It is a chilly day in winter, the sky is blue, birds are flying around and there are plants with pink flowers on them. We are in an old fort and apparently it is in the middle of town. The guy with me is my friend in my dream but in real life I don’t know who he is.
We are busy experiencing the beauty of the place. It looks like a fort with lots of room and walls of stone. I remember talking about ancient architecture and similar places I have visited so far, he seemed to be a quiet person listening to me very patiently.
Suddenly we heard a woman’s voice who was crying and then we saw her running in the fort. Initially we ignored her and started talking again. Then we realized she was coming towards us, her face was familiar but I didn’t recognize it. We got scared and started running and she started following us. When she was about to grab me I started floating in the air. I don’t have any control on my body. I started moving forward as she continued to follow, trying to hold my feet. But somehow I landed on the roof of a nearby house.
Then there was a girl who came out from the house. I guess she is a student with two braids and she’s wearing a white frock. The strange woman turned to the girl, her voice urgent. “Go get your mom! I need to get up on your roof to catch that girl!”
The schoolgirl replied, after looking once at me, “there is no girl on the roof, only a small helpless cockroach!”.
