" Mum ! ............ mum ! Open the door mum .....please.  " Seven year old Romilda cried . She had a nightmare and was sleep talking again.  She's had this going on exactly the day she turned five and every single day , it's a fearful dream . " Baby ....... baby ..... open your eyes baby . I'm here . Open your eyes please " . Mrs. Janet , her mother ,  said slightly tapping her in an attempt to wake her up. When her fingers touched her daughter's bare hand , she jolted upwards and embraced her mother tightly . Mrs Janet held her in her arms for a while before realising that Romilda was fast asleep . When she was sure that her daughter was likely not to throw any other fit whilst sleeping , she left to her bedroom. 
               *The Next Morning *
"Mmmhm . What's this heavenly smell that has filled the atmosphere this morning ? " Romilda asked as she descended the stairs and into the kitchen . "This smell has nothing to do with heaven Romilda . Stop the flattery . It's still very early in the morning " , Mrs Janet said with a sweet smile . " Mum ....... I had one of my wierd dreams again. This time I was playing in our front garden and a beautiful lady was there and I felt a sense of familiarity towards her and she led me to another garden inside our front garden and the garden was beautiful . I played with the squirrels and lions and then I took a walk in the garden and I met a nice tree there and I touched it but as soon as I touched it , the tree turned around and it had a face and it bent down to kiss me on the cheek and my veins glowed like they do every month just that this time , it wasn't painful like it is when I have it in real life . Then the lady that I saw held my hand and brought me back to our front garden and there were weird looking things all over the place and you were inside the house but you locked it to stay safe and I kept knocking and kno cking but you didn't open up and that was it ........... the ..end " Romilda narrated . " Wow that is a very scary dream . But did you see your father in the dream ? "Mrs Janet inquired.  "No. I didn't see dad maybe he was at work or something " Romilda laughed . "Who was at work and why are the two most important women in my life gossiping about me ? " came the playful voice of Mr Rico . "Daddy! " Romilda exclaimed and rushed over to her father who was already holding up his arms wide enough for a hug from his little girl . He scooped her off the ground and hugged her before walking towards his wife and kissing her on the lips . "How was work daddy ? " Romilda asked . "Work was boring because you weren't there " , he replied and set his little girl down and walked towards his wife . "Anthing happen while I was away ? " , he asked hoping nothing bad had happened in the house. "Yeah . Milly had one of her nightmares again.  This time it was pretty strange . It had gardens and lions and trees kissing her and so many things" , Mrs  Janet said. "Really ! That sounds rather weird don't you think ", Mr Rico said.  "Yeah .......... now that I think of all this I think it's all pretty weird ", Mrs Janet  agreed.
