The Peaceful Vines

I don't remember ever having any nightmares as such, I most likely did have some, but thankfully they are not within my memory. In saying that, this particular dream is not particularly peachy...

To build up the expense, all horror films start with normal circumstances, but gradually build up to a frightening climax or some decide to drop you suddenly into a pit of horror. My Brain the comedian opted for the second option- it has a dark twisted sense of humor and wanted to see me suffer when I was at my most vulnerable.

My dream began in what can be considered a normal circumstance for a dream...There was a door, a mediocre door, yes , nothing special about that door besides it leading to the middle of a cliff face...There was a ledge extended out from the door that appeared to be about three meters long. There was even a sheltered area. Remembering it now, it seems as if a group of stone masons came along with their equipment and took a huge cubic chunk of rock out of the cliff face and after doing so settled for a door which led out to that unnatural place.

That is only the background of the dream, what actually was happening was my adventurous buddies Rebecca and Michelle and myself were putting on gear for rock climbing. I set off first, always being the most irrational out of the three and obviously a disaster occurs as the above horror films description hints.

Fundamentally, the cable was not attached to me, I climbed, nothing was supporting me so - I guess I didn't have floating abilities like Barnaby Brocket because I started falling slowly to my death - it appeared to be a long way down - considering how long it took for me to reach the ground.

It was a peaceful moment, falling - maybe that's how it feels like to free-fall out of a helicopter? I don't know, perhaps it is more exhilarating, heart pounding and whatnot...It was a peaceful, almost blissful, for around me were twirling green vines, subtly pointing down to where I would evidently end up. Also, more importantly there was a gorilla in the distance, through the vines watching my free-fall to the darkness below.
Just before I hit the ground and a big "SPLAT" sound could be amplified between the two cliff faces, I woke up with a "THUD" to the floor. Not as satisfying as hearing her go "SPLAT". It will have to do for today...but not for tomorrow...-Something along the lines of what my Brain was thinking.
