Marigold Dream

Waking up to a cloudy day, mom yelling WAKE UP! Not the best Tuesday to wake up to. As I walked to the bathroom to get ready to start my day, I couldn’t shake off the strange dream, I had last night. I can say, I smelled the flowers on the field like in the dream while in the bathroom, as it felt so real. I knew no one would believe me. They would think, I had gone mad.

After I finished up and began my walk to school, I suddenly got a sense of disavow. There it was the road. The road I saw in my dream. No, I told myself. I have really gone mad. I just couldn’t resist, it was the path that would lead me to happiness, like my dream. As I stood by the crossroads pondering, if I should continue to school or venture into the road, I gave in.

I felt like my thoughts were pulling me in. I was drawn and curious. I walked the path straight into the field of marigold flowers. This can not be, as I told myself and tried to convince myself it was a dream. There was the old cabin in the middle that was so welcoming and soothing. I will not lie, as I felt like staying forever in the field and home. When I suddenly got the feeling, I was being watched and began to run back. Suddenly, bumping into an invisible glass.

I was trapped. Trapped in a dimension, I couldn’t explain. I began to panic. Asking myself why, why did I chose to follow the path to the marigolds? Suddenly, I begin to hear ambulance sirens and EMT personnel. I had been run over by a vehicle on my way to school. Listening helplessly, I heard the paramedics trying to resuscitate me back to life. When I suddenly heard one mumble he’s died. I still could not believe it, as I wanted to open my eye and yell, I’M ALIVE. However, I couldn’t, I was dead. So why can I hear what is going on?

Suddenly, I realize I am not alone by the marigold flower field. Standing next to me was a strange creature. “You are now home, where your heart lays. Come, follow me”, the creature stated. For some reason, I did feel at home and at peace. I followed him into the cabin where he quickly vanished. A new family was waiting for me to come and feast. A new life or reincarnation, I can not say. But I chose to live a happier life in my marigold dream.
