The story ends here.

I discovered something extraordinary that day. For some neurological disorder, I couldn’t dream, I found out. They told me that I was gifted, that anything I would dream would come true. That’s why I would dream only once in my entire lifetime, and I could have everything I wanted.

As I child, I figured, they were just trying to make me feel better. But this idea stuck with me. What haunted me was this uncertainty - what if that night came, and I didn’t know what I wanted. My mind was restless. It wanted to get there fast. But it did not know where.

I discovered the science of dream control. But I wasn’t sure if it would work when the time came. I never dreamt, I could never practice it. But that was the least of my worries. I had to figure out what I wanted.

Once you have to ability to have anything in your life, it’s your ability to decide on what you want that matters most. And that was exactly what I didn’t have.

I was obsessed until they came again, and said that it was impossible. “You should stop wasting your time, and make something of your life.”

I understood that they were either lying, or they lied 20 years ago. I couldn’t accept either. 

The day was approaching, I could feel. I needed help. I needed someone to tell me what I wanted. And I knew this was impossible. 

 The day came. I dreamt. And I dreamt of you. You came and you knew, without me telling, what I wanted. There’s a strange sense of calm now that I’ve woken up again. I’ve never known this feeling before.

It’s not about having it all. It’s not about living a dream. It’s about dreaming a life. Perhaps, have someone to share that dream with. And you can live by this dream – by this dream of whatever life may come.
