What are dreams?

But then parts of rock, small fragments of glass and metal, dirt and grime, and a bunch of coal black sand started to slowly lift themselves up without any force acting upon them. I tried to move away but I was frozen in place unable to move a muscle.

All the dirt and the scraps started to float in the air in a circular motion resembling that of a tornado around me. And the momentum and size of this small tornado started to build up rapidly.

Parts of the sidewalk were being broken off into little pieces and they flew straight into the tornado, getting crushed and turning coal black in the process. The tornado grew and completely enveloped me but I could still see what was happening outside it.

Parts of building were being torn off, the ground around me started to collapse in on itself, people were being pulled in too but the moment they entered the inner part of this vortex of scrap they simply instantly disintegrated into the same black sand circling around me at rapid speeds. It grew and grew and grew until I couldn't see outside anymore, the earth started to violently and quickly collapse around me and was closing in. I couldn't move still except my neck. I started to move it up down left right in circles trying to brake the invisible barrier that binds me but to no avail.

" Hrrr, Grrr, Unbind me! Set me free! Rahh! " Ezra groaned.

There was almost no more ground to stand on and in that instant the tornado collapsed and all that spiraling black sand rushed to my face and down my throat. As well as my body crushing me from all sides and blinding me completely.

And when I opened my eyes everything around me was dark, just as it was when I was falling into that pit. The only thing I saw was pure darkness spreading out into infinity. It was very cold once again and I felt weak once again but my body didn't get crushed or burned. I felt nothing.

Suddenly a female voice echoed through the void of darkness. I couldn't pinpoint where exactly it came from but it was loud and high pitched. She was giggling and chuckling and I could tell that the voice was mocking me but who or what was behind that voice exactly? Hesitantly and slowly, I took a step forward to check if I can still move my body and I can. But when I took a step forward, tiny particles of light shot from the ground under my foot and flew away into the distance. I didn't pay much attention to them since they didn't fly to a certain destination or place, they just shot out and then flew up. I was more focused on understanding the situation I was in.

"Who are you, why have you brought me here?" I yelled out. But I got no response from the female voice and my words faded away into the void. I started walking around and the light shooting out of my steps started to intensify in brightness and travel noticeably faster in the air. It was also becoming my only source of light, not that it revealed anything of interest the particles simply allowed me to see them, their light didn't light the void up it just showed the darkness more clearly. And after a while of walking around aimlessly my body started to feel tired but I didn't stop and kept walking. Weirdly enough, I was starting to feel heavy and out of breath even though I'm used to doing more rigorous exercises throughout the day, as I kept walking my feet went numb, my back arched from exhaustion and I started to breath like a dog.

As I dropped down to catch my breath I heard the female voice again giggling mockingly. Instinctively, I stood up I had pinpointed where it came from which was above me to where the light particles I had been ignoring this whole time were going. And with the last bit of my strength I squatted down and jumped as high as I could but I just couldn't reach.

"Hehehehe, you are weak, indecisive. Your mother died in vain because you didn't do enough." The voice said

" Shut it !!! It wasn't my fault. " Ezra shouted as veins started to appear on his forehead.

"Your father was a weak man just like you."

"Enough of this, get me out!"

"And all of your so called friends were massacred because of your idiocy. Just think of what their families felt that day and imagine their pain knowing that you're a KILLER." The voice continued to toy with Ezra's thought and emotions.

"You bitch I'll kill you!"

Suddenly he felt something touching his back and turned around immediately.

"Hahahaha oh yeah and how do you plan on doing that scrap-boy? Oh I know you can't hurt me, you can't even touch me because you're still weak as you always were." the voice echoed loudly in a mocking and aggrevating tone all throughout the void.

Ezra couldn't take it anymore and finally gave in. "Enough let me out of here! "

"Oh you already want to leave, what a shame." The voice said in a playful voice as if none of what just happened mattered.

Then a loud screech filled the room. Ezra covered his ears but he could still hear it, the most ear destructive sound a human can hear then he felt like the void was shattering into pieces,the dream was collapsing! And Ezra was starting to go crazy.

"Rhr, rhhhr, Rahhhhhh!!!"

He opened his eyes abruptly. Instinctively grabbing his knife to get ready for any potential threats, which has become more or less a reflex for him.

*panting, panting, panting

But when he got up he was wide awake in his bed looking around in confusion realizing it was all a dream. He needed to reflect on what he'd just experienced.
