was carrying a secret that I needed to decipher.
I walked outside our house to find Old Rousse. He was the oldest person living in our tribe. He could figure out what a person was thinking. He was a small man with a face covered with wrinkles. He had along and ash gray whiskers. His eyes were barely open. It seemed like his mind was fully occupied that couldn’t stop him from thinking. As I walked towards him, he mumbled “When did it start?”
How can it be? How did he know about it? I asked myself with shock on my face. And again he spoke with a higher tone, “You have already forgotten. I can read minds.”
I forgot that he could read minds. I told him everything that I know.
“This is what happened Old Rousse.” I started. “I was hunting in the forest and I saw something – a wall covered with Cadena de Amor. When I tried to reach for it, it shined. It nearly blinded me. The next thing I remember is I woke up feeling so fantasized by the mysterious dream I had.”
“Could you take me to that place?” Old Rousse asked.
“It will take us a day to reach that place from here. It is from here to there.” I pointed behind the second mountain from where we were and I continued, “But we can use Serius, my horse.”
“We need to go there right now.”
I untied Serius. He ran as I my commanded him. It was as if he could understand me. It is already dusk and the sun was preparing to rise. We moved as fast as we could. We passed through the rivers and forest. It was very difficult to get there. It required us patience and endurance.
It was already three o’clock in the afternoon. We were at present near at the mysterious place.
“Are you sure we’re following the right path?” Old Rousse asked.
“Here we are”. I shrieked. I forgot the question asked by Old Rousse a while back.
Old Rousse’s face was filled with amazement. “Sir?” I was packed with uncertainties. I knew he wanted to tell me something. I felt I needed to know it. But before I threw him questions, he commanded “Go forward and try to reach the wall.”
I moved towards the wall. I was quite nervous but my heart pushed me to do it. With all my courage, I was trying to get there for the sake of finding myself. As I slowly got near the wall, I felt the need of this endeavor. It seemed like someone was pushing me towards it that I should not move back. Finally, my hand was touching the wall. I looked at my hands and suddenly bits of sparkling light slowly came out from my palm. It spread fast until it was already covering my whole body. It caused pain but I tried to stand it. It was getting hotter and hotter from where I stood. After the enormous glow of the wall a piercing sound started. My eyebrows met showing my eagerness to bear the sound. A minute later, the sound faded and a clear voice rose. I could remember those words. Those are from my dreams. I could hear them clearly.
“Come to me
For you shall see
What love can do
For me and you”
I was hearing the line continuously. I didn’t know what to do but still I was hopeful. “What shall I do?!” shouted I. But still the line continuously bothered my ear. Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind. I thought of following the line. I started to follow the line, “Come to me… For me and you.” I recited the line unceasingly. For just a moment, the wall together with the light and voice slowly disappeared.
On a cavernous place, girl’s corpse was lying. I approached it and stare at her face. She was the girl from my dreams. As I looked at her face, my heart felt so bad. It appeared like I was connected to the girl. Unconsciously, rolling drops of tears came out from my weary eyes. The tears gently flowed in my face and reached the body of the girl. It stroked her chest. I closed my eyes and I felt something from within my heart. I opened my eyes and recited unintentionally “Come to me…For me and you.” Swiftly, hues and shades of green sparkle appeared from her body. The pale color of the body regained its vibrancy. Her eyes were opening slowly. She was really lovely. She sprung from where she lay and grabbed my body with her arms. While she’s embracing me, I felt the tightness of her hold. I could feel her happiness as she talked, “I knew you’re coming.”
That moment was something unexplainable. I know it’s frivolous, but on that second of my life I felt complete. The girl from my dreams made me feel something that everyone needs – love. As they say love conquers all. No matter how many obstacles and struggles may come along my journey, as long as I have the passion and courage, I will stand tall. For a loving heart will never be crushed by anything.
