I had a dream.
A lucid dream I wish I finished.
Everything moved so slowly.
I stood alone on an empty field, gravel beneath my feet.
An expanse of red and brown.
A shadow loomed over me.
I felt curious. Almost scared.
I leaned my head back far enough to see behind me.
A tall scaffolding? Here?
I wasn't given a chance to comprehend anything but that,
before I noticed a metal bar falling,
pointed tip aimed directly at me.
It fell slowly, giving the impact of impending death that much more meaning.
There was no time to run, maybe I just didn't want to.
All I did was close my eyes.
Welcoming whatever was going to happen.
It went right through me.
And I was killed.
I felt nothing.
I died feeling nothing.
I thought that was the end.
It was dark and cold
My eyes saw nothing.
I waited...
What was I still doing here?
A while more and I finally felt something different.
I was floating. Was I headed to the after-death?
I blinked and found myself immersed in a dark blue, semi-liquid mass.
It felt like water, only it was harder to swim through.
What was this?
I felt so light.
The liquid was cool against my skin.
It was comforting.
Curiosity got the better of me.
If I was dead, this must be the in-between.
Maybe I was supposed to find my way?
And so I swam.
I swam and swam without any destination in mind.
I wanted to explore this endless void of dark blue.
Where would I go, if I just kept swimming?
And then...
I saw a light.
It felt warm, comforting, beautiful even.
I inched closer, right hand extended...
Ready to be taken to someplace new...

And I woke up(or was woken up by someone, I can't recall).
It was already late in the afternoon.
My mind whirled with the idea of the possibility that that was what after-death really felt like.
And that was it.
Now it's just a dream.
The most vivid dream I have ever had and one I wont forget soon(well, it is on this blog).

Lotsaluv,
Tisha
