It's all just a dream!

I had a dream I lived in a world filled with fear. We were led to believe that our world was not a living being. A dark veil surrounded us with despair... The darkness was the cloud of black magic created by invisible sorcerers who filled our heads with lies. They made us believe it was okay to tap into Gaiya's very veins. Like vampires we sucked the blood out of her, drilling holes and creating intricate machines to suck her dry. And then we used machines that burned her blood using heat, and that hapless ignorant ritual gave us power over land and air and sea. We did not know we were being tricked into believing it was the only way to exist. But as this blood turned to ash, it spread across the sky and sucked the air out of our own lungs. It was the price we paid for what we believed to be personal power. And we still did it for years and years. And we we forgot how to listen to Gaiya. We did not hear her screams. We ignored her as she trembled and sent storms to tell us what we did.

And then one day nature took its course. Fire destroyed one of the machines as it drilled into her vein, and her blood spewed out endlessly, and turned the seas black. And we still didn't hear her call. I woke up in a sweat and went to the sink to wash my face. I looked around at my surroundings and realized nothing had changed from the dream. I was somehow trapped in that dark illusion. I banged at the mirror and begged for it to open up a portal through which I could escape. And then I cried myself to sleep hoping that when I awoke, the dream would be over. I went to sleep remembering what it had been before I was trapped here in this nightmare illusion. And my dreams then turned to that... An ancient memory of what we really are. We are stewards of this precious life called Gaiya. We are not the careless black sorcerers we were tricked into being. It's all just a dream. It's all just a dream. Wake up! Wake up!
