Love Whispers by Kalai Selvi Arivalagan (reading books for 7 year olds TXT) 📖

closed, his heart beating rhythmically to the cool breeze, the sleep took him over to a world of dream.

 

Yet, something happened within him. His soul actively peered into the foaming waves of the sea. Suddenly, something stirred through the waves and started to swim toward the shore. A beautiful mermaid! Her silver like fins glistened in the moon light and she started to sing beautifully. It is not a song of human language. The song reflected natural sounds of the sea. The tune of the song touched him gently and whispered something into his ears. The smooth sea breeze carried the song to him and whispered something in a strange language.

 

At the other end of the sea shore huge rocks blocked the sea waves from entering into the town. In his sleep, Solomon felt the smooth rustling movement of the mermaid toward those huge rocks. With her tail fin merged inside the sea water, the mermaid stood leaning on the huge rock. Half of her body hid behind the rock, and she starred at Solomon with a steady gaze. Mesmerizing magnetic waves traveled from her eyes and reached the palpitating heart of Solomon.

 

With a mesmerizing tone she whispered to him, ‘Wake up, my dear soul mate, it is time for wonders. Listen to me my heart, it is time for wonders.’ The mermaid stood there for some more minutes and never took her gaze from Solomon. Then, she turned and swam back into the sea. When someone shook and woke up Solomon, he blinked literally at everyone around him. He still felt the warmth of her magnetic gaze and slowly came to his senses as if from a trance.

 

“Teena, are you a mermaid?” He could not answer the question immediately. Once in a while he dreamed of mermaids and he usually skipped them as something that reflected these thoughts from the books he read for that day. But when it started to occur again and again it worried him. Now at the sea shore he met a mermaid face to face. He could not skip that as a dream.

 

Solomon knew very well that no one will believe him if they tell this. They may brand him as a person who is not in his normal sense. He could not capture the mermaid in his mobile for it went away before he could realize what happened to him.

 

Mermaid dreams are always as fascinating as they are perplexing. They can also be very haunting, whether you dreamed you met up with a mermaid, or that you actually were one. Either way, mermaids are creatures deeply rooted in mythology and folklore. As such, they have symbolic meaning that is rooted in the human subconscious. If you’ve been dreaming of mermaids, here are some possible interpretations.

 

Mermaids are creatures associated with femininity. This is not just because they are usually portrayed as beautiful women with long, flowing hair and scallop shelled bras, but because they reside in the water. Water is considered a feminine element-- associated with emotion and intuition. Mermaid dreams are always as fascinating as they are perplexing. They can also be very haunting, whether you dreamed you met up with a mermaid, or that you actually were one.

 

Whether you are a man or a woman, dreaming about a mermaid could be telling you something about your feminine side. If in the dream the mermaid made you happy and inspired awe, most likely you are happy about getting in touch with your feminine side. If you were a mermaid and happily dashing through the waves, it means you're embracing your femininity.

 

If, however, the mermaid frightened you or made you uncomfortable, it could mean you're afraid of being overwhelmed by the feminine side of your soul. It should be noted here that all men and all women both have feminine and masculine sides. The degree to which they express each side can vary, but we all have both sides.

 

Merfolk are hybrids. They are half human, half fish. Sometimes dreaming of a mermaid is reminding yourself that there is more than one side to you. Perhaps you are focusing too much on one side of your nature but have been ignoring the other side. You may be too busy playing the role of mother or wife and have been denying your creative side. Perhaps you’ve been a workaholic and have not been letting your fun side out to play enough.

 

Either way, becoming a mermaid in your dream could be your subconscious reminding you that you have to find a more balanced lifestyle to be happy.

 

Water and women are primal symbols of emotion. If you dream you’re facing a mermaid in your dream that is a threat to you, it may be a sign that you’re feeling emotionally overwhelmed. If she’s fighting with you, struggling with you, dragging you down into the depths, you may be having a hard time coming out of an emotional state like depression or despair.

 

Dreams like this may indicate that you’re in over your head and need to seek help and support.

 

There are two ways in which mermaids symbolize transformation. The first is in their own transformation from human to fish. Out of the water they look like the rest of us, in the water their legs are magically transformed into a tail, their skin transformed into scales. The other reason mermaids are associated with death is that their songs were said to lure sailors to their doom.

 

Either way, death in a dream rarely means physical death, but is a symbol of transformation. You have to kill of parts of yourself in order to let other parts be born, this is just the way of life. Mermaids may indicate that you are going through a major transition—most likely that transition is very emotional for you.

 

Either way, when a mermaid shows up in your dream, it’s not something you can easily forget. Pay attention to what she’s telling you and you can learn a lot about what’s going on in your subconscious

A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish.[1] Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. The first stories appeared in ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same tradition), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans.

 

Mermaids are associated with the mythological Greek sirens as well as with sirenia, a biological order comprising dugongs and manatees. Some of the historical sightings by sailors may have been misunderstood encounters with these aquatic mammals. Christopher Columbus reported seeing mermaids while exploring the Caribbean, and supposed sightings have been reported in the 20th and 21st centuries in Canada, Israel, and Zimbabwe.

 

Mermaids have been a popular subject of art and literature in recent centuries, such as in Hans Christian Andersen's well-known fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" (1836). They have subsequently been depicted in operas, paintings, books, films and comics.

With nearly three-quarters of the Earth covered by water, it's little wonder that, centuries ago, the oceans were believed to contain many mysterious creatures, including sea serpents and mermaids. Merfolk (mermaids and mermen) are, of course, only the marine version of half-human, half-animal legends that have captured human imagination for ages.

 

C.J.S. Thompson, a former curator at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, noted in his book "The Mystery and Lore of Monsters" (Kessinger, 2010), "Traditions concerning creatures half-human and half-fish in form have existed for thousands of years, and the Babylonian deity Era or Oannes, the Fish-god, is represented on seals and in sculpture, as being in this shape over 2,000 years B.C. He is usually depicted as having a bearded head with a crown and a body like a man, but from the waist downwards, he has the shape of a fish covered with scales and a tail."

 

Greek mythology contains stories of the god Triton, the merman messenger of the sea, and several modern religions, including Hinduism and Candomblé (an Afro-Brazilian belief), worship mermaid goddesses to this day. In folklore, mermaids were often associated with bad luck and misfortune. They lured errant sailors off course and even onto rocky shoals, much like their cousins, the sirens — beautiful, alluring half-bird, half-women who dwelled near rocky cliffs and sung to passing sailors. The sirens would enchant men to steer their ships toward the singing — and the dangerous rocks that were sure to sink them. Homer's "Odyssey," written around 800 B.C., tells tales of the brave Ulysses, whose naked ears were tortured by the sweet sounds of the sirens. In other legends — from Scotland and Wales, for example — mermaids befriended, and even married, humans.

Solomon knew the reason very well. His mind is disturbed. He could not concentrate on anything except thinking about her. For years his mother had been looking for a bride. Nothing materialized. Something or other happened and she could not see him married. Solomon had everything in life except a life partner.

 

When all his friends got married and moved along with their wives and children, he stood alone. The bachelor life that looked good and fascinating now turned into a complete boredom. Every day he returned to a empty house that did not give him the warmth of love and care. His mother could not come to Chennai leaving his ailing dad. The bond between couple gets stronger once they enter into their old age. Solomon remembered how his father screamed at his mother for a trivial reason and blamed her for everything that happened due to his fault. He never accepted his fault. But now he is not ready to permit her to stay with Solomon.

 

Solomon wanted to enjoy the bliss of married life. He started to yearn for an intimate companion with whom he can share his likes and dislikes and live a life full of happiness and emotional bonding. Physical intimacy did not matter much now for him. He needed a warm, loving female at home who can shower him with love and care. And he wanted that from a life partner only. After seeing Teena, he desperately wanted to be with her and have a life of fun with her. Yet, nothing clicked on his part and he desperately wanted something to happen soon. He even called his mother about Teena and wished she could help him in marrying her. After listening to his conversation, his mother felt happy and relieved. She promised that she will come there soon and meet her.
