I walked alone through a serene forest. There was nothing living but trees and grass in sight. It was very peaceful, despite being so deafeningly quiet. I soon became a bit lonely, and with a wave of my hand, I quickly summoned my best friend, Serena. At the sight of me, she smiled. "What are you doing around here alone?" She laughed. Even here she had a sense of humor. I rolled my eyes. "Well I can't just sleep, can I?" "Sometimes it's worth not wearing yourself out every night." She scoffed. I turned to her. How many times do I have to explain it?! "It doesn't wear me out. I'm still sleeping! My mind and body are resting, it's just, my unconscious mind is not." "Ha! Well give it a rest then!" I stare at her. "Says you. You are just a figment of my imagination." I smile at her until she can't help but smile back. "That is based on your best friend! Come on." She holds out her hand. It is crazy how realistic she is. "Gosh dangit Serena." I take her hand. I feel a jolt of excitement as I think about what to do. And then I realize my mistake. The world starts to blur and I begin to lose my grasp of my perfect world. How could a make such a beginner's mistake?! Excitement is the first step to waking up when you don't want to. I close my eyes tightly to end it all quickly. Darkness. Silence. I begin to regain consciousness into reality.
