Once upon a time, I dreamed that I was in a dark forest. The trees were so tall and thick that they blocked out most of the moonlight. I could hear strange noises all around me, like growls and whispers. As I walked, I felt as if something was following me. Every time I turned around, there was nothing but the inky blackness. Suddenly, a pair of red eyes appeared in the distance. I started running, but it seemed like the forest was endless. The eyes got closer and closer until I woke up in a cold sweat.
