A well known author whose name I can’t recall at the moment, once said that world can be divided in two groups- those who think that there is no magic and the others who believe that everything in this world is magic. I belong to the second group. For example, I believe that my computer is an entity with its own unique personality, whims and fancies. It completely disregards my needs and wishes and hangs on when I need to meet a deadline. I some time wonder, if my neighbors are actually humans or witches and wizards like Halliwell sisters in ‘Charmed’ which happens to be my all time favorite show. It was funny, weird and of course full of magic. I still like to watch this show even though it has ended. The episode that I downloaded today and have just finished watching is entitled ‘Dream Sorcerer’.

Phoebe and Piper decide to give a love spell they found in Book of Shadow a try. While they are being frivolous, Prue makes up her mind to give her relationship with Andy a chance. Unwittingly, she attracts the interest of a wheel-chair bound man who experiments with “dream-walking”. Since he comes- on very aggressively, he is often rejected by women and as revenge he enters their dreams and kills them in their sleep. The most dreadful thing about it is that the woman dies in real life as well. While Prue tries to fight off the sleep, Andy and Darryl investigate a series of strange and inexplicable deaths. Prue falls asleep while driving and ends up unconscious in hospital after an accident. With her sisters by her side lending support to her, she fights out the battle in her dreams. Andy and Darryl track down the culprit and try to wake him up so that he can be investigated. But Prue uses her powers and manages to overcome the assault and Andy watch the man dying in his sleep.

Phoebe and Piper eventually reverse their spell because they realize that the men they like are giving them attention only because of magic. Good thought. Besides, they get sick and tired of unwanted attention they are getting. Though honestly, I won’t mind trying the spell once.
