The ‘Green Fields’ dream

I had the 'Green Fields' dream almost two years ago but I have never forgotten it. The dream proved to be a stress buster for me. I was reading my little nephew's blog on dreams, so I thought why not I too post something about my favourite dream. I don't know if I would have liked this dream if I had seen it during different circumstances. Unfortunately, I cannot disclose what exactly those circumstances are. Let's say, I had the dream during a rough patch in my life. And by God's grace, I used to have it often during that time.

It's a very simple dream. In the dream, I was running across green fields. I was running fast and I could feel the breeze blowing at my face. I was smiling and enjoying every minute of the soothing touch of wind on my face. I could see only greenery everywhere. The greenery had a strange cooling effect on me. I felt nothing in life could go wrong if I continued to run across the fields. Far ahead I could see a group of people sitting on the grass. I could not make out who they were. I ran towards them. Soon the faces appeared to be familiar. I could see friends and family, the ones who I want to see every day of my life. I ran and fell into the lap of my mother and she gently stroked my hair and face. Everyone was smiling, laughing and enjoying themselves. I didn't want to leave this place. I wanted to stay here forever.

The happy scenes around me and the vast green fields began to fade away. I opened my eyes; the time was 6:00 am. I really don't know how long this dream lasts. I always get the feeling I used to start dreaming of it the moment I shut my eyes and the dream used to end when the clock struck 6:00am. Strange, but true….

I had this dream many times and I always look forward to falling asleep into this dream again and again……
