The Myth Of A Dream

The first steps into the myth

Page 2

Your body shivers from a cold breeze filling the room. As you hold your arms against the chest, you look down your body. You notice that you're wearing absolutely nothing. That's not strange, since that's how you went to bed. But as you look at the bed and around the bed, you can not find your clothes. Unable to find your clothes anywhere, you desperatly start to look around the room, to find anything you can wear. You see something that looks like clothes, hanging on a wooden hanger attached to the wall left of the bed. You walk towards the wooden hanger and grab the clothes. As you put the brown clothes on, you imagine yourself looking like a tramp. At least you feel a bit warmer. Below the wooden hanger you see things that look like footwear, can't really call it shoes. With the footwear you walk towards the bed. You go sit on the bed and put the footwear on.

"There! I no longer feel cold." You think.

Then, then you keep sitting there for a while, still confused.

It takes a while before anything comes into your head.

"How can this be?" You ask yourself, over and over again.

Many long moments later, after your mind has accepted the new reality, the first thought comes into your head.

"What to do next?"

Two things really get your attention. First of all, you feel that you get hungry, since you missed your breakfast. Secondly, you really want to find out where you are. The need for food becomes bigger and bigger, so you decide to see if you can find something to eat.

"No idea where I am, but let's find out if I can find something to eat in this building."

You stand up and walk towards the only door in the room. You open the door, curious to see where it will lead to. On the other side of the door is a short hall. From the room where you come out of, the hall leads to a door, that you identify as the door towards outside, looking from the opposite side of the hall through the small window in the door.

On the left side of the hall there are two other doors.

"Maybe I can find some food there." You think.

Hungry as you are, you step towards the first of the two left doors. You open the door and look at what's behind it. What you see is that it's another bedroom, very similar to the room where you came out of. Quickly you look around the room, but there is no food or anything eatable to find. So, you step out of the room towards the other door on the left side of the hall. You open that door to see what's behind it. As you step into the room, you see a fireplace in front of the door. At the fireplace are seats and a round table around the fireplace. In the back of the room you see a table with some chairs around it.

"This looks like some sort of prehistoric kitchen," you think, as you remember it from television.

Well, kitchen.. a place where you can prepare food and eat it, can't call it a kitchen. The old wood of the roof and the walls, the table and everything.. it really looks like you stepped into the prehistoric Era.

Still asking yourself how this is all possible, you walk around the room to see if there is something eatable to find. You look everywhere, below the table, near the fireplace, in every corner of the room, but even though this is a place where you can eat.. you find no food, absolutely nothing. The hunger stays and gets worse every moment. Again looking in all the three rooms of the house, but no result, no food. You end up sitting at the table in the room with the fireplace.

"What now?"

"Will have to see if I can find something to eat outside the house, the building."

You stand up and walk towards the door that leads to outside. Standing at the door towards outside, you look through the window in the door. All trees and grass outside.

Then you look at somewhere below the trees of the forest. You close your eyes and open them again. It's still there. You see that the sunlight below the trees is yellow, unnatural mystical yellow. You open the door and step outside. There you turn around looking into all directions. You see that the building where you come out of is an old small lodge. Combining that with your clothes, you get the idea that this is some sort of hunter's lodge, specially because of it's location in the middle of a forest. You walk around the hunter's lodge, not sure what you will find, but you desperately need something to eat. On one side of the house you see a tree stump that can be used to make firewood. On that side of the lodge you see stacks of firewood piled up against the wall. As you don't discover anything eatable, you continue to walk around the lodge, ending up where you started, without anything to eat. Watching a bird that's flying passed the lodge, you think about what to do now. A small sandpath leads from the door of the lodge into the forest.

"I will have to follow that path and maybe I will find something to eat in the forest."

"But where, what.."

Since you have no idea where you are, you have no idea if there will be anything eatable at all in the forest. Though, the hunger gets worse, the only way to stop it is to find something to eat. You will have to enter the forest in search for food. Not long after that, you decide to go. You stand up from the table in the eat room and step outside, to follow the sandpath into the forest.
