everynight the dream comes, you wake up in an odd place that looks like a giant fortress with different types of pillows and comfortable blankies, acting like protective walls for the structures. you aren't able to walk, your legs won't let you stand up long enough to be able to even try, only to crawl on your hands and knees around the fortress to explore the area, one area leading to differently sized foam blocks, some stacked and some all over the place.
Another area leads to a pit filled with stuffed animals that was waiting to be fallen into, in a room with pillow like walls, like a pool of stuffed fun to choose from and cuddle. the next area was a room with blankets being pitched up over the floor of a giant crinkly, colorful playmat, hung by different colors of yarn.
there were many different area's within the fortress that felt like comfort and safety, and it was all yours to do as you please with, this was your littlest big kingdom that you can play around in without feeling like others are judging you for just being you.
so you play with the stuffed animals from the pit, play with the giant crinkly mat int he room just to hear the sounds it makes that fills the room, wander around the fortress's colorful walls until you end up back where you were again, but feeling a new sense of wonder and curiosity before you crawl up into a giant open crib by stairs. fall onto the comfortable mattress that pads your fall and your eyes slowly close again.
your eyes open to the sound of an alarm clock going off. looking over to see 5:00am in big red color before you reach over to press the button on top to turn the buzz off, it was just a dream. a dream that left a weirdly good fuzzy feeling in your chest, one that you'd like to come back too again.
maybe tomorrow you will.
