Last night I had a surreal, but vivid dream. I was in an other dimension and there were aliens
everywhere. They were short, thin and blue. They were dressed just like humans, but they had
weird hats on their small heads. I noticed that all the people (there were few of them) talked to
those creatures just like they were their close friends. I couldn't believe my eyes until one of the
aliens approached me and asked me kindly: „Dear sir, you seem lost. May I help you, please?” I
was surprised for a moment, but I managed to reply „Where am I?” The blue one looked me
carefully in the eyes, smiled and whispered „Come with me, dear sir. I'll show you everything.”
Although I was still surprised, I managed to follow the alien. We went through a glass door, we
crossed a wide, white hallway and we entered a cosy room with modern armchairs, lots of
cushions and a round, white table in the middle. He asked me politely to sit down and he started
talking… The armchair was so comfortable that I couldn't concentrate on his words. My eyelids
were heavy, my mind was blank and I was feeling dizzy. I don't remember when I fell asleep!
But when I reopened my eyes, I was sitting in my own bed, startled at the vivid memory of the
dream I'd just had.
