miedo

Fear of falling in my dream.

Competing in a dance program. The judges were some very serious capybaras. I don't know how to dance, not even rice pudding. My partner was a clumsy flamingo. We attempted a tango, a disaster. We fell, the flamingo tied himself in a knot. The capybaras were shaking their heads. Eliminated. I woke up with secondhand embarrassment.

I found a universal remote. I pointed it at the TV, it changed the channel. I pointed it at the dog, it barked like a cat. I pointed it at my annoying neighbor, he started talking slowly. It was fun for a while. I accidentally pointed it at the moon and it went out. All dark. Panic. I tried to turn it back on, but the remote had no batteries. I woke up in the dark.

exploring an abandoned house with friends, straight out of a horror movie. dust everywhere, cobwebs. we found an old trunk. upon opening it, instead of gold, colorful paper scraps came out and circus music started playing. we were all like, "what the heck?", laughing nervously. a clown came out from behind a curtain offering balloons. we ran out screaming. i woke up laughing, but what a fright.

climbing a staircase made of books. each step a different book. i recognized some. the staircase was infinite, reaching to the sky. i looked down, vertigo. i kept climbing, out of curiosity. i woke up before reaching the top

playing hide-and-seek in a giant cheese maze. it smelled strong. i hid behind a piece of parmesan. i heard the seeker, it was a huge rat with sneakers. he found me easily because of the smell. i ran through gruyère tunnels, slipped on a brie. the rat was laughing. i woke up craving cheese.
