Running Through Cities That Do Not Exist

I ran through seven cities in a single night — each one real enough to feel beneath my feet, none of them on any map. The roads connected places that should not connect. The signs were in languages I almost understood.

The Night I Dreamed I Was Already Gone

In the dream I was dead — but the interesting part was not the death. It was watching the world continue without me, seeing what persisted and what dissolved, understanding for the first time what I was actually afraid of losing.

The Garden Where Time Runs Backward

In this garden, flowers folded back into buds, rivers ran toward their sources, and I watched autumn become summer become spring. The most peaceful dream I have ever had, and the saddest.

Falling Upward Through a Mirror Sky

Gravity reversed without warning — I fell upward into a sky made of mirrors, each one showing a version of me I did not recognize. A lucid dream about identity, reflection, and the terrifying freedom of not knowing who you are.

A Stranger Who Knew My Name

She was sitting at a table in a café that did not exist, and when I sat down across from her she said my name before I had said anything at all. We talked for what felt like hours. I remember almost nothing of what was said, and yet everything has changed.

The House With Too Many Doors

Every door I opened in that house led to another hallway, another door, another wrong turn. Some places are not meant to be escaped. Some doors are not meant to be opened.

I Flew Over the Forgotten Ocean

Flight dreams are supposed to be about freedom. This one was about something bigger — an ocean no map has ever recorded, and the feeling that some part of me had always known it was there.

The Red Train That Never Stops

For the seventh time this year I dreamed of the red train — the one with no destination, no conductor, no end. Every time I board it, the journey is different. Every time, I cannot get off.

The Glass City at the Edge of Morning

I found myself standing in a city built entirely of glass — towers of prismatic light, roads of frozen crystal, and at the center, a tower that reached beyond the sky into an ocean no one else could see.
