The Third Dimension

VI

I lay on my bed completely paralysed. But this is when the 'ordinary' third dimension came to an end. Black fog surrounds me. Suddenly the fog disappears, so does my bedroom.This has never  happened before. It's all unusual.

I realise that this time is very different from what it used to be.I could think, I could comprehend. This time the third dimension feels like reality. More like the strange reality. I move my limbs and I succeed at the same. Everything is black. I walk slowly hoping to find walls. But there aren't any! It's an open ground with a black horizon and a black ground.

I start to feel vulnerable. I was always an introvert who would shut herself in. But this was openness. I felt weak about the fact that this place was open. Suddenly the black room had projections. It was as if my mind had projections within it. In one of those projections, a girl of maybe five or six years of age is hit by a car. Everyone near her rush to help her. She's sent to a hospital.

In a different projection , the same incident in her perspective. She runs to pick a dollar bill in the middle of the road. As she's taken to the hospital, her fingers still clutch the dollar bill tightly. I notice that all the projections are about this girl. Why? I don't even recognise her.

All the projections disappear in a minute. It's all black again. Reality hits me. I'm still in my bedroom but now asleep from the tiredness of the third dimension. Surprisingly, no lucid dream.

I wake up to the annoying sound of my alarm. I brush my teeth and take a shower before slipping on to a baggy denim shirt and a pair of jeans. Everything in the morning was great but the girl from the third dimension was distracting me today. Suddenly I start hearing voices. With all my concentration I try noting down what they say.

"I'll buy the lunch. You stay with her."
"Okay!"

It's a rough male voice and a soft female voice. My mind is the craziest ever! I leave my room to pack my bag and finally leave for school.
