When I was riding into the woods the other day, I saw a girl with beautiful golden locks tied into a french braid. She was filling pots of water at the riverside.
The grace with which she walked towards the palanquin awaiting her, left me spellbound. I waited and watched for a while in complete hush. I tried to sneak a glance of the 'glaring' face- which I imagined, but in vain. It seemed to me like someone of great authority longed her presence in the palki, as she hurried towards it. Few other ladies were walking with her too, but my eyes would not move away from her.
Suddenly someone called out from faraway- 'Chimera' and my fair lady turned back slowly. So, I said to myself "This charming lady was called Chimera. Wow! What a differentiated name". I took a deep breath and waited with excitement. May be she would be the lady of my dreams. May be I would have a fairy tale love story like the ones grandma narrated. My heart skipped a beat or two :). She finally turned.
To my horror, she appeared to be a witch with a wrinkly face, a red elongated nose and the longest nails I had ever seen. I yelled, "NO"!

Shocked, I found myself in my bed soaked in a stream of sweat. YES, it was a dream. A scary one.
Later when I tried to recall, I realized Chimera meant 'imaginary'.
Aren't dreams supposed to bring out our imagination or sub-conscious thoughts ?
