They call me Haalim - the Dreamer. When my parents chose it, they must have imagined a son who would dream of changing the world, building empires, bending destiny to his will. They could not have known that the name would one day feel like a prophecy carved in stone. What they pictured was wrong... and yet, in its own twisted way, destiny made sure the name fit me more perfectly than they could have ever feared. My truth - My name - My curse- is far darker. My dreams are not just dreams. They are an oneiric reality, pressing against mine like a cracked mirror reflecting a world I never asked to see. So vivid they blur sleep and waking, until I cannot trust the clock, the light, or the ground beneath my feet. Every morning feels like the aftershock of a night that refuses to die. My well-wishers fear that part of me. They whisper to doctors, slip pills into my palm, tell me that silence and obedience are the only path to peace. And I obey - because I have a family now, a steady job, and a fragile balance that could shatter at the gentlest touch. But every time I surrender to sleep, she is there... blood on her hands, a smile that doesn't belong to her face. The dream insists she is more than my wife, more than the woman I share my life with, more than I can bear to believe. And the more I fight it, the more the mirror cracks, as if it knows a truth I'm too afraid to face. Some people never choose to be heroes. They live ordinary lives, content to stay nobody, to avoid the chaos of greatness. But life or fate has a way of choosing for them. I am one of them. Haalim, a man with no extraordinary ambitions, a man who wanted nothing more than a quiet life... and yet these dreams refuse to leave me, haunting every night, spilling into every day. I have no choice but to face them, to uncover the truth they are forcing me toward.
