I was naked. Why am I always naked? The only time I wish to be naked is when I'm in bed with my lover. I was neither in bed and I have no lover.
No, I was standing in an upside down, u-shaped, hall. Walls of stone, water covering it all, falling like a waterfall, defying gravity by racing along the contours. I looked up, but no wetness brushed by face.
I followed the moving water down towards the ground. Water coated the flagstone floor but my feet remained dried. I stepped forward in wonder, amazed by the phenomenon. I felt my mouth form an "O" when the water rippled in multicolor as a result of my step. Amused, I experimented with my steps, playing the ground like a visual music synthesizer.
My steps led me to the domed room attached to the end of the hall. Like the hall, the floor and walls wept tears. In the middle of the room, laid a glass casket, holding a beautiful young woman. She looked to be in her mid-twenties and for all her beauty appeared to be sleeping. But something in the stillness told me otherwise.
Her long hair was dark brown, curled in ringlets around her pale heart-shaped face. She was clad in a black long dress, something you would see out of the medieval times. Whenever I see women with so much beauty, a wistfulness runs through me. No woman need be that elegant. Why couldn't just a small smidgen of that grace have been bestowed upon me?
Merlin walked up beside me. I turned to him to speak and ask all the burning questions racing in my soul. Where was I, who was this girl, why was I here, is this really a dream, why am I always naked...? But before I could form my first question, he shook his head and placed his finger to his mouth gesturing silence.
I began to stomp my foot in protest and speak anyways when all faded and I found myself bolt upright in my bed. I felt like something had been violently torn from my body. I felt like I had just been chastised for acting like a spoiled child. I dreamed no more, as I fell back asleep, last night.
I Wanna Take you on a Roller Coaster...
I'm really big on "exercise". I have to get some type in everyday, usually I do 30 minutes of something in the morning. This past week, I have been walking outside. It's peaceful walking around before the sun blisters the air, to see the stars overhead and the changing shape of the moon.
As I approached the front of the complex, where the gates are, from the corner of my eye I saw something sparkle in the distance bushes. I stopped to look closer and realized that the sparkle was a set of eyes. And, I vaguely made out the shape of a dog. But then, when the dog moved forward, I started as I wondered if I wasn't mistaken. The "dog" looked very large and more like a wolf. I willed him forward to see its tail. Wolf's tails hang down, dog's tails hang up.
As if he read my mind, he stepped forward and I could see his hanging tail. Well, I was shocked, it is rare indeed for there to be wolves still around my area. He sat back down and just stared at me. It was disconcerting. I turned around and walked the way I had came. I glanced back and the wolf was still looking at me. I walked a little more distances and then glanced back again. The wolf was gone.
I talked to my friend, Bernie, about the lawyer calling me. She agreed to come with me to act as "my muscle" =P I'm really interested to see how that turns out.
All I can say is that the past month has been nothing short of a roll coaster. From my whirlwind meeting with G. To his charming romance. To his heart breaking rejection. To my loving e-stalker. To a plethora of projects at work. To slipping into another world in my dreams. To spotting a wolf. To being called out of the blue by a law firm. Got to wait until the ride is over to see if I enjoyed it.
