Good. You're asleep at last.

When I first began to become aware of my surroundings, my body laid in the same position I went to bed in. A strange feeling came over me when I could no longer feel my blankets, what once was a bed was now nothing at all. My eyes slowly opened up, only to be welcomed by darkness. When I finally processed where I was, I shot up in a confused state.

What is this? Questions filled my head as I carefully got to my feet. Even though I was in an odd, empty space, I wasn't really alarmed. My dreams sometimes form before my very eyes, I'm sure it's just taking a moment. Getting to my feet, I picked a random direction and started walking. The entire place was silent, not even my footsteps made a sound. I could only hear my breathing as I walked a path that seemed to never end.

Screaming loudly, my body started to plummet down into the darkness, further and further, until light flooded my eyes. Bright, pastel pink covered me, surrounding me in a thick, foggy feeling. Wind whipped across my face as the pink started to clear away into a sky blue.

The shock of the situation and the speed I was falling at made it hard for me to catch my breath. I started to gasp for air and try to compose myself when my gaze shifted quickly over to the sun. The rays weren't blinding me weirdly enough, but the face that was staring back made me panic all over again. Finally, I noticed the end of my fall coming up to me in a flash. In seconds, power surged in my right side. A bang went off in my ears as I fired a large blast of energy at the ground, the force of it flinging me forwards and away from the earth below.

My side hit the ground roughly and shook the inside of my head. I felt my body burn as I rolled down the side of the hill I was on. Thick, tall grass poked against my skin, and finally, everything skid to a halt. I laid there for a moment, every inch of me shaking with pain and surprise. Then I gasped loudly, taking heavy breaths as I came to my senses.

"G-god, fuck!" I cried, slowly rolling over onto my back. I winced and began to examine my aching everything. My left hand had been scraped up and I'm sure bruises would cover my body later, but things could have been worse I decided. That doesn't mean it didn't hurt like hell though.

"I thought you were supposed to wake up before you hit the ground," I grumbled to myself, groaning as I got to my feet. I began to think about the situation I was in, but the more I thought, the more confused I was. How am I feeling this much pain in a dream? Is it because I'm aware of everything? Looking at the sight before me, I was given more questions and no answers.

All around me, vibrant colors painted the land I was in. Looking up, I could pay more attention to the pink clouds in the sky that overlooked rolling hills below. A dense forest stood behind me a couple of miles away, birds in that area chipped loudly with different melodies. What made this place even stranger were the dancing flowers in the ground, the giant lollipops coming up from the grass, and the sun, who was still looking at me with a confused expression.
