I tossed and i turned to the left and to the right.Again and again.
The clock directly staring at me fingers at four twenty-five a.m.
My siblings must have vanished to dreamland.In the stillness of night's sky, i could evidently hear my sister snoring away.
I switched on the side lamp and sat on my bed staring at the ceiling blankly.
With intentions of murdering time, i grabbed a book to read.I couldn't.It was as though i'hv forgotten how to read.Letters were all that i saw.All words appeared foreign.
Was i dreaming? I gave myself a tight slap.No,i wasn't.I could feel the burning sensation on my face.What appeared like a delusion was shockingly reality.

I jumped out of my bed and wandered into the kitchen.Dehydrated, i made myself a drink.
I looked out of the kitchen window.The surrounding was silent.Free from tumult;tranquil.It feels like i'm living in an inhabited and remote land.Everything was unfamiliar.From where i was standing, i could only see two vehicles.A Nissan Sunny 1.6 Ex Saloon and an old Proton Wira.Just these two as ornaments in a quiet neighbourhood.
No wonder God created daytime and night time i thought to myself.Imagine life without the warmth of the sun.Everyday seems peaceful yet depressing at the same time.
Serenity before dawn exudes an aura of calmness.
A perfect escapade into fantasy.No distractions.Nothingness.Just you and the silence.

An opportunity to fantasize i concluded.I drifted away into a state of subconscious activity.I felt in touch with my inner self within minutes.
I imagined myself a free spirit without worries walking in a garden of vast greenery.Trees of all kinds.Flowers of all sorts.Roses,daises,tulips,daffodils and lilies in a variety of colours.Shrubs and bushes were also recognisable.A pretty sight.Like a paradise of my own.As i ventured deeper into the garden, i glimpse upon a sun bird sipping on nectar.A dazzling beauty.
Such bewitching sight.
In front of me was a fountain with crystal clear water. I took a sip from the fountain and felt rejuvenated.I continued on walking and this time, i saw faces.Familiar faces staring directly at me.People that i love with delightful expressions all enjoying a breakfast buffet.A table filled with croissants,muffins,french loaves,scones, puffs,fresh fruits and much more with beverages like fresh orange juice, Arabian coffee and English tea.
A mouth-watering situation.

Suddenly, my sister's hand phone vibrated.The alarm went off.A few minutes to six.
I snapped out of my fantasy unwillingly knowing that it was time to get back on track.Time to take into consideration that the real world can never be such a peachy scene.
My fantasy was over.Reality is where i stand.
Maybe it's hard to leave the ecstatic atmosphere behind but i know i can always return whenever i want to.

Love,
vinTage dreams
