Dreams Drawn Down

An Unwelcoming Start

I was able to dodge every open door, open cabinets, tables, chairs, but when I reached the next room, my dog Doll appeared in my way and with my desperate lunge in attempts to not stampede on Doll, I landed on my head.

I tried to open my eyes but it seemed like I had no strength. The only thing I saw as I tried to lift my heavy eyelids was my parents, and I felt that we were moving in what seemed like an ambulance. I couldn’t keep my eyes open and they shut immediately after.

I woke back up, but as I opened my eyes I saw that the world around me was constantly changing. I suddenly felt the burst of pain in my head as if my head would explode, and when I tried to lift up my arm, or, any other body part, it was not happening. The pain was too much and I surrendered myself by closing my eyes and trying mightily to bear the horrible pain, and surprisingly, the pain seized entirely. I then slowly opened my eyes and I started seeing colours and then shapes and then flashing colours with shapes revolving around my body. I tried lifting my arms up again and it happened without any pain or effort. All the colours got drained and every shape vanished. I was in a very dark void which seems to be getting darker. Everything was pitch black and it felt like I was only looking through my shut eyelids. I look down and then I suddenly felt strong currents of wind blowing upwards, and I saw a small light that seemed to be getting bigger. A grassy plane started forming into sight, and then I recognised that... I was falling.
