Sup. I don't have much to say here, so I'm just gonna start writing. Peace.

It started off with me waking up in a hospital room. It was clean, and it had kind of a damp feeling to it. There was a window across the bed on the side of the room, and it was clear so I could see out. It looked like it was going to rain, but you couldn't see the sky. It was just a sheet of cloud covering it up. I sat up, and my eyes immediately landed on someone sitting in on  of those chairs they have in hospital rooms. It was a man, who had a suit on. He sat with one leg crossed over the other, and he had a weird gentle feeling about him. The suit he was wearing had mini clocks, gadgets, and hooks on it. He looked like steampunk and the 90's had a child. I don't remember saying anything to him at first, but at some point we started talking. He mentioned something about my parents, and some other stuff that's kind of a blur. At on point I asked why I was there, and he said; "if only there was a reason for everything, the world would be to normal." That's really the only clear thing I remember about this part of the dream. I know it makes no sense whatsoever, but roll with it. If I could change it I would.

I remember getting out of the bed, and stumbling slightly as I did so. The man who was still sitting down told me to be careful, and as he did so he was looking out the window, turned away from me. For some reason this offended me, I honestly don't know why. I left the room, completely barefoot, the only thing I had was the hospital cloak. I walked down the hall, and it was completely empty. I could hear my own footsteps pattering as I stepped down the slick floor. I passed some more hospital rooms, and I'm assuming there were people inside but  I didn't see anyone. I tend to have dreams with little people, usually just none or a few. I continued past the rooms, and at the end of them there was a door with a window at the top. It was small and tented, but I could make out
A more dull looking hallway with the lights flickering through it. I stared at it for a minute, trying to make sense of the situation, before I turned and continued down the hall once more.

I eventually got to some bigger windows, on of which was open.  I walked to one, and leaned out the window. The brisk air was chilly, which is weird because its may. It still looked like rain was coming, and the town below the hospital seemed full of dullness.
I started down at it, before turning my head to the sky. I felt so small, and defeated for some reason I couldn't place. I felt something behind me, and then something over me. The man that was in the hospital room with me put his coat on me. I turned round to face him, and he didn't seem to have much of an expression on his face unlike earlier that day. H had a cane with him this time, it was black and shiny. I remember him telling me to come with him, and some of the conversation that went on while we were walking down the hall.

"Where are we going?" I asked the most obvious question of course.
"Come with me and you'll see," he had a interesting way of actions and speaking, I don't know how to describe it properly. We eventually reached the door I was looking in before, and he opened the door for me. I stepped inside, and started walking down the narrow hallway with him behind me.  I turned back to look at him, almost as if I had a question but I wasn't quite sure what it was. He just cracked a grin and nodded.
I walked a little further, came up to a doorway that was open. I stood, staring at what was in the room. A little girl, that looked exactly like me but younger, maybe about five. There was two other girls, and a little boy. They all had old cloths on, and were playing in the hospital room they were in.  The little boy had a book he was reading to one of the little girls, and the one that looked like me sat in the windowsill, swinging her feet. She smiled. I don't think any of them saw me, which I felt was a good thing, I don't know why. The man that stood behind me put ha hand on my shoulder, breaking me from my trance. He hooked his arm with mine and started walking me back down the hall, out the door, and down the original hall again. "Where are we going now?" I asked, full of confusion. "Back to your room." He stated around the time we got to the room. It was dark now, I don't really know how it happened that quickly.

There was a lamp on in the room, it was in the corner so it was kind of dull. I stopped in the middle of the room, looking at the bed. The guy that was with me took the coat he  had given me off, and hung it on a rack. I looked back at him, (again 😂) and he smiled  as I began walking back to the bed. It had the stereotypical white sheets. I crawled into the bed, and snuggled under the blanked. The man leaned his cane against the wall, and came and sat on the end of the bed. Then he spoke again. "Things will get better Kayla,"
As he spoke he used my name as if he knew me. He acted like he knew things.. it was weird. He offered another smile before moving to the chair beside my bed. It started raining just as I got comfortable and closed my eyes. I could hear the man softly humming, which was calming in a way. I guess I stopped dreaming after that, because that's all I remember.

That was oddly specific I know. Sometimes when I dream I remember it in detail, and sometimes I don't. Well imma go now so bye.
