field of dreams.

(Image source: my dA) Dreams are something I am quite fascinated with, though sadly they are something I seldom remember. Yet, there are the occasional ones that really stick with me. Ones that I can't forget, despite the many years that has passed. This one in particular struck me and has remained in my memory ever since it was born unto my unconscious. It was conceived during which I was just overwhelmed by stress and to the point of giving up.

It begins with me sitting on the ground, knees drawn to my chest, my back propped against a amber-colored casket, in a dim candle-lit funeral parlor. My face was buried in my knees as I wept. It appears that my father had passed away in this dream. Beside me was a ceramic dish with burning pieces of paper filled with writing. After a while, a shadow fell on me. Noticing it, I drew up head up to meet the caster of it. I was greeted by the seemingly friendly face of a man. He then offered me his hand and told me, "Come. I'll show you the world." Reluctantly, I took his hand. All of a sudden, a pair of black-colored wings sprouted from his back. Without thinking, I climbed onto his back and he took flight. The parlor disappeared and was replaced with snow-capped mountains and pine trees. After a while, the snowy paradise was absorbed into the eternal darkness of outer space, where my gaze was met with a breathtaking view of earth. He turned to look at me... and then I was ripped from slumber by the alarm clock.

It's been three years and I still can remember this dream, for some reason. A reason that I hope to find out eventually.
