DAYDREAMS

It was night. All which was in sight of Ankur was a vast expense of sand. He wasn't having a good time in the middle of nowhere. "Look", I said to him "Come on, explain!" He replied, "I don't know." "As expected." I thought. He brought me to a building and inside a big chamber. After that all I see is sand. Suddenly he called out, "Land!land!", "What the hell!", I exclaimed. "We are on sand!", I said "What do you mean by land?" I looked and was surprised to find us in a boat. "But.......but." I stammered. My watch showed `9 AM`. But it was night. I knew it. Forget it, I said to myself. I looked in the direction Ankur was showing. Really a mainland was out there with thick vegetation. It was a forest. "How did you do this?" I asked him. "Do what?" he asked. "I mean how you changed sand into water." "What are you speaking about? We had been in a lifeboat after our ship drowned." Whatever, we landed on the shore. Now, it was all coming back to me. I must have slept, I thought. "Now" shot a voice which brought me back from my dreams. "Now" said Ankur "we need food to survive." We decided to stay together. "It is a dense forest." After moving for about half an hour, after a continuous hissing sound I turned back and saw a gigantic snake attacked us. SWALLOWED ME AND ANKUR ALIVE! "Hello Dad!" I heard a familiar voice. I opened my eyes. I was standing in front of Ankur's father's restaurant. THE ANKUR CRUNCHY CENTRE. I was startled. However, I entered the hotel. We ate our fill.

We were going to wash hands. Ankur went first. "Help me!", he screamed. The scenario began to change. The walls drifted away, water began to rise. I understood it was not a daydream. We were soon standing in neck-high water. I first thought we were in a quicksand, then it hits me "we are in the OCEAN!!!!!!!" Ankur was pleading for help a few feet away. I went down in water. Then it hits me again, I CANNOT SWIM TOO! I and Ankur were drowning deep down in the sea.

Suddenly, again a voice rose like a bell. It said, "Time's up." We stood up. We had come out of the building. I regained my conciousness. I was in 22nd century and was taking a tour of dreams in DAY DREAMS IX654329. We had to select four words and see dreams on those words.

It was the most bizzare experience I had. Was it reality or was I still dreaming!?
