Once when I was four or so I had a dream where I was falling in slow motion down some concrete stairs. I reached for a handle on the wall but it just slipped out of my grasp. I looked up and at the top of the stairs was standing the conductor from Thomas The Tank Engine. Who knows why? I then looked down and at the foot of the stairs there was a door. I never got there because the dream then ended. |
