Have You Ever?
Everyone has that dream at some point in their life. The dream where you are suddenly in a foreign place completely unknown to you and your past memories. Where you blink a couple times and look around so baffled and fuzzy in the brain that you rub your eyes thinking that it will help you focus more clearly. It doesn't though, just pushing more of the sleepy dust into your eye, making it water more. Confusing you even further. Almost to a panic. You tell yourself this is just a dream, this isn't real, take a deep breath, you can control this, find a point of reference. But there isn't a point of reference. Not one that is familiar to you at least. All you want to do is wake up, to pull the covers over your head and feel the safe familiarity of your home, your own bed, the smell of your perfume and conditioners mixed with cigarettes on your pillows. You yearn for that, try and reach out for it with your heart, scream at that distant memory to come back to you, like it's going to listen. And as that memory slowly fades from your confused brain, you finally realize the unnerving truth. You aren't dreaming, in fact you are in present time, the now, the painful heart-wrenching now. And you are alone.
