Never look back

The person before me cries out. I can make out his figure:

It is a man about my age, tall, slender figure, with short black ebony hair. He turns his head and smiles at me. He is wearing a green sweater and blue jeans.

"Are you still with me?"

I nod and can't help but notice what a pretty smile he has.

"Emh, where are we going?", I ask.

"We need to find the door! It's a first for you, I guess? I've been doing this all my life". He replies.

Ok, now I'm confused, "door? What door? I've had nightmares my whole life, but I've never seen a door..."

"Oh my..." He says, rolling his eyes. "Hold my hand, don't let go."

He suddenly starts running faster as the horrible noises behind us get closer and closer. The dark forest we're running through is only lit by moonlight, no stars can be seen, it's quite cold, and suddenly it starts to rain.

"Ok, we're almost there, now JUMP!" He says.

"Wait a minute, what?" I say, just before I stumble.

"How clumsy, how can you be so clumsy even in your dreams?" Says he, laughing.

"HEY!" I glare at him. I can't even say anything more as he suddenly puts me on his shoulders.

"Hold on tight now!" And he jumps. He jumps at least ten feet. It's amazing. I guess we are dreaming after all. As he taps his hands three times in the dark sky, a red door appears and opens.

We climb in and the ominous noises finally disappear.

"Where are we?" I ask.

"Wherever you want to be." He replies. "Close your eyes and think of a place you like".

I do. I think of a quiet winter night in the park near where I lived as a child.

I open my eyes and there I am. It suddenly starts snowing. Everything is perfect down to the last detail - the trees, the benches, the little lake, now frozen over...

"Oooh! Another winter person!" He says in amazement. "I was expecting some exotic, warm place, but here we are, covered in snow!".

"Is that so strange?" I ask.

" Well, it's the first time I've met someone who likes winter as much as I do.". He replies.

Suddenly I realize that this must have all come from my imagination, I mean I "made" him didn't I?

" Yeah, I guess you're me, after all, this is my dream, isn't it?"

He rolls his eyes and says, "If that's what you want to believe, sure. But I'm very real. By the way, that's how you get out of nightmares and make a dream".

He snaps his fingers and a warm blue scarfs appears around my neck. " You can do this too. With a little experience anything is possible when you are dreaming".

For some reason, I suddenly feel very embarrassed. "I've never had a dream before. I only have nightmares," I say.

"You have, you just don't remember. Can I ask you your name before you wake up? I think I hear your alarm clock going off".

"Eh?? Oh!" Suddenly "Round and Round" starts playing very loudly, that's my alarm clock, sure.

"My name is Minha. What's your name?"

"I'm Seo-Joon. Nice to meet you!" Says he while shaking hands. "Will I see you again?". I ask.

But before he can answer, I open my eyes and wake up in my bed.
