The Compass of Dreams

Hey everyone, just found out about this website, and here is my first post !

Last night was an unusual dream I ever had. It all started when I woke up in a beautiful forest full of sun rays. The scent in the air was so pure with the mixture of pine and earth after rain. As soon as I got up, I saw an ancient fancy compass by my side. Its needle kept revolving at high speed until it indicated eastwards. I took it up and surprisingly heard a low soft voice saying “Follow me”.

This made me curious and a bit thrilled so; decided to follow the compass along my way which made the environment come alive step by step. The trees seemed to be moving away from me because they knew that I was coming while tiny glowing beings were flying across leaving trails of light behind them. After some time, there appeared a river with water that glimmered like something unreal. A narrow bridge covered with moss went across it tempting me to continue forward.

However, once on the other side everything changed completely- towering mushrooms stood on the ground having caps as wide as tables with their stalks shining dimly.The air was filled with the sound of unseen instruments, playing a melody that tugged at my heart, making me feel nostalgic for a place I’d never been.

On my way, I found an old owl that was seated on the branch of a tree. This creature spoke in puzzles and after a few words with me, its riddle was solved. A root of a giant tree concealed the secret path underneath it. Climbing down into the gloomy pit, a cavern full of glittering crystals lay before me; the walls were reflecting light and producing impressive arrays of colors.

The compass directed me through tunnels until it led me out into an expansive space where there was a splendid waterfall cascading into liquid silver pool. By chance I found here the hidden door opened by the moonlight reflected in water during full moon nights. So as soon as I pushed it open, I entered another world entirely.

Above me rose high-clouded islands while at its edges stood. These clouds seemed to have been painted in pink and purple colors by sunset sky when sun’s rays disappeared beyond western horizon.

A different kind of birds, such as griffins, unicorns and phoenixes, were the inhabitants of this island. They looked at me through their beautiful eyes. There was an old sprawling tree at the middle of the island which had golden fruit on branches that had heavy weight.

At the foot of that tree I saw a dragon, gleaming like jewels. It cast its wise look on me with tenderness in its eyes and it talked to my soul by spirit sound saying “You are a great traveler!” “Following your compass has brought you here.” “Keep this information.” “It has taken you to the heart of all magic.”

I came to know from it how to keep world’s balance intact and my role that is necessary for it . By following instructions given by dragon , I solved last riddles of compass, needle’s point now heading home.

I woke up in my bed, the dream still vivid in my mind. 

I hope that i have been able to transport you into this eerie world and sufficiently convey my feelings! Have a great day.
