my dream from last night…

I found myself in a strange place…

I was waist deep in an icy body of water — dark… still… and filled with large chunks of white and blue ice
I could feel the cold cutting into me
I was freezing
Shivering
Every movement felt slow and heavy

At the edge of the water stood a large square black house
No windows
Just one open door — glowing with light
It felt like the only way out of this place

So I waded through the water in the night searching for something…
I didn’t know what

Then I heard crying

Someone calling out in distress

I saw a disturbance in the water ahead of me…
It was a girl…
She looked like she was drowning…
I moved toward her without thinking — instinct kicked in…

When I reached her.. I noticed something strange

She was blue

Her skin… her whole body… an unnatural blue

I tried to help her toward the shore toward the light — but suddenly she changed
She latched onto me
Hard…
she began trying to pull me out into deeper water…

She was trying to drown me

Her eyes were excited — almost joyful — as I struggled to stay afloat
She was enjoying it
Taking pleasure in my suffering
The fight for survival became violent and desperate
She wouldn’t relent

Neither would I

I fought and fought and fought

I was determined… not to let her win…

I pushed through the icy water toward the lit door of the black house as she tried again and again to drag me under
Through the open doorway.. I could see people inside — just living their lives
Normal
Unaware
Going about their day

I tried to yell to them

But I couldn’t scream loud enough

I kept trying… but my words had no weight
No volume
Nothing carried

I was so close to the door now — so close — and that blue bitch almost had me
She was seconds from pulling me under the surface of the water

I knew I had one chance left

I reached deep inside myself
I had to make it count

And I yelled one last time —

“YALL HELP ME”

I woke myself up… shouting those words out loud

Physically yelling

And suddenly… it was over

I was awake

Safe

What a relief

It was just a dream


—

very profound…
very real…
I laid awake in bed…
