During the holidays, I often sleep late and during the pooja holidays, I dreamt of the world of plants. I dreamt I was a rose plant. I also noticed that I was in a nursery. There were so many rose plants like me. After some time a woman came and gave us some water. It tasted like lemon squash. Then she gave me some food. It was all crumbly and tasted like Cadbury Diary Milk Silk. After this, she fed me some white coloured balls — it was like homeo medicine. The buds that were on my hand began to bloom. Then a child came in and smelled my flowers. I found that I was going to be sold off. But ,because of a scar on my leaf, the customer didn't choose me. Then suddenly I felt a mosquito biting me. It was actually scissors. My flowers and some of my branches were cut off. I was feeling a small pain but I suddenly I felt cold. They applied a green paste on me. It tasted like Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste. I felt someone tickling me. It was my mom, calling me to get up. Then I noticed that it was a dream, and the lemon squash was actually the water obtained from dry leaves and the food which I ate was dried cow dung. The homeo medicine was urea. The applied paste was actually a chemical substance which is applied to the branches to prevent the plant from drying up. I thought that in my next life, I will be a plant and will get a chance to enjoy the taste of lemon squash and food which tastes like Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk.
