NIGHTMARE OR AN ADVENTURE?
NIGHTMARE OR AN ADVENTURE?
What
can be a biggest nightmare for any girl or for that matter anyone? A severe
hair fall or perhaps even going completely bald? I am sure everyone fears it. It’s weird how my
constant fear of hair loss has got so engrossed in my mind that I end up getting
them in my dreams. I really wonder how I get such strange and weird dreams and
tend to remember them all. I am not sure if it’s a good thing to get dreams so
often or to remember them. If analyzed deeply, one may realize that its nothing but a
multiple unrelated experiences or memories which you had in past brought
together in the form of dream, though they make no sense in the reality.

It’s about the dream I once had about hair fall. There was this character, A mad
scientist, I don't remember the face, but he was in his mid-40s, bald, psychotic
and a criminal. He was everywhere in the news, CBI & police were looking
for him.
It was a Sunday morning, my dad and brother were watching news on TV, mom busy
in kitchen chores and I was getting ready to go meet my friends. I was combing
my hair when I heard the news reporter from the TV say “Breaking News! Scientist
turned Murderer! A week before five people from different parts of the city went
missing. Two days ago, two were found dead. As per the police & forensic
reports it was suspected that, the scientist XXX is kidnapping the people with
massive hair loss.” The moment I heard hair
loss a big chunk of hair came off my head while doing my hair. I screamed in
terror “Mummy….!!!” the news went on in background “…. and testing his hair
treatment formulas illegally. Reports says that his hair gain formula was
rejected by FDA( Food & Drug Administration) for conducting the human trials for obvious reason as it was
found to be lethal to humans.” No one paid much attention to the news but it’s
kind of echoed in my ears, he was kidnaping people with hair problems. I was so
much in shock that I fainted. A few moments later I opened my eyes, And I was
not at my home… I was in a jail in the cave surrounded by some strangers. I could
hear someone crying and sobbing. As my vision got clearer, I could see a
laboratory in front of me. My mind got alarmed! “Oh my God. I am Kidnapped!”
Few moments later, I accepted the fact that I am kidnapped. I looked around. There
were around ten people along with me including all the age groups having a different
hair loss conditions, one of us was a cancer patient who had a undergone a
chemotherapy and there was this poor little girl along with us continuously
crying, whom we happened to find that is daughter of that mad scientist. Due to
heredity, she inherited same hair loss problem like her dad. “He didn’t even
spare his own child.” one of the person behind me said and sighed.
He
walked in while we were bonding you know #victimbondingthing. He entered with a
creepy laugh announcing that “Today is the day one of you going to thank me for
rest of your life.” He was so ignorant of the fact that his technique was
killing people. “Let’s see whose lucky day is today” he rubs his hands in excitement
and sat near his some age old computer system “Rule is rule, I am using this computer
software which will randomly pick one of you based on your ID no. I don’t want
to be partial towards anyone” weird creepy laugh. It was then I realized that we all have an ID
card in our neck. (how weird a dream can be?) “yeahuh, so its ID no Bald@08.who
is it?”, a guy behind us was shaking and sweating in fear. “Please save me.
Please save me god.” He whispered. The jail lock was opened automatically, and
guy was beeping. “Ayah don’t worry, it’s just a beeper to find out the person”
He dragged that guy out. he made him sit on his apparatus , it was weird , was
like a chair with a belt on his head , it looked like a steamer , we girls see
in the beauty parlors not that complicated and then he threw some violet liquid
with purple fumes over his head. It triggered
a science student in me. Purple fumes. I remembered the salt identification experiment
performed during my plus 2 in chemistry lab. It surely has an Iodine component in that
chemical. (don’t know how this piece of information going to help) I was lost
in my mental investigation. A moment later. The guy got his hair back we were
so shocked it happened so fast for a moment I believed that its real effective
but, in a minute, or two that guy’s head started degenerating and he was
screaming for help just like they show in movies with visual effects. The guy’s
head disappeared, and he died with a body without head. “Damn seems like I
picked a wrong rat, damn it, waste fellow, tomorrow I will come again and pick
another one.. be ready” mad scientist looked at us in disappointment and I don’t
know why he was a giving a look like a coach gives to his players when they
don’t perform well. But damn it was no lesser then a horror movie.
“He is a monster, dangerous monster!” his daughter burst off crying terrified
to see his father do such sort horrific things, shivering, stammering. Like
every movie, we didn’t lose hope we started making AN ESCAPE
PLAN. (will be continued in my next post “An Escape Plan”)
I know you might be
wondering how one can remember a dream so clearly, ah yes you are right. It is
bits and pieces of my dream where the gap was filed with my imagination. Hope
you liked it.
I would love to hear about your experiences with your dreams. Do leave your valuable comment. 😊
