PROJECT 86
Am I dreaming
Or am I just walking in my sleep
A scattered dream that’s like a far off memory
We've only got the dream so let's keep it alive
That dream is yours and mine
Prologue - I must be dreaming...
Why is it so dark? I can’t see anything except a really dim light somewhere. Am I inside a room? A cave? Why do I feel so tired?
I feel comfortable. There is something soft underneath and on top of me, something to keep me warm. I must be in a dark room then. A cave wouldn’t be so soft. Unless it was a cave made from cushions. A cushion cave seems like a pretty fun place to go to. Where in the world is the light switch?
I can hear...ringing somewhere. Or I think it is a ringing sound, just extremely muffled so I can’t really make it out. Oh it’s just my alarm clock. It sounds a bit different from usual. I guess it’s time to open my eyes and turn it off. Blast it! The light is blinding my eyes! It’s morning already?! Damn. I don’t want to get off my soft bed. Feels so comfortable to lay in my sheets. But I guess I have to get up since it’s already six-thirty.
Wait a minute. Six-thirty? My alarm clock was supposed to go off at seven. Or was it? Maybe I set it for a bit earlier since I like to lie in my bed for a while after waking up. I can’t really remember. But I guess I’ll do just that, lay down on this bed for a bit longer and stare at my light purple walls and yellow curtains.
Wait a second. Since when have my walls been purple and curtains yellow? This... this isn’t my room. Where am I? Why am I not in my room?! I’m getting up. Why am I getting up? I don’t want to do that. Don’t. Get Uuuup. My body isn’t responding!
This definitely isn’t my room. My table isn’t in that corner nor do I have such an elaborate computer and stereo system. Or a gaming console. Where am I going now? The bathroom? Well I do have to go in the mornings but where the hell is this? Stupid. Body. Stop. Movi-
”I must be dreaming for, I don’t fall in love lawlessly~ I must be dreaming or, pinch me to waking~”
The melodious electronic beat blasted from Yoona’s phone waking her up with a jump. She immediately sat up and swirled her head around the room frantically, her hands clenching her sheets.
She was in her own bed, in her own room with light blue walls and white curtains through which the sun had started to force its rays. Releasing her strong grip from her bed sheets she fell back down on her bed, eyes gaping staring at the roof. Heaving a sigh of relief she craned her neck and looked at the bedside table, picked up her phone and turned the alarm off.
Seven A.M.
So it was a dream. Just a dream.
Foreword
A story idea I had a long time ago that was never fully realised. Now is the time for that.
It's set in a world that is similar in its time period and technology level as our own world. Call it an AU fic situated in a modern society much like ours. It's lightly sci-fi, mostly fantasy, and an adventure that takes place between reality and the dream world and everything you may find in between.
I hope yall will enjoy what I've been cooking up in this tiny little cranium of mine. Don't let the lengths of the chapters discourage you too much. I hope you can enjoy the story and don't hesitate to leave any questions or queries you may have of anything that's confusing. I'll answer each and every one and appreciate all comments.
Thank you for taking the time to check this fic out! Hope you stay! Ta!
