I used to have the same dream every night. I would open my front door, and run away until I found a field of flowers. Every night it was the same thing except one thing would change every time, the flowers. Sometimes they were daisies. Sometimes they were roses and one time it was even an entire field of sunflowers. However, right as I would get to the beginning of the field I would feel something pulling me back. Away from the field. Almost as if something didn’t want me to enter. Then I would wake up. That’s weird, right?
