The Dream Where I Knew Everything
The Dream Where I Knew Everything
Last night I was in a library with no walls. Books hovered a few feet off the ground, moving slow like they were drifting in warm water. None of them had titles but I still knew what each one was about. Not from reading. Just from being near them.
I wasn't looking for anything. I was just there.
Someone with the face of a sunflower gave me a cup filled with sand. I drank it without thinking. It tasted like wind and old paper. He didn’t speak. Just nodded toward a hallway shaped like a question. I followed it.
At the end was a room full of clocks. None of them made a sound. One had a bird’s nest inside. Another was leaking wax. I touched the one that had no hands and it felt like a heartbeat under my palm.
That was when I understood.
Not like an answer shouted across a field. More like a memory that finally came back. It was soft and full. It didn’t explain itself. It just stayed.
I woke up with my eyes open. Quiet. Still carrying it.
I can’t put what I learned into words. But it’s there. And I know it now. That’s enough.
