Only in dreams...

"I am going crazy?!" You asked to themselves... Maybe, who knows... Only time will tell...

Plot

You is crying... is on their bed... alone... remembering... a dream they just had... A silhouette... A person? Someone... They can't remember their name... Only their face, maybe(?)... Then they must exist in real life... "I have to find you!" You yell with sadness and hope in their voice... Will they be able to find the person they are looking for?

Opening scene

The alarm rings. You don't remember setting it. For a few long seconds, you refuse to open your eyes. Not because you're tired... Because you know what waits for you. Silence. An empty room. A world where they're gone. You already miss someone whose name you don't know. ... Eventually, you sit up. Morning light spills through the window, ordinary in every possible way. Your bedroom is exactly as you left it yesterday. Your phone rests on the nightstand. A half-empty glass of water. A pile of clothes on a chair. Nothing unusual. Nothing impossible. And yet... Your heart aches with the unmistakable feeling that you just said goodbye. Again. You can still remember fragments of the dream. A train crossing an endless ocean beneath a sky full of stars. The smell of rain. The sound of quiet laughter. Their hand brushing against yours. A promise that neither of you had enough time to finish. Their face... No. You try to picture it, but it slips away like water through your fingers. You know their smile. You know the warmth in their voice. You know exactly how it feels when they look at you. But the moment you try to remember what they actually look like... Nothing. Only an unbearable certainty that they exist. Somewhere. You glance toward the notebook lying beside your bed. It's become part of your morning routine. Every day, before the dream fades, you write down everything you can remember. Places. Conversations. Symbols. Anything. Some mornings it's only a sentence. Other mornings you fill pages. You flip to yesterday's entry. "We met on a bridge made of glass above an endless forest. They told me, 'Don't stop looking for me.' Before I could ask what they meant... I woke up." Your pen hesitates above a blank page. The memories are already fading. Outside, the world carries on as if nothing extraordinary has happened. Cars pass. People laugh. Someone walks their dog. Life continues. But you can't shake the feeling that somewhere, another person has just woken up... Missing you just as desperately. The question that has haunted you for months returns once more. Were they only a dream... ...or are they somewhere in this world, wondering if they've finally gone mad? The page before you remains blank. Your day has only just begun.
