I did watch the dream for three reasons, 1. I was curious 2. I had nothing better to do and 3. needed a distraction...
I was not happy with the dream sequence per se but this is how I interpret it. Let me know your thoughts?
I don't necessarily think that it was a dream sequence although Surbhi and F32 called it so. It was more like a "thought process" ,which is an extension to Jannat's confusion. The song is very "submissive" in the sense that it talks about the female finding her "destination" in the husband/boy/lover... and it kind of speaks of what Jannat is desperately trying to force herself to do right now.
Yahin doobe din mere
Yahin hote hain savere
Yahin marna aur jeena
Yahin Mandir aur Madeena.
So, it's more like she is telling herself that this is her reality, her destination and she must find happiness here...
Yahin hote hain savere
Yahin marna aur jeena
Yahin Mandir aur Madeena.
So, it's more like she is telling herself that this is her reality, her destination and she must find happiness here...
But then, her real feelings surface and when she is alone, her inner sentiments for Aahil come over:
Tu meri neendo me sota hai
Tu mere ashqo mein rota hai
Sargoshi si hai khayalon mein
Tu na ho, phir bhi tu hota hai
Hai sila.. tu mere dard ka
So she acknowledges that even if she physically moves with Shaad, Aahil will always remain a part of her, because he has taken over her thoughts. His memories, his "asar" on her is such that though she is with Shaad as she should be, she is haunted by Aahil's memories. And, yes it is a harsh reality for her now, because although she wants to do the right thing and have a pleasant, romantic relationship with her husband as any dutiful wife should, she will forever be torn between her mind and heart. She blames Aahil for her state because had she not met Aahil, this would have not happened, and she could have positively and happily lived with Shaad. It's like "Samandar ne mujhe Pyaasa kiya hai... Main Jab Sehra mein tha, Pyaasa nahi tha..." meaning, it is not the dessert (Shaad) that made me feel my thirst, but the sea (Aahil) as it has now made me aware of what is lacking in my life...

Somewhere Sanam hates herself not Aahil but displaces her anger on him. The dream sequence was just an extension of her confusion where she knows she has to build a life with Shaad (hence the romantic aspersions) and she truly wants to, but she keeps getting lured to Aahil consciously or subconsciously and now even though she will physically go away from him, his love will never stop haunting her...
