I walked to some sort of park, where many people gathered around. But every time i walked, one by one people started to look at me. Huh? Am I wearing some weird cloths? All I hear only everyone whispering some gibberish language.
No, this is too real to be a dream. or imagination. or illusion. or whatever this unreal things
Then I heard somebody calling me. I turned around. no one. Just the seconds i walked again, a man. No... I don't know who is he. or... what is that... appeared suddenly in front of me.
He wear some what I called 'wanderer' style. He used long robes, a belt with some pouch in it. I can't see his face. He wears a brownish-black long coat and a cape connected to his long cloak with cloths covering his face. I don't know, but i guess he's around 40 or something. His eyes are sharp and strong, yet gloomy and feels like he could beat a whole pack of lion with his glare.
While I still amazed by his looks, he search something inside his long coat. Then without any sound, he gives me a small parcel. It has box shaped, with red wrapping and a seal made of wax.
'What is this?' I asked. He just glare at me and replied, 'your "HAPPINESS". His voice is deep, calm but sound emotionless.
'Huh??' I give a short reply, with confused look.
Then, he turn around and walks away. 'Wait!!' I asked with rather big voice. 'What's the mean-'
Before I finished my question, A strong wind blows, carrying thick dust. I can't see anything, but dust. I closed my eyes. Then I opened my eyes. He's gone. Strange, it's only a few seconds, but he just disappeared, vanished like a thin air. And so the peoples at the park. everybody's gone. even the insects.
'What the...' I asked myself. Feeling a bit insecure, I ran. This creeps me out. Then something strange happen. The parks shatter like a glass. Even the ground and the sky. It looks like a background wallpaper on a glass. I saw the pieces falling and in the small pieces, I saw some reflection, not mine though. It reflects the people I rather know,.my childhood friends, my junior high events, my first crush, my activities, my precious events, and people I know until know.
Then a rather big piece hovered in front of reflects something. It's a woman. She smile, beautifully. I smiled back and felt like I know her. Yea, I knew her. 'You are...' I muttered. But then, the big piece of glass fallen to a pitch black. Pitch Black? I didn't realize everything becomes a darkness. I have to get out of this situation. This dream is not funny anymore. I try to run but I feel that I'm hovering. No ground below me. Suddenly, I feel afraid. my heart beats. Fast. My sweat drops. I never felt this fear or afraid.
'Stay calm, Keoz' I whispered to myself. I think of something. Then search something inside my jacket. Heh. Right. I brought my cigarette in my dream. I look at the parcel that the wanderer gave me before. I still hold it in my left hand. Good. This crappy parcel. I put in my left pocket. I'll deal with this later.
I took one of my cigarette, put inside my mouth and lights it. Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale. Phew. cigarette calm me a bit. Then I realized. The smoke. It didn't vanished. Looks like it was a vacuum space. Great. Physics law doesn't works here. I don't die of suffocation.
I throw my cigarette. Strangely, it doesn't dim and die. It hovered in front of me. The remaining fire glow strong. strong enough to light around me. Oh great. This is what I need. I caught the cigarette I threw before. This will be my guide in darkness, but it rather useless. the darkness seems too wide.
'Think, Keoz. It's a vacuum space. maybe swimming helps me moving'. I muttered to myself. I swim. Hey it works. I feel my body moving. Guided with my cigarette, I swam. To where? anywhere that could get me out of here.
I swam for... How long I've been swimming??? Maybe hours, I don't know. My hands and legs tired. Very tired. I wanna sleep for a while. I close my eyes. I don't care. if I have to die here, then die. Then I feel i lost my consciousness. 'Very funny, I dream in my sleep...' That's my last thought before I really lost my consciousness.

'...When you lose something you can't replace... ....tears stream, down your... ...lights will guide you home, and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you'. Funny, I heard coldplay in my dream.
'...Cold and frosty morning there's... ....I don't wanna be there when you... ...Don't go away. Say what you say, say that you'd stay...' Now I heard Oasis song. What the hell??? The world of dream and reality all messed up??
I slowly open my eyes, but... I feel light shined. I open my eyes. Wider. And I don't believe my sight.
I'm in a plain. with grass everywhere and mountains on the horizon. Suddenly I heard somebody whispered, "Rise and shine... Mr Freeman, rise and smell the ground...". Hey I've heard this phrase before. "Who are YOU!!" I yelled. "SHOW YOURSELF!!" I yelled again. I walked backwards, trying to tracked if something showed up. Then I hit something behind me.
I turned back and saw the wanderer who gave me the parcel. Shocked, I fall down and crawling. Then my hand touched something. A sword. A sword? why this thing laid down here? Ah who cares? I grabbed the sword and stand up. Point it to the wanderer. "WHO ARE YOU??" I yelled again. "ANSWER!!" I yelled again. Weird, I never yelled to a stranger before. Never had the courage. But this situation makes me creepy and yelled to cover my fear.
"Relax..." He replied. He came towards me. Slowly but with a deep step. He touched the tip of the sword and the sword melted. I felt like I was petrified. With extreme fear. He took something inside his robe again. But now he took out two pills. Blue and red, then he said "You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." Fuck. I know this phrase VERY well. I took the blue pills. I want this nightmare ended, SOON. Then he said "Good choice. I know from the very beginning you will took that pill". I ate that pill. I swallowed, hoped this will ended soon, very soon.
After I swallowed, a black hole appeared below me, and I sucked down. I shocked and try to grab something. But everything was also sucked, except the man. I heard he spoke "Goodbye, your time is not now. We'll meet again, MY CHILD". I sucked down, deeper, deeper, deeper. Then my body changed position, from standing to sleeping position, but it still a darkness. Then I stopped falling. I almost cried when I fall to the darkness again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!" I scream loudly. Then something happened. AGAIN.
The darkness gone. It vanished and the image next thing I know is a room. I know who's room is this. MY ROOM. I wake up. HEY. I WAKE UP! THANKS GOD! I thought I'll be trapped forever. I called my brother. No answer. Heh, he's already gone to work, I think. Or gone to his girlfriend's house. Nah, don't care. My parents also gone to work.
Then I checked my phone. 12.30. JEZUZ CHRIST!! I overslept! I skipped my class... Oh well...

I stunned for couples of second, thinking the dream i had. Then I came out of my room, took a bottle of water. I'm sweaty and I think I scream when I slept. My throat felt... dried...
Since I skipped my class, and it's no use to came to campus. So, I turned my computer on and open my blog, to wrote down all my dream, but...
I forgot most of them... I only remember a parcel, glasses and the plain of grass. What the hell?
I tried to remember hard. But I can't make a connection these things.
Then I remembered something. It's an article about dreams. It said, "Dreams get blurred and more blurred overtime after a person wakes up and eventually they only remembered 10% of their dreams after 15 minutes."
"Ah, fuck. I swear that was a very EPIC dream..." I cursed. "Ok, forget those dream" I said and then I check my facebook.
Dreams are dream...
