Cellar Of Dreams

A Tale Inspired by Tatiana Larina's Dream by Ivan Volkov

Tatiana Larina's Dream by Ivan Volkov,1891

Introduction

This tale was first inspired by the Volkov image, and as I was putting this together, I had put a Silencers album on the player, and the absolutely gorgeous "Cellar Of Dreams" came on, and I knew it was a perfect accompaniment for my story.

This is where I found it in the Enchanted Booklet:

Cellar Of Dreams

At night, she sleeps and slips into her cellar of dreams. She never has nightmares and is one with nature. She has a friend who is a bear, who always cares for her and carries her slumbering form through her dream forest, keeping her safe from anything that might wish her harm.

Her bed is her place of comfort, and from her bed she slips into her cellar of dreams. She knows she cannot stay there always, but each night that is where she always goes.

She does not know the bear's name, but he is her guardian, her protector and always will be.

Tonight she will return to her cellar of dreams, to replenish her spirit after her daily tasks, and she loves to be there so much, safely in the arms of her guardian bear.

    I think we all have some sort of guardian in our lives, but a guardian bear something like a large teddy bear to keep us safe. Great job.

    I love the serene, protective atmosphere you create in this story. The imagery of the cellar of dreams and the guardian bear feels tender and nurturing, almost like a lullaby for the soul.

  • Awww, I wish I had a guardian bear too. Loved your story!

    In a side note, in Donnie Darko, the teacher tells Donnie that “Cellar Door” is the most beautiful word in all English language
