The trees  tower above taller than skyscrapers swaying in the light breeze. Green prickly grass tickles my elbows as I gaze around. I slowly sit up my head spinning as I do I turn my head slowly looking  around there is a meadow on my far right, but the rest was only trees. I can hear water far in the distance. 

I sniff the forest air the fresh open scent filling my lungs. I stand slowly but steadily my head slightly spinning as I do. My bare feet covered in the cold damp dew resting upon the grass. The strong breeze blowing my hair in all directions along with the lose fitting white dress I am wearing. That comes down to barely below my knees. It is tight at the waist but other than that there is little to no shape in it. I focus my attention on the meadow, and begin to walk in its direction. As I get closer I can see wild flowers growing in patches all around in patches as well as smell them. With beautiful butterflies with colorful wings ranging from bright yellow to cool blue flying all around. Visiting flowers only landing for a few seconds. One begins to fly to me its dark blue wings lightly fluttering through the wind. I raise my hand to meet it as it gets closer its tiny legs landing on my extended finger. The others began flying my way swarming me in colors. Landing wherever they could.

The ground shook violently they all jumped off me flying away. The force of it caused me to fall as I fell my head hit the ground. I jolted awake sitting up I gaze around my small dorm room the sun was barely peeking into it giving off very little light. Leaving most of the room bathed in darkness.
