Dreamt I was going about my business, doing stuff, when there was a sudden crack next to me. A clear barrier I did not know was there but was not surprised to find had been assaulted by an unseen force.
The barrier cracked, leaving glass-like rays hanging in mid air. As I watched, the assailant struck several times again with obvious intention of striking me. The barrier cracked further but held for now. It was clear that eventually the barrier will fall.
I put my hands in my pockets and faced the direction the blows were coming from. I wasn’t afraid of the assailant. I wasn’t afraid at all. I felt like something had been locked away deep inside me for a long time and when the barrier fell, that something was going to come back out and… play.
As cracks in the barrier increased, I found myself smiling in anticipation. The assailant was attempting to reach what it thought was prey. When the barrier falls, so will that assumption. The barrier split, but held. The crack of it was sufficient to crack the dream, ending it.
