I found myself sitting in a Train Compartment. To my right a plump short heighted man was sitting. He had an umbrella in his hand. Big eyes of his seem to be staring infront of him, where another man was sitting. He seemed restless. As if something was bothering him. He was of average height and body. Not really fat nor thin. Wearing a Half sleeve shirt, and yet he was prespiring a little. It seemed to me as if he was in sort of some kind of discomfort. Infront of me a Woman, middleaged carrying a small baby in her hands, was sitting. She was totally engrossed in cuddling the baby and seemed lost in her own world. Thin in her stature she didn’t take much space in the seat. The baby was unusually quiet. To my left a thin man was sitting very quietly. He looked very calm, lost in his own world. The happenings around him didn’t bother him. He looked saintly. The look in his eyes was absolute serenity. The train was travelling in quiet some speed. It had picked up in the last couple of minutes.

Suddenly, a tunnel came. And it was absolute darkness. A shuffling noise seemed to have come from my front where the lady with her child was sitting. And the compartment lights didn’t flicker on. The train came out of the tunnel shedding light in the compartment. The lady was now sitting to my right!!! But how???

The child was in the hand of the plump short man. And he was sitting infront of me now!!!!

What happened?? I didn’t understand anything. Was the Plump short man the husband of the woman, who now was sitting to the right of me?? And the umbrella…….where was it??

Before I could think anything else another tunnel passed. Again darkness!!! And again the shuffling noise. The tunnel cleared.

Now a dog was sitting to the left of me!!! Where did the dog come from????

The plump man was holding his umbrella open, as if it were raining!!!! Why???

What was happening??? And where did the lady go???

The child also had mysteriously dissappeared too!!!

The dog was licking my cheeks!!! It kind of felt nice….but irritating at the same time!!

What was happenning???

And now suddenly I woke up!!! I was on my bed in my house!! I was not travelling!!! And Bittu my pet dog was licking my face!!!!

I was dreaming!!!!
