• She awoke to her alarm blazing that familiar annoying sound into her inner ear. Because of the nature of her dream she woke slowly, trying to spend just a few more seconds in her wonderland her mind had created for the night. After a few brief moments she opened her tired eyes with a sigh to see the same old lavender colored ceiling paint she'd always had. At that very moment she wished to be back asleep, back in that world that was different each night, where her choices never mattered and she had no regrets. She considered getting up and getting ready for the days activities but thought better of it and stayed in bed. As she lay there, she let her eyes drift back closed so as to view her dream once more. The second her eylids drifted over her eyes her mind started to work vigorisly to repeat itself. Through her closed eyes she saw many things swirling around, each scene different and never staying too long before being swept up and changed. Colors swam by on their way to places, as if they were late to some important engagement. after a while, the scenes seemed to repeat the same things over and over, painful memories and hopes she had for the future. Happiness, sadness and ager at herself and others. All these things mixed together into a swirl of colors until there was barly a distinction between one piece and the next. As her breathing and heartrate slowed she smiled a bit, not even thinking of the fact that minutes were passing by and being wasted on just a few simple moments of a dream.Try as she might, she could not seem to get the same situation as she had seen before, and her memory of her beloved dream she had wanted to see again so badly had deminished. So she shook her head and felt her momentary happiness melt away into the darkness, along with the mixed group of colors and scenes her mind had created. To keep from drifing off again she sat up and opened her eyes wide, facing the real world in all of its horrid and depressing glory. Now with a sad feeling settling deep into her chest where it would remain, she sighed and braced herself to face the day.
