Information to be known to the reader before going to the dream.
1. Our team at office has been working on weekends since the last 4 months.
2. The tool we develop is called a Nest (Name changed due to confidentiality policies).
3. Nest is a place to house bugs.
With these information before hand, i'll come to the day i had before the night of the dream.
It was sometime last week, i'm sorry i do not remember dates and numbers most of the times, the day started as usual at office. There were not many issues in my bucket to resolve when i had started the day. But as the day progressed, issues started pouring in. And i started resolving them one by one. By evening i received my new laptop. Which was gives so that i can resolve any critical issues from home too.
I was able to resolve some 3-4 issues by the end of the day and i still had some 5 bugs in the bucket still pending. Among these bugs, one was of a Crash. This was a show stopper. P1 bug in specific. To be resolved at the earliest. The analysis for this bug had consumed considerable amount of my time in the day. And i still had not figured out the cause for it.
I was still worried about this issue when i had left office sometime at 8:30 PM, not very late though. I thought of it all the way till home while riding my bike, as to what all possible causes might lead to this crash.
Finally i reached home with a kind of complicated mind set. I never knew the reason for this complication. I was tired and i had my dinner. And after some time in front if TV i just slept.
I usually have a tendency to sleep in just a few minutes from the time i lie down on bed. Everything was normal that day, and i did have a sound sleep.
People may say they had a dream in the mid night, early in the morning, blah blah blah. But i seriously do not remember when the dream started. One reason for this might be that i rarely get a dream in the night. I only dream about dreams in the day!! :P And even if there was any dream when i was asleep i would not remember any of them by the time i wake up the next morning. This was an exception that i did remember what i had dreamt of. If not the entire dream, some part of the it at least. Anyways i did not see any clock showing time in the dream to have remembered when it was. :P:P
The best thing of the dream was that i found myself sleeping even in my dream.. :) As always i was in a sound sleep. Free of thoughts, sleeping on my bed in my 9' X 12' room. Actually quite big, spacious and more than sufficient for a single person. I had kept my bag on the table which is just a hand away from my bed. I was awaken by some movement and sound in this bag, which supposedly had the new laptop. I found something moving inside the bag. I moved a little closer to the bag to investigate what it was.
It was very dark and there was no special sound effects as seen in movies, the sssshhhhhhhh, leaves of trees (all of them dry) flying in a direction with approximately 50KM/hour speed.;) But there were street dogs barking outside the house (there are 3 dogs in the street which do bark at any point of the day whenever they are awake). I slowly opened a the zip of the bag, only a small portion of it sufficient enough to see what was inside.
Any wild guess what could be inside??
Well, even before i peeped in to see what was inside, there was a King Cobra peeping out, looking out for me.........!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the bugs assigned to me had converted into snakes inside the bag. 5 of them, of different types based on the priority and classification of bugs (different classification - Crash, Serious Bug, Other Bug, UI, Performance. Priority - max 1 to min 5). This King Cobra was the Crash bug with P1. And there were other snakes like the Python, Viper, Rattle Snake, etc.
The King Cobra was trying to put in more fear into me about the itself (Crash Bug).
Fortunately , my reaction was very brave..! I just warned the King Cobra to shut everything possible and go inside the bag and stay quite failing which i would cut it into pieces and serve the Chinese with some delicious Snake salad, snake pickle , Snake noodles and whatever dish was possible out of it.
This is all that i remember about my dream!! :(
But the next day, i was able to fix this King Cobra, i mean the Crash in just 30 minutes. All the analysis i had done had given me great results. And i was just happy for this.. :)
I need to thank a few of my colleagues who actually have similar strange imagination. And may be it was courtesy: people around me during the breaks that i had this dream. Unfortunately, I cannot name them here.
Anyways THANKS EVERYONE!! :)
For the innovative thinking and imagination i have acquired as a result of the great company i have..! :)
