77. A Void
Lost in time you don't know where
No help is around to lead you clear
Open your eyes it's only a dream
The ceiling above is a floating stream
I remember falling asleep and then drifting into nothingness. Although I was still sleeping, my subconscious brain told me I was awake but lost in time somewhere. What was strange about this particular dream was being alone. Normally, in all my dreams there are lots of people around who help me to make sense of what’s happening, but this time it was just me, and I felt uneasy and honestly scared.
At some point in the dream, I remember looking up to the sky, and what I saw left me both bewildered and speechless. In the sky was a floating stream, that was flowing as far as the eye could see. It wasn’t daytime and it wasn’t night either, it felt like dawn but darker. Another thing that didn’t help was the silence of the dream. There was no noise full stop.
Then suddenly without warning, the floating stream starting to come down. I looked around for help, but there was none. There was also nowhere to run to because I was in the middle of what looked like a large field, with no buildings for miles around.
As the floating stream hovered just above my head, I closed my eyes and waited to die, and when I opened them again, I was in my bed. As I sat up, I looked towards the ceiling of my room, and then from nowhere tears began to fall down my cheeks. Tears of thankfulness and relief that I didn’t die in my dream.
