TRAPPED

It’s just another day! simple and serene.. yet so twisted and exhausting. On the surface my life is so calm It was after I fell for a high life . My lucid dreams began,maybe that’s where the trouble started. It’s been three months now. Its a scary thing you know, the ability to tell your dreams apart, hits straight on your subconsience. Today in a dream, I was sitting at the corner of my attic, staring into the void. I see a child swinging merrily, singing as the swing went up in the air, Suddenly I could feel the pain as I fell on to the ground, choking struggling to breathe. I see myself! sleeping eh?, there.. am I dreaming now?its morning already... I shoud be awake by now! why didn’t my alarm ring? I guess it’s not the time to wake up yet… it’s a dream afterall.
I decide to keep dreaming it just feels so good .. I run into my mother.. she’s cooking, what a delight! the next thing I see is a series of events off my routine .. today we are having a day off and we had decided to go for a picinc.. all of us, sitting at the sea shore relaxing! my sister and I are playing with the sand, it was so gay. I knew it was from my past memories because my mother passed three months ago, I could only see faded memories now as if it got into the clouds, I am trying to hold onto it tightly! these were the best moments of my life, now I could only remember what happened yesterday I see myself very stressed, my boss got onto me over a very ridiculously vain thing I could even lose my job, I came home drunk.. my wife couldn’t endure more of my late night errands and not being sober. we had a heated up argument and she left! despite me threatening a suicide, you do that always!! you can never have enough courage to end up, never! she leaves.. I am calling her again and again, she switched off her cell phone. I guess I slept after that. Someone’s knocking on the door and I just can’t wake up I feel so sick and motionless, struggling to wake up ..I stopped dreaming in that moment I woke up and went straight to the door surprised my wife was already inside and mourning for everything yelling and crying only if I could say it’s okay sweetie , we’re fine! I went back to my room and I see myself sleeping calmly, with no scars..just not breathing, Is this a dream too? I go to check the time its 8 am in the morning, like time has not passed . ever since I am scared and sitting on this attic, maybe trapped!!!

Prologue

A man desires to live his end moments with dignity and grace. how he nearly misses out on this desire because he got into something wrong. He could not see it coming! Had he been able to stop it ? What went wrong ? He couldn’t have actually died in a Lucid dream!! its not possible. This story is all about near death experience. here, I’ve gathered some insight from The LRE (life review experience)which is so happens at the time of death. to pay tribute to my friends untimely death and denial ,with lots of condolences.

I contemplate! most of the things I write are not life experiences , but well thought of. I like to dive in unprecedented dimensions as are my write ups! :)
