A Pond

I've been having really weird dreams the past few days. But the pattern of how the story goes is almost the same in my dream. When I'm dreaming about that, I notice it's dream in the middle of my dream, and that's when I get paralyzed from fear or so it takes a few more minutes to get out of that scary scene. What's weird is that when I realized that in the dream, I remember what the dream is from my consciousness but I 'm awake forget the whole part of it soon after a few seconds after i wake up most of the time.

Fortunately, I managed to remember a piece of the dream. I'm not a believer of some kind of superstition related to dreams, but I'm writing in the hopes of organizing the thoughts on my mind.

I was running on rooftops in the night, and someone was chasing behind me. When he reached towards me, the scene suddenly shifted to a field of reeds, and there was a pond a few feet off from me. I threaded myself through thefrom reeds to the pond. The pond was crystal clear and I could see inside, lit by the moon. There was a man, looked so peaceful with his eyes closed and hands up; he was sleeping. I shouted to him to get out of the pond. But he didn't open his eyes.

Lit by moonlight, the pond was clear enough to let me fathom how deep it is. Deep in the pond was darkness, though the surfaceabove and outside of the pond was bluish bright. I couldn't just keep shouting so I looked around for long tree branches to get him out. I pulled his chin up to the surface with a long slender branch, then I hooked it to the collar of his clothes and pulled himit closer and closer to my side. But his shirts got pulled off, so only his shirts was hanging on the branch.

He was at a close distance but it was too far to reach my arm, and the main problem was I can't swim. I just helplessly saw him keep drowning down toward the darkness of the pond.

The clarity of the pond was just showing me him disappearing from my sight.

*great vocabulary! hope you break free from your nightmares and have a pleasant dream tonight :)
