Sapne ek aisi ajeeb si duniya hain jahan hamari atma azaadi se ghoomti hai, aur humari chetna sapne ke kahaniyon mein uljhti hai. Kai baar hamare sapno mein kuchh aise ghatnayein ghatit hoti hain jo hamare jeevan mein hui ya hone wale ghatnayein ko prakat karti hain. Aaj, main aapko ek aise sapne ke bare mein bataunga jisme ek chipkali ko marna ek pramukh bhaag hai.
Mera sapna ek raat ko aaya jab main apne ghar mein neend mein tha. Ghar mein chupchap tha, aur sirf mera mann mere sapno ki duniya mein tha. Main ek gehra neend mein tha jab maine dekha ki meri kamra ki diwarein chipkaliyon se ghiri hui hain. Chipkaliyaan chhat par chadhti aur neeche utarti hui dikhai de rahi thi. Main dar ke mare kaanp raha tha.
Chipkali ek aisi cheez hai jo mujhe hamesha se dara deti thi. Unke lambe pair aur tezi se ghumne ki kshamata ne mujhe hamesha pareshan kiya tha. Main dabe paon unke paas jaane ka sochta tha, lekin main dar ke mare hil nahi pa raha tha.
Tabhi kuch ajeeb hua, chipkali ek bade se haathi ki tarah badh gayi aur mujh par toot padi. Main ek hi pal mein jaan se maarne ka darr mehsoos kar raha tha. Chipkali ke chhote, karwahat bhara sir mere upar tha aur uska bada sa kaan mera chehra saaf dikh raha tha. Uske bhayankar chakkar mere aankhon ke samne ghoom rahe the. Maine uski aankhon mein dar dekha. Maine use kisi bhi kimat par apni jaan bachane ki koshish ki.
Maine chupchap uske paas se hatne ki koshish ki, lekin chipkali ne mujhe pakad liya. Maine uske kale chhale se dhakka maara, lekin voh mujhse kamzor nahi thi. Uska kilaafas mujhe apni taakat se ladte hue dikh raha tha.
Tabhi ek aawaz aayi, “Ruk jao! Kuch bhi karne se pehle socho.” Yeh aawaz mere sapne mein ek aakarshan ban gayi.
Maine dekha ki aas-paas ke log merein sapne mein aakarshit ho rahe hain, aur unmein se ek adbhut mahila thi jo kisi prakar se mere sapne mein aayi thi. Uski ankhen chamak rahi thi aur uske paas ek astra bhi tha jo chipkali ke upar prakat hua tha.
