The setting
is on a place that isn’t on Earth. The time period is around now. The place has
white floors and white pillars with people moving among them in white Roman
togas. They don’t notice each other because they’re too focused on themselves. Some
of them are texting; others are talking on the phone. A few has simply broken
down, crying on the floor. While there were others that were asleep, oblivious
to it all.
That’s what
I saw when I had my dream a few days ago. I couldn’t really understand it, any
of it. But, the air smelled a bit like strawberries and I felt warm and safe
and that despite the scene that was before me, but maybe I can be… happy? Or
maybe the air was drugged and it made me want to believe that, because if so,
it was working.
I also
remembered looking down at me, a bit surprised to find that I was also wearing what
everyone else was wearing, a white roman toga. Funny, I also remembered patting
myself down wondering if this was actually real.
It must have
been at the time because I felt satisfied that it was. Because, I remembered
that I was… relieved for some reason (maybe it was because I was finally away from
my mom’s apartment and everyone in it).
And then
when I looked up, I saw someone – a guy – looking at me, with an incredulous
look on his face. It was as if he couldn’t believe that I was here.
I think I
was going to ask who he was, because I certainly have never seen him in my
lifetime, but I woke up. And I found myself looking at the ceiling, wondering
who he was, and why I couldn’t stay there for a few more minutes to ask.
