Memories From A Not So Distant Past

Strange dreams

I thought the dream was real when I awoke gasping for air and sweating. I saw a beautiful woman, a woman that pressed her soft lips against mine before she parted and ran away. As I turned from her a group of irate me rushed up the steep slope after me. I looked back at that beautiful woman one more time, and her blue eyes met mine.

 I charged towards them and ripped two of them in half before a pitchfork pierced my skin. As I fell to the ground I could hear the woman's voice cry out in pain my name. As i was shaken back to the real world i wondered why I was having these odd dreams. And for some reason all this month it has been about this woman. She wasn't real then why does she seem so importat?

As I woke from that nightmare someone else called my name.

"Ravenna, sweetheart, are you okay?" She said with a concerned look in her face, "Is it the nightmares again?'

I looked into her hazel eyes and nodded. My wife was looking down at me like i was about to have a seisue or some shit like that. I didn't want her to worry about me so I had to think of something to calm her down.

"It's okay Morgana, I'm okay. Go back to bed honey, I wore you out tonight you need rest." She kissed my neck and my cheek. She put her head back on my shoulder. I put my arm around her to reassure her that everything was alright.

I looked at watched my wife as she went to sleep so easily and wished if I could do the same. But this woman, these dreams, and this feeling I had made me question if this was all leading to something more. I tried as hard as I could to get my head wrapped around the subject at hand, but I couldn't.

I began to think harder but I was too tired to think after a very eventful night. I slowly lost consciousness and flashes of this mystery woman started to appear. I felt as if she was calling me to come with her, but she was just a figment of my imagination. Maybe she was a sign of things to come, whatever that sign might be my eyes would not allow me to think about it any longer.   I drifted back to sleep and once again the strange woman was in my dreams.
