In this episode of TidyBytes, Reagan and Eisha talk about their dreams. Most of Reagan's dreams are about his deceased parents. Eisha surprises him by telling him that after the fallout they had during the first season of TidyBytes, when she had to abruptly end the season (she called it a 'roadblock'), she saw his mother in her dream and complained to her about his offensive behaviour. Reagan had a dream where his parents wagged their fingers in front of his face and admonished him. Bizarre! They then talk about music and how Paul McCartney dreamt up the lyrics of Scrambled Eggs and Let It Be. Reagan suggests Pink Floyd's Any Colour You Like in The Dark Side of the Moon might have also been composed in a dream. Eisha discloses that all her dreams have always come true.

In 2002, Reagan went to the lesser-known parts of the Himalayas in Himachal Pradesh. The dak bungalow where he stayed after a ride in a rickety bus dated back to the times of the British Raj. His curiosity led him to a raised cemented structure, which was a huge squat toilet. Not many have the nose for shit but Reagan's not ordinary. What he found was a huge spider, the sight of which has traumatized him for 19 years. Next, he listened to a chowkidar tell him the story of a girl who drowned in a well there, which reminds Eisha of some of the Ramsay Brothers' horror flicks. The following day, on a trail, a goatherd caused a minor avalanche. Reagan had to spider-crawl across the mountain slope to save his life. This episode of TidyBytes has it all!

After the death of her beloved granny-in-law in 2016, Eisha had the same recurring dreams for four years. Then in 2020, while she struggled with depression trying to cope with the pandemic, she started writing them. New to fiction-writing, she first wrote a film and then turned it into a novel. Over the course of three months, the words just flowed into a 1,55,000-word trilogy. After sending the first part to a publisher, who promptly gave her a positive reply, she started chatting with Reagan, and discovered, to her astonishment that he is exactly like the fictional character in the book. Over the next nine months, the book played out in their lives. Creepy? Yes. They both discovered they're twin-flames. In this episode of TidyBytes, Eisha tells their story.

It was the privilege of knowing and living with a pure-bred German Shepherd named Schneider, that kindled Reagan's eternal love for dogs. His two adopted dogs, Handsome and Tiger, are a part of a pack of four who are taken care of by the residents and tenants of the iconic 250-year-old Great Western Building in Bombay, where he lives. The kindness Tiger showed him when Reagan was down with malaria during the lockdown brought about by the Covid19 pandemic in 2020 has remained with him. In this episode, he talks about how much the dogs take care of him.

The non-stop ringing of the landline at Reagan's house irritates Eisha during one of their recordings. She asks him to answer the call. He says the MTNL guys are calling to check out if his WiFi is working, which it isn't. Reagan tells her he went to the MTNL office to get it fixed but the elderly women officials there offered him vada-pav, the popular Mumbai snack. A conversation between giggles makes this episode.

This episode of TidyBytes with Reagan and Eisha starts with Reagan singing Lionel Richie's Hello. He and Eisha then talk about marriages and live-in relationships including the latest news of Aamir Khan separating from Kiran Rao after 15 years of marriage. Reagan enumerates the life lessons about love he learnt from his mother. Eisha tells him he is very similar to Florentino Ariza, the protagonist in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love In The Time Of Cholera, which Reagan has gifted her. They discuss Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel that Eisha gifted him a while ago and then Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens. Reagan prefers Herodotus instead. The conversation then moves onto two big incidents that turned Reagan's life upside down. A girlfriend left him heartbroken in 2003 and he never fully recovered after that. In early 2005, he was run over by a car outside Leopold Cafe in Colaba. The accident left him with a broken arm but the ache he felt when his parents didn't come back from the UAE to see him in the hospital left him with the insecurity of abandonment. Few men talk about their pain. Reagan stands out for his courage. This episode has laughter, music, memories and tears.
