The dreamer and THE REALM
The dreamer. That's what the people from THE REALM call me. I mean, it is relevent, because it's true, after all. I'm probably not normal. Well, a good number of us aren't, so I'd say 'different' instead. Every night, when I fall asleep, I end up in what I named THE REALM, which is kind of another world? Like parallel maybe, but everyone can sense that I am not from there and it is mutual, I can feel that I'm not like them. Maybe I have a different aura of something?
The first time it happened, I started to panic. Of course! You get in bed and you wake up in the middle of some securised and isolated hospital bed, with a perception of the world that is altered? No doubt about it, everyone would think something's up.
So I woke up in this bed, wondering 'Where the frick am I?' I remember thinking: 'It's probably a dream', so, not-completely-awaken-me decided that trying to sneak out was the best option. Certainly not.
You could see from a mile away that I wasn't used to look at a big ass green moon.
Somehow, I learnt that I could faint in a dream. So, I woke up again, later, still in the dream, with someone (I couldn't tell at the moment if they were a woman or a man) sitting next to me, telling me to get my act together. So I did. I saw that they had a white jacket (I think?) that nearly touched the ground, worn jeans with a torn on the left side and surely, the oldest shirt I've ever seen in my entire life, the color looked practically faded. I suppose it was the time for questions, so I started asking them, because they seemed willing to give me answers.
"Uh... where am I?"
The person seemed offended, "You're not even gonna ask my name?" they said, "Well, you probably guessed it, you are in a hospital."
Wow. This is the most helpfull thing ever, I would've never guessed. I think they knew what I was thinking, but whatever. I wanted to know, have answers, but I guess I was still a bit sluggish, so they interrupted me- well, not really since I didn't even open my mouth.
"You know, it's been lots of time since we found you, and this is the first time you open your eyes. Other researchers said that you don't see like us, and that if you ever woke up, you'd be pretty lost. Also, probably not the only thing that will be different." The stranger seemed satisfied to talk alone, so I let them and tried to gather the most informations. After a moment of explanations, I did a little recap.
"Okay, so what you are saying, is that I've been found in some weird place, put in a researcher's lab because something felt different about me, then, y'all thought 'this person doesnt seem to have an identity, lets do experiences on them!', the said researcher is you, by the way, and I was monitored for what? 'Lots of time'? Pardon me but this is crazy as balls!" Yeah, I was pretty much losing it at the moment "How, how did I end up here?"
They sighed, but answered patiently "About that, this is related to your blood analysis, I determined that you were not from here," They shifted "and since it looked like your brain was 'being in action' for about every 13 or 14 hours and during half of that time, with this activity happening at night, we concluded that you were appearing here because of dreams"
What? Dreams? Are you fucking kidding me? What is this bullshit?
"What the fuck! I dont even know you, why should I believe what you say?"
The weird-researcher (Yes this is the temporary name I gave them) responded with a total calm "Here, you are 'the dreamer', it became a common surname for you between us coworkers. Dont believe me, if that's what you want, but we'll see each other in approximatively half a day. Also, your time is up, see you tomorrow!"
They were grinning. The last thing I remember is this weird looking person being happy, as if they were a child that won an argument. then I woke up, but for real this time.
I was laying next to my matress, I probably moved in my sleep. 'What was that' was inches away from going out of my mouth. And 'just a dream' was the answer. It's better like that, let's forget it.
It wasn't until the afternon that I realised that I didn't ask for their name. Ahah, am I losing my manners? I didn't even give my own name...
What I didn't know, was that the next time would be as lively as this one, and that it would not be about to end.

Hey so whats up yall who see this, but if you could give it a read maybe? Thats the first thing I ever wrote, I dont even know how to make a proper text, some words are probably false but whatevs! its fine, its just that i think i saw a movie? and a sentence they said in it made me think of the word "dreamer" and thats where it went downhill. i had some impulse and the idea of writing couldnt get outta my head. someone probably already wrote a story on this concept i think, bcause it looks pretty simple... anyways i wrote that like, last week and spent the remaining time convincing myself to post it. well if you appteciate it, tell me! ya can write a comment, reblog or just like i'll be happy enough:)
ah and its just meant to be read as a one shot! i know it really not complete but if it was, where would be the mystery? but yea maybe a sequel i dunno.
