Somnium

"This can't be happening right now" my mind internally screamed as I felt the familiar yet deafening silence, slowly disconnecting my soul away from my body and my surroundings. I had a thousands of questions as to whether my physical body would be safe while I undergo the "dream" state as I was practically in middle of nowhere trying to locate that one person who could actually give me answers.

I was a normal 23 year old, getting ready for an arranged marriage, similar to all girls from my island. Most girls would have got "married" by 20, and my parents were worried that I was actually delaying the process.

Little did they know that their daughter was meeting a guy every night for the past year.
Oh don't worry, it's not like we're physically meeting. He's my literal dream boy, but the only difference is whatever I sense in the dream feels so real, like that one time when he gave me a rose, and I woke up with one. No one knows about my "dream" state except my best friend and I hope she'll be able to find my physical body amidst the thick canopy of this forest before some hungry wild animal decides to make a feast on it.

Slowly I was pulled into the familiar surroundings of that white castle where I would meet him always.

Even though this was not the best timing ever, and I could potentially be dead in "reality", it didn't stop that electric buzz rung through my veins as I was waiting for his arrival.
