I dream of getting chase by a black shadow. It was a random shadow, not solid but is there-- chasing after me. Im almost out of breath when my leg caught up on something, making me fall into something I'm not sure of. When I thought Im going to fall on the ground- it didn’t stop there. I keep on falling and falling to a never ending free fall. My hand and my hair is everywhere in the air as I closes my eyes in fear.

This is how Im going to die, is all I thought as I see nothing but darkness.

Until a moment where I gasped out of breath and open my eyes.

I was holding onto things so tight as I catch my breath. That dream feel so real that it still scares me even when I wake up. The bright sun slightly dazzled me then, when I realized I am somewhere in a middle of the forest instead of my bedroom.

It looks like a never ending forest, all green with tall trees.

The wind softly passes by me as I look up to the sky. This place is way too calm that it frighten me a bit. The leaves rustles through the calm wind and I stare at them for a good few minutes until the reality hit me.

“Why am I here?”

I get on my feet and look around, turn and turn until I get any answer I needed but nothing seems helping. There is something shiny caught my eyes then, not far from where Im standing at.

I hop in between the death branches, getting rid of the leaves that grow in the middle of the path toward the shiny things. I lost my breath when I finally see the clear view of the place.

In between the tall trees are old shiny mirrors, looking prettily abandoned. I stand in front of it and see my reflection. I see myself standing there alone, wearing a white lace dress and a pair of white shoes I never own in my closet. I look at myself for a pretty long time until I see another person behind me through the reflection on the mirror.

“Who’s there?” I said, half screaming as I turn and see a guy standing there, looking at me.

Suddenly, I find myself gasping for air all over again. I wake up from the dream.

It was just a dream, I find myself telling the same thing everytime I wake up like this. I look around and sigh a relief to find myself inside of my room.

It is raining outside and I wonder if it rain too at the place where I always dreamed of. For some reason I find myself keep thinking of the half vivid dream. I guess Im getting used to it, getting even more curious of the person and the places Ive seen in the same repeated dream.

The night after, I fell asleep earlier than usual and find myself getting too deep into the same dream. I am getting chased by something and find myself fall and fall into a never ending black hole until I gasp out of air. Taking my breath on the ground of the never ending forest that keep coming to my dream- except it feels a bit too real this time. I find myself smiling this time.

I get up, knowing whats coming next. I turn to the place where the sun shines into my eyes, where the abandoned mirrors are. I run toward the place and stare at myself on the mirror. I am in the white dress as it should always be in the dreams, and find the familiar silhouette on the mirror. He is standing there behind the trees. I turn and tilted my head so I can see him better.

“Hey-” I said and he take a step back. He look at me in disbelief, as if I am some kind of alien who fall from the sky-- or did I? Weirdly, he is wearing an old fashioned outfit. A faded colour outfits from head to toe, with a pair of over-sized black boots.

My eyes flutters, is he scared of me?

“I-I.. need help. I think I got lost and-..”

“Stop there” He said as he slowly walk out from behind the big tree and faced me. Im not sure but once I see his face, its like the time stop. He has such a beautiful eyes. I believe I saw it sparkles under the sunlight.

So, this is how you look like, I thought and realised I didnt wake up at this very second as I usually did.

“You can follow me” He said and I slightly smile, “-but I cannot guaranteed that you can find your way back home”

I don’t even think twice when he offer to guide me out of this place. He turn and start walking away. “Hey wait!” I said as I hop in between the dead leaves on the ground to catch up with him.
