When I was three years old I had a dream that I was being chased through a forest composed of giant carrots by a gigantic cyclops rabbit. The carrots were not underground as carrots usually are; only the tips were underground the rest towering over me like trees. I do not know why the rabbit was chasing me but it was huge similar to the giants of fairy tales. I was terrified and I remember my dream self crying as I ran away from the rabbit. I was the only person there running in a straight line to an indeterminate place. It ended when I ran into a pond with a splash and woke up. |
