It was a very vivid dream. There was this amazing clarity of the chess board which was green and cream in coloured checks. The pieces where 3 dimensional. One couldn’t remember the first move or the beginning of the game. It was a game in progress. The moves that one was making with the white coloured pieces were brilliant. And the black pieces moved equally good.
The white queen’s knight was dancing on the board ruthlessly. One could have never imagined those moves in the wakeful state. It moved all over the board stunning the black pieces. There was life in the white knight and sometimes one felt it’s was him inside the knight.
What an amazing fool the mind is!! It’s powers in wakeful state is so limited, covered by layers of emotions and desires. Somehow the other face of the mind is open in the sleep state. It played in white pieces against itself creating black pieces. It was constantly calculating and working hard on the disasters it made in the games that day. It wanted order and win. It will not rest until it has worked and found out a way for its inferior talent in chess. Interestingly, It couldn’t recall the beginning and the end of the game in dream. There was no result as to who won. How can it be? Both the pieces were a design of mind and it can not encounter defeat.
Is sleep, a chance for the mind to rejuvenate and enjoy roaming in unknown territories? Does it even stay inside the brain? Is there something else beyond the brain-mind matter, that is working?
