I had a dream.

I dreamt I was in the most terrible prison, and there was nothing I could do to get out. Hundreds of people were in there with me, and they were all miserable, but they were surviving. I couldnt survive. I knew if I stayed in there much longer, I would die, and I would die a most miserable death.

I looked everywhere in that prison, every corner, every crack every unexplored attic or ceiling...there was no way out. I could never escape from there. There was nothing I could do except die. I cant even explain how hopeless and miserable I felt.

So I just played dead. I dropped down to the floor and decided to hold my breath. Gaurds came in and looked at me lying there, talking to each other and discussing why they think I died, and whether I was faking it or not. They'd stare at me for what seemed like hours, looking for the slightest hint of life. I'd try not to breathe, but every now and then I couldnt help but flutter my eyes reflexively or move my breathing muscles, and I was sure they'd noticed and just laugh and walk away.

But they didnt notice. They honestly thought I was dead. After ages of just expecting me to get up and miraculously come back to life, they eventually gave up and dragged me out of that prison.

It was night time, and the moon was huge. The prison loomed behind us like a mountain sillhouette as they dragged me from the massive entrance door. They left me there outside in the dark streets, and went back inside and closed those huge doors behind them.

I couldnt believe they fell for it...I couldnt believe I was free. I stood up and looked up at that vast expanse of sky with the lonely moon singing its song of palest light. I cant even describe that heartfelt elation that I felt at that moment...I remember looking in the distance, and there was someone walking towards me. I'd never met her before, but I knew her somehow, and she was a friend, and she was there to tell me there was something else I needed to do before I could truly be free.

Weird dream.

It continued, but I'll tell the rest of it next time. Too tired now. Early day tomorow ;)
