I often have really bad dreams. The most memorable is a dream that frequently occurs. Its a somewhat chilly day in Spring. Leaves color the ground in bright patches of reds oranges and yellows. I'm at an elementary school with a red and green playground. I go up to the monkey bars and try to go across. As soon as I reach the middle the bars began to fall. I grasp them as tightly as I can to try and prevent myself from getting hurt but they disappear. The leaves beneath me seperate leaving me to fall into an endless hole. Just as I'm about to fall into the never ending darkness my entire body jerks and I awake to find out that I was dreaming again. |
