Chapter fifteen
There are so many ways to wake up from a dream. For example, with the sound of an alarm clock. Or someone shakes and forces you to wake up. Or, the dream can finish on its own, without warning. Another fool proof way is of awakening is also when, during your slumber, your dream becomes a nightmare, and frightens you out of the fog, abruptly, irrevocably.
I too awoke from my dream, but not in one of the above mentioned ways. I woke up simply because I discovered that instead of dreaming, I had only re-lived reality, disguised as a dream.
That night, following Sebastian's proposal, I couldn’t sleep. Even the thought of dreaming of him was enough to help me slip into the clouds of oblivion. Anyhow, I no longer had to dream of him in order to have him. He was already mine.
