I have to write about my dream last night.

It was so......surreal.....that words can't aptly describe it. Even "surreal" isn't appropriate.

I was in Hermione's room. We were being chased by something, or someone. Hunted. She said that we could escape, and there was a large, intricately wrought iron gate in place of a door. Behind it was a beautiful, wide shadowy green pathway. There were small, white flowers that bloomed along the sides, and the grass and vines, so darkly green, that it seemed not of this world. An old woman crossed the pathway.

Then I was in a beautiful garden, dappled with sunlight, grass so green and so incredibly beautiful that it was almost painful. There were large trees, and my arm was hit by a patch of light. I expected to burst into flame, but instead it was pale in the sunlight, and I fell into a patch of wildflowers and the sun was so warm that it was the most beautiful, wonderful feeling.

In my dream I hadn't felt the sun for 200 years.

I can't describe the awesome feeling of the sunlight on my body, or the other worldly beauty of the garden. It was definetly not of this earth.

I saw signposts in the garden next to a quiet road where a solitary red car went by, with a low fence on its sides. On it where directions to a zoo in an almost identical beautiful, shady field on the other side of the road. On the signs it said that in the zoo there were animals that had been extinct for 2,000 years.

In my head I suddenly knew the name of the place - Pandora's Box.

My friends appeared next to me. Tina pointed to the right and said she wanted to see the dolphins. We all went, and we found ourselves in an amusement park. All the rides were free, and there were families that were riding the rides, all laughing and having a good time. We went on the rollar coaster, and it was a little boring, and to get off you had to jump into a net and crawl through a whole on the side. I realized they were kidnapping people who did, and I crawled up to the top, which was like crawling up through a throat, to save them.

A woman saw me, and knew what I was doing, and started the ride. I fell all around the interior as the room shook.

And then I woke up.

But the garden.......it wasn't the most articulate of my entries because there's simply no words. It was a beauty, and the feeling of the sunlight, that cannot be seen or felt in this earth or in this......realm, I guess.

It was incredible.
