Note to subscribers: Sorry for all the irrelevant question papers I posted. That was just a way of saving them, and gaining some organic hits.
So, it was pharmacology paper-2 today, and I think I had the longest night in my whole life today. Slept from 2:30 to 5 AM, and that’s all. (I know, it’s not new for some people out there. My friends had slept everywhere from 45 minutes to 5 hours)
Anyhow, such intense sleep deprivation gave me the amazing chance of experiencing an awesome lucid dream. And read till the end, there’s a surprise. So, here’s how it goes.
At 2:30 I set my alarm to 6 o’clock, and decided I’ll wake up at 5 o’clock. (I don’t like waking up to alarm. So, I keep the alarm tuned for a later time which I must absolutely get up at, and instruct my body to wake me up before that. I somehow end up waking between 5 & 6)
And then, I was home all of a sudden. Talking to my dad, watching TV, etc. Suddenly I realize I was dreaming. And here’s what made it different – I couldn’t wake up! I tried pinching myself, but I just couldn’t open my eyes. Like I was stuck. I tried ringing my phone up, so that I’d be woken by the ringtone. But alas! Connectivity trouble inside the dream 😛
So, I wrote down about this amazing lucid dream, and without wasting time, went on top of my house and jumped down.
And then I woke up! 😀 I studied for a while, and went to write the examination.
And then, I actually woke up in my bed, at around 3:30. Still having a long time before 5 o’clock, I went back to sleep.
So, it was a lucid dream within a normal dream. The first one at my home was the second level dream, because it was really hard to come out of it. I felt like it took half an hour for me to come out of it. And the second one was the first level dream. Inception. Mind f***ed.

As you might have noticed, social media these days prioritize engagement and doesn’t really let people build relationship with an audience. One way to take back some control is to directly be connected to your favorite authors, artists, etc through e-mail. And that’s what subscribing to my newsletter is about, too. I’m intentionally staying away from substack (which is susceptible to enshittification), and self-hosting the newsletter. What that means is also that the mails could land in spam. So, please press “Not spam” if they do end up in spam. Thank you!
