Dreams of An Amatuer

Today,I started a ‘5-Day Monochrome Photo series‘ in Color Palette,my photo blog. Lately,I have being kinda obsessed with monochrome images,so this post is a result of that obsession.

Dreams of an Amatueur

Let me begin my 5 day monochrome with a dream. Few days back,at midnight I found myself in grandpa’s village and I saw a shopping mall in the heart of village! That area still requires a decent grocery shop ! Since last few weeks Ann,my cousin abroad has been pestering me for some ethnic clothes,so I entered and shopped. As I came out ,I started walking and suddenly I found myself infront of a mysterious building.

Someone said,it was a shortcut to my house vicinity.So,I entered and next moment all I saw was big hallways,round stair cases,sunlight seeping sporadically and the entire building was in monochrome of grey scale. I begin to lament on why did I leave my camera with Dad(I had flashbacks of handing it over ! ) I was in a trance and went on seeing one amazing architecture after other. Suddenly,I came to senses,I still hadn’t found a way out. I started searching for exit and after few minutes I knew I was lost. I searched for someone to guide me towards a way out but then I begin to notice,there was almost no one,so far I had seen only 2-3 people !

After walking for sometime,I found a man sitting on a staircase,eyes half opened as if he was subconscious. With fear in heart I asked him if he knows how to go out . He said,”Wait for them,they will come and will show you” “Who ? Who will come ?” I shrieked. And I got no more answer as he had disappeared. I frantically tapped every wall and bit of ground. The monochrome of the walls and things were making it an infinite puzzle and the charisma had turned into dread. After what seemed to be a long time,I finally heard footsteps and saw two old men approaching. I tried to talk to them but they took no notice of me as if I was non-existent. Somehow I knew I had to follow them. After walking behind them for sometime,suddenly they stopped and one of them pushed a point in the wall.The wall opened and light flooded in and they went in. I too pushed the same area and it opened ! I stepped out and at first all I saw was white and suddenly I found myself in a crowded place flooded with colors and also found some friends ! While they chatted with me,I kept thinking of how nice it was to be back in the world full of loved ones,full of colors. 🙂

I have never written a story when I am awake, but who knew I write in my sleep. I know this is a bizarre story with loop holes all over but I had fun remembering it which seldom is the case.
