Send a ‘💤’ to take a peek at a dream my muse might have!
She was locked in a large, spacious library. This would normally be a good thing that she would love to have happen, but something about this spacious, marble carved library filled her with dread. Maybe it was the air, the absolute silence, the smell of decay, or how the darkness seemed to follow her from behind, but something about this place put her at unease.
On one of the reading chairs was a large book with a black cover, no writing, gold inlaid pages. Immediately, she wanted nothing to do with this book. Something about it called to her, like a siren calling to a sailor. She recognized the danger, but felt compelled to approach. To touch its cold cover, to pick it up and lay it in the crook of her arm and open it. The words were ancient, some of the writing was faded, but she quickly read and whispered it’s contents. Secrets of the universe and beyond, the source of all magic, the meaning of existance.
The knowledge sunk into her brain, and then tried to cloud her vision. She dropped the book and covered her eyes. Her hands felt hot, her feet felt cold, her body ached as though it was turning to stone. What was happening? Why did she feel this needed to happen, that she WANTED it to happen?
She tried to scream and force her eyes open--
--and they did. She was in her bedroom, safely tucked under the covers, a copy of Ten Thousand Uses For Living Heartstone Shards propped open by her leg. A dream. Oh, thank god it was a dream.
