Last Night's Escape~

I always had a string of dreams since I was a small child. I remembered one particular dream that occured when I was around 3 years old. I was a carnival, mother was holding my year-old baby sister. Dad took us there because its fun, and he played games and won toys for me and Kris, I got a Woody the Woodpecker doll, and Kris got a little aqua-green raccoon. Mom and Dad took pictures of us holding and exchanging them during the pictures. I remember that I had sticky fingers that day because my sister and I were fighting over cotton candy and we drooled on them. It was sooo fun, but, something else made that night ominous to the otherwise wonderful family affair... People were crowding over one booth before we--my family--were about to leave, there was a man dressed as a Jester, waving his baton at the crowd, saying something about " '... Magic and Mysteries awaits us all since our birth, why don't you join us this night to the world above..?' " He pulled people from the crowds one-by-one, I was also the first one at the crowd, he pulled me and my father to the crowd, and onto a strange gondola. He then led us down the river--ride was it?--the last words I heard was " '... Join the Light wanderers...' " All I saw was maddening darkness, flying bats, spinning lights, clearing mists, smelling decay, and saw a bearded wizard beaconing at me with his strobe; he wore an obsidian robe, extremely towering, hands like vultures', and his beard--the most prominent feature-- was pure white, starkly contrasting his dark, foreboding appearance... He was carrying a strobe, of a golden globe attached to a glossy black cane. As he beaconed to me, he said " '... You will follow a path of Darkness engulfed with a power of Light... No matter how you try, you will never escape your fate...' " All I remember afterwards, was waking up in my bedroom. I was six years old then, when I looked outside my window, my neighbor was tending her garden and waved at me, the sun was blinding, and I left for first grade like nothing happened at all, maybe it was a dream after all....
