"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream." -Edgar Allan Poe


The world below you takes a breath
As you descend
Deep into what seems to be nothing
As you're falling
The light shines through
But just for a second
Then again darkness surrounds you
You try to scream
But no sound is heard
You see everything
But still you see nothing
You feel the ground below you
And you stand on your feet
You turn around
As the breath is ripped from your lungs
And you fall once more
You close your eyes
Trying to think of a better place
As a cold sweat pours down your face
You thrash about
Hoping to feel something
Something to stop you from falling
But there's nothing there
There never has been
Nobody is there
No one to stop you
And no one to help you
You breath your hardest
But your lungs give way
As you hit the water with one last breath
Your throat burns
As the water fills your lungs
And fire starts to pierce your torso
You rip at your flesh
As the acid eats at your skin
You feel dizzy
As the rain starts to fall
You feel heavy
And you can't move
You're lying on the ground
As your breath returns
To your screaming lungs
You get up and walk away
As the wind starts to howl
And cold ice starts to form on your skin
You begin to cry
But your tears freeze
As blood starts to flow from your eyes
The pain makes you feel numb
You feel nothing
But your heart beating in your chest
Someone watches you
As you walk towards the horizon
He follows you
Watching your every step
And studying your face
You can't see him
Although you feel his eyes burn into your skin
You turn around
But all you see is the wind blowing
You quicken your pace
But he stays right behind you
You close your eyes
That gives him strength
He grips your arm
His hands are like ice
You look down to push his hand away
But there's nothing there but a mere hand print
The color drains from your face
You start to run but you can't move
The wind picks up
As you again start to fall
Down...down into the darkness you fall
Again you fall forever
Until you see light
And you hit the ground
You wake up screaming
And fall back onto your pillow
To fall asleep again
Until human voices wake you
And you drown


The author's comments:
This is a reoccurring dream that I keep having. I've had this dream since I was twelve...and I've never been able to say why. I'm just not sure. Every person I've told it to doesn't have a clue why I could be having it. I figured that if I write about it, someone might see it and may be able to tell me what it means.
