IS IT A DREAM OR REALITY?

CHAPTER ONE

                                   

      It was dark, everything was black, and I couldn't recognize where I was, I started walking then running until I saw the top of a building, it was a castle, it was very high and almost touched the clouds, I started to run toward that castle, and with each step I took I could feel that my legs get slower and slower, then after miles and miles the picture started to become a bit clear, there was a big wall around the castle it seemed old like it was there for centuries ago and it was covered by overgrown leaves, I reached the door of that castle, a big door with two parts, it was made of wooden, I looked like a little rock in front of that door, there were words written on the top of the door I couldn't read them until I moved away from the door a bit, and because they were written in reverse they required me many attempts to get them.

The words say as follows:
     "Only those with pure hearts will be able to enter.  Knock on the door three times.
If the door opens, start to run.
Do not trust anyone inside.
You don't know what awaits you inside.
Follow your heart, it is your way to safety.
You won't be able to survive outside these walls, fight to reach the castle".

Then I followed the instructions and knocked on that huge door, I was not sure if my heart was pure or not, but I just wanted to get rid of that scary, empty, dark desert  I wished that somewhere within those walls would be safe, also I did not want to die there, so getting to that castle was my only choice and the better one.
The door began to open very slowly, and the sand was falling from the cracks on it, when it completely opened, I saw another door inside, but that one was very smaller, and inside the small door, there were many passages surrounded by ancient massive walls, I realized I was inside a maze, I started to walk and the passages started to change, I stopped walking, they stopped changing too, it was like a game or a puzzle, then I heard a voice, voice of a woman, she was calling me by my name, I thought that there was no one inside the maze, I thought that I was alone, that voice began to become harsh and harsh,  it was coming from up, I began running and that voice became to be harsher and harsher...
"Rechal...  Rachel...  Rachel..." I thought she was the maze ruler, but actually, she was my Mother!
Come on. Wake up!
Did you pass out?
It's not sleep at all.
Get up girl, you'll be late for work" Mom says.
I jump off my bed, with my eyes close and my hair covering my entire face, and say "What time is it?"
"It is 03:30 PM," Mom says
" Mom I'm late..., I'm very late... Marc that angry boss won't stop yelling  again !!" I say.
"I've been calling you for ages, I thought you died, or maybe you had a sexy dream that you couldn't wake up from, is he the new boy from work? Tell me, am I right?" Mom says, she loves to make fun of me in situations like this.
"Mom for the sake of God, stop, it's not time for joking"
Mom replies "Hh... Okay, okay, then fast dress up, and come eat something before leaving"
I dress up as fast as I can, it takes me 10 minutes and it takes another 5 minutes to eat, now it's about 03:50, and I'm still waiting for the bus which is not used to be late.
The bus is here, I get on the bus, and because just a few people were waiting for this bus that's why it doesn't take too much time to leave the station, which is kind of to my advantage.
While I'm on the bus, I remember that weird dream that I had before, it brings me a sort of uncomfortable feeling, it was scary to die, I remember how my heart was beating fast and my body was frozen inside that horrifying walls, but...
What if that dream was true?
What if I had to live something like that in my real life?
What if I wake up someday in a place such as that one without even one clue?
What I will do?
If I have to make a decision, what decision I will make?...
