The man of my dreams.

The whisper.

I woke up, it was 3 am, the dream had changed, I started to cry. I was so afraid, of this lost memory. I got up, and took a shower, I had to wash this horrible feeling of me. I finished showering, and went down to the kitchen, I made breakfast and coffee, when i was finished, it was 5 am, and I decided to walk to work early, so i could go to the bookstore/libary to borrow some books about dreams. I walked through the crowd on the street, I never thought that there would be this many people on the streets at 5 am in the morning, i reached the bookstore/libary, and went in.

''Hey, excuse me? Do you have any books about dreams, and their meaning?''

''Right this way.''

I followed her down the hall, and we stopped at a bookshelf, where the letter D was on.

''Here are all the books we have about dreams.''

''Thank you.''

She walked back to her position. I grabbed two books, which I thought was the two books that made most sense to pick. I walked out the store after borrowing them.

I reached my work place at 7.30 am, my boss was already there, she smiled at me, and went to her office, I sat down at my computer, and before my work day was started, it was over. It was now 3.45 pm and I started to walk home. I was walking in my own thoughts when all of a sudden I heard a whisper.

''Be careful!'' I turned around, but there was no one there, but since I just heard it, he couldn't have gone far. I started to run down the streets, searching for him, looking everywhere for someone who looked familiar or like him. But he was no where to be found. I turned around and started walking home.

When I came up to my house, the lights was on, I walked slowly up to the house, and looked inside the window, there was no one to see. I opend the door, and my whole living room was turn apart, everything was a mess and most things were thrown all over the floor, lke someone been looking for something, I called the police, and 40 minutes later, they arrived, I was sitting in my couch, everything was gone, all my research, everything.

''The door is open!'' They came in.

''Uhm, hey. We have a few questions, if that's okay?''

''Sure.''

''Have you touched anything?''

''No, only the door when I opended, and then I closed it.''

''Okay, do you have any idea of who did this?''

''No, not at all.''

''Okay, well do you know anything we can use to investigate this?''

''Not really.'' I couldn't tell them about my dream, they would just think I was insane.

''Well, do you have place you can stay for the night?''

''Uhm, yeah, sure.'' I didn't know where to go, but I couldn't tell them I haven't got a place, because then they would drag me to the station for the night.

''Okay, goodnight then miss.''

''Goodnight.''

I'd packed a few things for the night, I was going to stay at a friend's house, Jenny was her name, I'd called half my phonebook before I reached her, but she was a good friend from old days, back in high school, she was my best friend. I grabbed my bagpack and went down the stairs, I was halfway down, when i heard a whisper, ''Be careful'', I turned around, to find no one, I was alone in the hall. I ran down the stairs and into the Taxi.

When i arrived at Jenny's house, it was raining, she was waiting at me in the door.

''Hey sweetie, uh come on in, it must have been a long day!''

''Yeah, tell me about it.'' I walked in with her, and sat down my things, took of my jacket, and hung it on the hook in the wall.

''You look tired sweetie.'' Jenny was looking at me with worried eyes.

''Yeah, I am tired, but it's okay, perhaps I should just go to bed.'' I smiled.

''Yeah, sounds like a good idea, but sweetie, why don't you call your workplace and take a day off, you could need some time to relax?'' She looked at me, even more worried than before.

''Uhm, I could use a day off I guess.'' I smiled at her. She has always been there for me, and maybe she is right, I need to relax.

''Goodnight Jenny.'' I hugged her.

''Goodnight Love.''

I went to the bathroom and started getting ready, washing all of my make-up of, I looked down in the zink, and started washing my face, I couldn't open my eyes because it was so wet and my make-up was running down my face. I looked for a towel in blindness, I found something, and dryed my face. I opend my eyes to find that it was not a towel I had dryed my face with, it was someones clothes. I looked up, and there he was, standing there, looking at me. I wanted to scream so badly, but I couldn't, I was just starring at him. I wanted to call Jenny, but I couldn't, I was just standing there, hopeing she would hear my silent scream for help, but of course she wouldn't, she was probably sleeping already.

''Hi.'' He stroke my cheek, I froze.

''Who are you?'' I studdered.

''You can't remember me?'' He looked so sad.

''Well you've been in my dreams, but I don't know you...''

''I just thought that, if I was in your dreams everynight, your memory might come back, and you'd know me again.''

''I feel like i know you, but who are you?''

''I'm a lost memory, I'm someone you know so much, and yet so little. We used to spend everyday together, but one day, you're memory was stolen, and you're were gone forever, I've been following you from a distance, waiting until the time was right, and yet there hasn't come a moment that is right.'' He looked me in the eyes, I saw how dark his eyes were, blue, but dark.

''So you know me, and you followed me, I just don't get it? Do you know anything about my apartment and what happend there today?''

''Nothing useful, I'm afraid. Look we're gonna get your memory back, and you'll remember me, I promise. We can start our adventure again, we could run away, just like when you were a kid and I a young man.'' He smiled.

''I can't just run away, not after everything that happend to day? And what about Jenny, what should I tell her? ''Hey Jenny, I'm gonna run away with a complete stranger!'' Are you out of your mind?!''

''When you put it like that, it sounds insane, I know. I'm no stranger, you have to remember me, nothing is fully forgotton, look into your soul and your heart!''

''Sweetie!? Who are you talking with?'' Jenny was shouting from the hall.

''Uhm, no one, just myself, thinking loud again!'' I shouted back.

''Oh okay, night again!'' She walked away.

''See, that was close, you need to go now!'' I looked at him.

''Okay, but I will return tomorrow, and then you have no choice but to follow me for a day only! That's all I'm asking, give me a day and I'm sure I can convince you that you know me.''

''Okay, okay. Bye.'' He bent down and kissed my cheek.

''Goodnight love.'' He vanished out in the thin air, leaving me wondering about everything he just said.

I went to bed that night, so confused and with so much more knowlegde, than I had this morning... I quikly fell a sleep and I was in my dreams again...
