Mexican Rescue...
I can not remember my dream of today morning, but it sure was weird. What I can remember very very vividly is my dream involving snakes and riverside drive and ohhh the word “mexican rescue”.
In my dream, I m driving my Dad’s car
( the convertible) on a road which starts off as Riverside drive, which has the river on the right, suddenly turns into a kachchi sadak, and has a deep and narrow valley on the left hand side and a stiff mountain side on the the other.
(In my dream, i was thinking-- this can not be, i m driving back home from work, so the river has to b on the right!)
Suddenly I end up being on a bicycle instead of in a car, and am dressed in shorts, and am feeling cold,like when removed from the warm sun of a cold day. Lots of greenery all around me, Lots of trees, can hear the sounds of the wild and m distinctly feeling cold.
All of a sudden, there are snakes all around me. Lots of them, I sense them, though I see only three, brightly coloured snakes.I remember their colors, they were deep maroon and yellow and had snake –mottled skins around (aahh, they r snakes, aren't they).
I hate snakes I can not look at them without getting the creeps, but somehow, even in real life, I am the first to spot them. On DAD’s bday, when we had gone to a nature trail we saw so many snakes... Somehow, my DAD, the one who sees more then me always, be it reading a sign or a map, could never spot these ugly things. I just did... I sensed them then, like finding a clove of garlic in my vada pao, always, whenever we went to Ambaji Vadapaowala ,when nobody else's vada pao ever had it, mine always did b'cos I hated it sooo much!
Coming back to my dream, I see some people along the trail who have snakes around their necks and are kissing the snakes (??? yakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk !!! )
I realise, I am extremely scared to proceed further, being a bad driver and so on and m absolutely uncertain about how to deal with the snakes, besides the fact that I am on a road which has suddenly turned weird.
I do the only logical thing, I call out to a group of people in the river on a raft. I tell them I m very scared of snakes and ask them if they can they help me (I have no idea what I expect them to do, but then i expect them to help me, somehow!!1) There is a woman in the group, in her mid 20s, she just walked out of some advert of "rugged nature specials" who is standing on the raft and she responds to my plea for help saying "Sure we'll help u, we will perform the mexican rescue ”.
I remember thinking in my dream," whatever the hell that means".
And then u won't believe what she does... that woman throws a snake at me, from around her neck, from the river to here. I was sooo angry, and scared that I throw it right back at them and then…

My Dream ends itself and a very angry me got up.
On telling my roommate about it, the moral of the story from the above narrration, was summed up in 5 words "Do not sleep till 10!"
Hence…
