Of dreamers...

Finally, I watched the Wizard of Oz. The DVD had been lying around in my apartment for a good one month, just waiting to be put to use. I was too tired when I started watching the movie and started to doze off towards the end. No no.. the movie wasn't boring. I was just too too tired. And this is not the first time I have slept during a movie. :D

Back to the Wizard, did I enjoy the movie? Oh, yes! I absolutely loved it!! (I slept only for a couple of scenes, which I was prompt to get updated about.) This is yet another movie where I am able to relate to the protagonist.

I have always been a dreamer. Dreaming in class, during exams, at meetings, on buses and trains, at parties, at work, and unfailingly, every single night. My dreams have mostly been about unrealistic things - ranging from me stuck at the bottom of an ocean in a drowned aircraft to talking monkeys driving cars to cutting ribbons of giant sized, colorful DNA with scissors. A book of my dreams would surely be a best-seller!

This wonderful song from the movie brings out the dreams most of us would have had at some point or the other. Revel in these dreams, for these are what that shape our inner world. What if they take us away from reality, reality has never been that easy anyway!

"Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops,
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow,
Why then - oh, why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh, why can't I?

When was the last time you wished you could fly like birds, over the clouds, over the rainbow?
