Memories of Chennai – 01.04.2024

Dream #1 : Memories of Chennai

Dream:

I see a cupboard which is shared by me and my brother. The cupboard is divided into two equal portions. My side of the cupboard is very well made, has lights inside and my brother’s side is in poor condition, looks like old furniture. I am laughing and teasing my brother that his cupboard is not as good as mine.

I see I am going with one young man who was part of some spiritual organization and he is showing me Chennai (linked to power, abuse of power, domination (colonialism), intense activity and social standing) a city in southern India.

He is no more with that organization, now but does not say anything negative either. He has learned a lot, feels grateful and has moved on now.

He is sitting on the bus, next to my friend. He is not feeling well. I hug him, go close to him and he likes that warmth. He kisses me and then he becomes some different person. He keeps my luggage in his suitcase for better space on the bus, so that we can sit comfortably on the bus.

Some people get into the bus and tell this person to take another bus which is more comfortable and will reach him directly to his destination. So he decides to leave.

I ask him to give me my luggage so he says he will courier it to me. In my mind I am wondering how he will reach my luggage, he does not even know my address. He leaves the bus.

I am walking on the road alone, and I miss the bus. I decided to take another bus which will follow my earlier bus. The conductor tells me to check my luggage and surprisingly I find my luggage.

I am on a two wheeler, my handkerchief keeps falling down and I keep requesting people to pick up my handkerchief, else I have to park my scooty and then pick it up.

Finally, I reached the boundary of Chennai. I see clear boundaries are drawn, it’s barricaded. An auto guy offers to drop me when I show him the address. He puts my scooty on the top of an auto and charges only 10 Rs to reach my destination.

Dream #2 : Inside the furnace

Dream:

I saw I was inside a furnace that my father had made, it was the size of a house, like a room inside a room. And the inner room was where it was burning hot and high temperatures. I saw my father where this furnace needed some repair.

*My father had a factory where he made furnaces, he was a workaholic, but was very committed to his work and his workplace was like his refuge.

I saw I was in the outer room of the furnace and there was a mechanic (in the dream I knew he worked in my father’s factory) who was going inside the high temperature room to repair, he was wearing a fire safety suit.
