The Strange Dream

After chatting for a long time, one by one the couple began to leave school. Sure enough, we were joking without looking at the time, only Me and Ayu were in the front post. Of course the school clerk and the teacher are still inside, it's just that the atmosphere outside is a little cold. We both do extra activities before we go home, it may take a few minutes. That wasn't long.

I sat by the post holding two pairs of shoes, one mine and another pair of women behind me. After giving Ayu the shoes, I tied my own shoelaces and thought to myself "I remember, these shoes are three years old, but still worth wearing". A useless thought.

Grabbing the black jacket on my right shoulder, and putting it on the girl's head next to mine. He looked cold, it was only natural that this was almost 8 pm and the wind was still blowing. It doesn't look like it's going to rain soon, but we better speed up the movement.

I intend to immediately turn on the motor, when walking sounds a typical motorbike, honestly I think it damages the ears but somehow children like it very much with silly things like that. He is Roni, the proud golden boy. He didn't even look at me or Ayu, he just pulled his gas and drove away. No offense, I never interacted with him in the past. Well we used to take part in a race together, although different topics, and it did not make our relationship better.

Positioning the motor, Ayu walked towards me. At first glance she looks very beautiful just walking like that, when conscious was being observed, she turned her face away and grumbled a little. But it made me want to tease her even more.

At least ten minutes and we arrived at the Ayu residence, after parking the motorbike I intend to go home directly by public transportation, of course Ayu's parents were stale so I stopped by for a while. Rejecting it will not be a problem, accepting it will be a matter for me later.

With public transportation to my residence, in night conditions like this only takes a few minutes, as long as this transportation is not too long to find passengers, the journey will be short. Even when getting off the angkot I had to walk down the alley to get home. It's a big city, even midnight will still be seen some people chatting and it includes bustling for the size of midnight.

As I thought, my father was still in front of the house sitting with his friends, I don't know what they were talking about. I just smell cigarettes and coffee. After greeting them and giving my father a reason why I came home late, it was over. I saw that the door on the first floor was closed, like my mother had fallen asleep. I hurried up the stairs and into the room.

After putting everything down, and preparing a schedule for tomorrow then washing the feet. I went to sleep. My body was tired, interacting too much with people made my stamina drastically reduced in a short time. When it reaches its limit, I usually settle the precipitate out of the crowd and look for a place where I can feel solitude.

Although the body feels tired, but my mind still goes somewhere and makes it difficult for me to go to sleep immediately. After forcing her for a long time I felt like I could do it. Seems not. A strange sensation that I have actually experienced several times. It was as if some strange energy had been absorbed into my body and then immediately pulled out along with my consciousness.

Not "Lucid Dream" or something like this is something different. I've tried Lucid Dream several times and some of it worked, but not this one.

When I open my eyes, I don't know where else this is. As usual, I didn't recognize any of these places and my body moved on its own. All I have right now is eye awareness and vision.

When I experience something like this, I will suddenly be in a place I do not know, not only that, my sense of sight and sense of taste are different when I am conscious. Fortunately, this time the place looks normal, just a park, maybe, and looks some strange buildings around it, I'm sure this is not a building in my country or from one of the tribes. An ancient building, although in good condition, but the model seems outdated. It's not good or anything, it's just that I don't think it's in my day that it should be.

This makes more sense than when I woke up suddenly in a strange dimension that was so crazy. I saw the round earth behind me and a big planet coming crashing into my body. Well, it was a dream or a strange experience, and even more strangely a sensation from the dream could not be forgotten and could not be felt when in the conscious world.

My body was walking alone, my consciousness that was carried with this vision was still following. The wind that hit my skin right now, honestly it's impossible to say I'm dreaming, a very different wind sensation that even just a while ago I felt it in school.

This is not the first time I have experienced this and such sensations each time have an increased interval. I used to remember when I first experienced it and gained control of my own body, I could only last under three seconds and in the end I realized like I was having a dream.

In this state, my body was still moving on its own. Little by little I began to feel the sensation of control of my own body. I slightly lowered my vision down, looked at my own palm then let it move because it was easier than having to force my consciousness to come and would instead end this strange 'Dream.

Well as usual, of course, this world is not inhabited by living humans or creatures. Although I now see some human beings, I do not feel any life from them.

In that instant, I thought of a study about the face that appears in dreams is the face recorded by the brain from our real life, he said, but because too many faces are visible and not all of them need to be remembered, awareness of facial memory is stored deep in the brain. The study also said that the face of the person who appears in the dream is derived from the recording of the original human face that we see when in a state of consciousness.

Curiously, I forced my neck to move slightly towards one of them, this forced muscle movement, if I was wrong in doing the momentum then I would soon wake up from sleep as usual. So, in order not to end it quickly, I had to concentrate so as not to force the movement too much, but slowly, slowly.

I began to look at the creature, but it was still not seen whether it was a woman or a man. I myself am not free to move or see, which is why I cannot guess from his posture, movement and vision to move by itself at this time.

Deg...

Deg....

My heartbeats echoed to both ears. I looked at the roof of my own room, my body was a little sweaty and my body temperature was rising. I was thrown out of that weird dream.

Just as I was about to see how the figure of the face of the creature in the strange dream, suddenly the head of the creature moved like it was about to look back at me. Spontaneously I was shocked and forcibly moved the muscles of the body in the dream world too hard, until it was really moving my real body in this real world.

Raising my head from where I lay. My breathing is irregular. Grabbing a cell phone, time here only runs a few minutes since the last time I noticed the clock here. According to my calculations, the time in that strange dreamland was traveling faster than the time in this real world.

I calculated that the last time the clock was 21.22, then estimated how long I was trying to fall asleep and from the start I was able to enter a strange dream, then regain consciousness in the real world and the clock was 21.34. I guess the time I was still walking in that strange dream if coupled with the time I had to force my eyes to shut, I should have woken up more than the current time/hour.

Just stop this possibly useless thought, I drop myself to lie back down. Looks like I can really fall asleep this time.
