Stories about dreams always seem to make sense. But look at them. Do they? Events twist and turn, the world falls apart and rebuilds, and we rarely ever realize is until we've woken up. A dream is merely a reflection of our day, of our lives and of our deepest thoughts. The following is a text painting of a more realistic dream, originally written to build a story fo a high school orchestra piece.

Burden And Beyond
Preface Sometimes, our dreams represent what we went through during the day. Some might argue that it is our brains way of filing all the new information every night from the twelve hours spent prior to sleeping. Sleep would be something that if we didn't experience it every day, something incredibly terrifying. Our body shuts off, processing and storing, like a machine. Our dreams are something that are mostly insignificant. But with some people, they mean something and tell us something, perhaps even warn us. Most of us with this insight ignore it, but I couldn't.Complete

Dreamwalkers
I'd always had the dreams. The feelings. As if I was never alone. I got used to the random touch on my back or the light whisper in my ear. But after my birthday, strange things started to happen. Well, more strange. My dreams were quickly becoming nightmares and my reality was becoming more and more of a dream.Complete
Death's Scars
Death lingers and revolves in a natural form, a residual being who can see your dreams, nightmares and if it so wishes the common daydreams of mortals. Dreams spill into nightmares so easily that the shift can spur the unknown. What creates the bridge between thought and conciousness? Death is meaning and silence. The mortal path always leads to the same end. Overlapping and intermingling infinitely till life meets death. Though in some instances it's not as simple as that. What kind of life can one lead when death is around every corner? Glimpses into the past, present, and even the future are all tied to death. Can you outrun death even when it licks at your very heels? Who will it take next?Complete
Awakening to Reality
A novella about the struggle to recognize what is real and what is just a mere dream. Are you awake while you are reading this or is this all just a very detailed dream? Perhaps what you see as a dream is real and what you see as the real world is a nightmare or a dream if you are among the few lucky ones.Complete
THE FEAR
What is true fear? Is it the darkness that swallows you, or the truth you cannot comprehend? In a world where the boundaries between reality and nightmare dissolve, Gabriel finds himself trapped in merciless chaos, ruled by entities older than time itself. Every step he takes unravels a piece of the truth he has been running from-a truth that strips him of meaning, hope, and any sense of security. In the depths of the void, where willpower fades and souls are torn apart, Gabriel stands on the edge of collapse, forced to face the eternal question: Is there salvation in a world made of fear itself? The Fear is not just a horror story; it is a journey into the heart of darkness, where despair is the only truth, and madness may be the only salvation. If you are a fan of psychological horror, nihilism, and existential nightmares, prepare to dive into the depths of true fear.
A Devil's Love
I stare at a small river with dark water, not far away from the place where I'm currently laying. Ugh, I wouldn't drink that in my worst nightmares... I realise this thought is ironic, because I am in fact in a nightmare. But this nightmare is real. It's everything except a dream.Complete![Hallucinate | The Sandman [1]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/318860705-256-k23114.jpg)
