Model Answer 1:
Introduction Well, we have often have dreams but, most of the time I see myself traveling in foreign country, having a dinner with a famous celebrity but sometime I have nightmares as well and I would like take this opportunity to share my experience of having a nightmare.
When it was? and what was a nightmare? I vividly remember, when I was in 10+2 and my final exams were just around the corner. One night I had a dream in which I am siting in examination hall and it is my mathematics exam. In fact, it’s the subject that I hate most and I preform really bad in it. To be honest, I am really not good at mathematics I find this subject really difficult at the same time boring. So, in my dream I saw myself siting in examination hall
unable to solve any question. I was having very tough time in solving the math problems and when the result got declared I failed in mathematics. It was really terrifying experience
How did you feel afterwards? Usually I forget the dreams when I wake up in the morning but this particular nightmare started to hunt me from that particular day. I simply could relax at all. This thing was there on my mind all the time.
Since, I was really tensed so I decided to share this problem with my mother. I told her about the nightmare that I had after that she said to me that you should think it as a message of god. You should nott waste time and start practicing today itself.
So that I actually pass this exam and not let this bad dream come true. I took it as a challenge and from that day I started to practice hard, I started to devote extra hours to practice mathematic In fact, my friends too helped me in coming out of this fear.
Now the final exams were there and I was really well prepared to take this exam and I performed really well and I got positive results. I scored high in the final exam and I must say, after seeing my result I was really happy and from that day onwards.
Conclusion: This nightmare stopped hunting me at all. But, overall it was quite a terrible experience of having such nightmare.
