Missed By An Alarm

 

Have you missed a golden opportunity just because of an obstacle? Well I missed two or three of them this morning, all because of an alarm. Yes, I am talking about the dream I saw today morning. Like last time, this time also it was in parts and I missed the opportunity in every parts because of the alarm. So here goes:

PART 1:

This was like a big festival on the outdoors organised by the church I think. There was a stage set and lot of programmes happening. I couldn’t find any place to sit and I was standing next to a buffet stall trying to get a glimpse of the event happening. The buffet was ready and haven’t opened to enjoy till the end of the programme so I waited for the programme to end, also keeping an eye on the buffet stall to open. 

 

The programme was over and people started lining up towards the buffet stall and I was ready with my plate, spoon and fork to attack as I have been standing near the stall. The lids were open and the smell did tempt me that I couldn’t wait. As I was about to step in, my family beckoned me from the gate telling it is getting late and we have to go. I didn’t want to miss the opportunity and I signaled them that I was getting it parceled. At least that would do. But then, the alarm was ringing; the dream was slowly fading and I was back to reality; as I got up to turn off the alarm.

PART 2:

This part of the dream was set in some hall in Dubai that was rented for a whole day to celebrate the birthday of my cousin and myself as it was just days apart and in real, our birthdays were a month ago. So most of our relatives have come and that is why the hall with two rooms and even a kitchen was booked for the whole day. Two cakes were ready and the birthday people (i.e. me and my cousin) were all dressed but the relatives and cousins were all gathered in one room stating that they wanted to get ready and thereby kept us away. 

 

We waited for a while inside the kitchen with the cakes and they were still in the room. We couldn’t wait any further and my cousin went to check while I kept guard on the cakes. My cousin came back annoyed and threw the cakes into the bin. I asked what had happened and didn’t get a response. But I picked the cakes from the bin and luckily it wasn’t messed up.

I could hear the door and the footsteps nearing towards the kitchen. And at the same time, I could hear the alarm ringing and my head said, ‘Please don’t’. But the alarm continued ringing; the dream was slowly fading and I was back to reality; as I got up to turn off the alarm. In fact, I snoozed it earlier and that is why it rung again and didn’t have to turn it off the second part because the alarms after snoozing will ring only for a minute.

PART 3:

A family get-together in a friend’s house where the children section are together in the living room and that includes us as well, while the adults section i.e. our parents are at another room having food. We all looked younger but still mature. There were only few people in the living room and I don’t remember who all were there. But we were playing and having fun and was going to eat but then the same thing happened. I could hear the alarm ringing; the dream was slowly fading and I was back to reality; and the alarm has stopped.
