Novel & Cerita Dreaming Walking Barefoot

With Jackson back at the building site, I decide to take advantage of the mild weather and go for a short walk. Again, I’m back in denim shorts, another camisole, and bare feet with my hair in a braid. I could go in and slip some shoes on, but this walking in the forest with bare feet thing is something I picked up from Talis, and it’s strangely freeing. If I wasn’t sure Jackson would lose his shit about me shifting during the day, I’d go for a run—public forest or not. But going for a run on public land is so beyond dangerous that I’m not about to risk it.

“Too big…” The image should alarm me. Instead, it follows me into my dreams. --- I’M WALKING down a mountain path, a basket swinging by my side. It’s filled with berries—deep purple and red, their juices staining the woven bottom. I’m wearing something soft and flowing, not a dress but a robe of some kind. The fabric whispers against my legs as I move. This isn’t right. I don’t remember leaving my room. When did I come here? The thought floats away like smoke before I can grasp it.

BACK TO PRESENT Emmanuella finally left me to my own peace and once she left I decided to see if I could get a well deserving rest before someone comes up. I was so lost in thought even though I was fast asleep at the same time that I didn't notice someone tapping me or should I say, I was dreaming that I didn't notice. "My love,my love, why are you sleeping? Wake up" I repeatedly felt someone calling out to me but I didn't budge not until the tapping got worst that I woke up to see a tall fair skinned boy standing beside me with a high afro hair cut. His hands raised up probably getting ready to tap me again.

“I should be barefooted because my shoes will surely wear out if I wear them in this muddy, slippery, and stony road. That is not too much for me to take, even though it is exhausting to walk on foot in a land that is a kilometer away without anyone greeting me or grinning; instead, everyone seems to be staring at me with a smirk.” Since she was a young child due to her dread of heartworms and other alive crawling millipedes on the ground, she has been walking barefoot while maintaining complete control over her Achilles hill. “Maybe they tried to recognize me or they knew who I was but couldn't say hello! ” Ericka enjoys daydreaming about how her suitors, who were also their relatives,” The

I was never one to sleepwalk. How was I able to get past the guards stationed outside the door, go unnoticed through the castle exits, and end up alone in this forest? Something was wrong. First, it was that strange dream, and now I was sleepwalking. The wind was as harsh as it was in my dream. I glanced around, trying to locate an exit from my current spot. I took a step forward and the earth squished under my feet. A hum travelled through the night and my ears perked. Hoping I was heading in the right direction, I walked faster.

He sighed and gestured for the driver to stop the vehicle with a slight flick of his finger. I practically jumped out of the car with my bare feet treading the asphalt road. I had been wearing heels all day and I was officially tired of those ache inflicting beauties. Damien would most definitely disapprove of me walking barefooted but I didn't want to think about it until I had those ice cream cones in my hands. I felt him following behind me and didn't realize how close he actually was until I was lifted off the ground by a strong pair of arms. "Damien!"

It's a comforting lullaby that helps me relax and let go of the worries of the day. As I start to drift deeper into sleep, I have a dream. In the dream, Andrew and I are running through a vast forest, the moonlight casting a silver glow on the trees. We're laughing and playing, completely free and uninhibited. It's a dream of freedom and joy, a dream that feels so real and alive.

“So, Knight Blackwell, how’s the firm?” “Fine. I just went there to check the first quarter report. Boring stuff.” “Hmm.” “Nirvana, can I ask you something?” “Of course, Zarah.” “Do you believe in dreams?” “Um.” I dabbed my lips before answering. “I think it has something to do with our subconsciousness and brain activity. Why?” “Have you had weird dreams lately?” I laughed softly. “Funny you asked. I just had a weird dream last night. I was in the middle of the woods. It was dark and chilly. I was barefooted, and I saw a gray wolf—”

My sidearm was tucked safely in my coat’s pocket; the daggers I concealed in my boots were warming up as I took each step. As I stepped under the forest canopy, the temperature plummeted as though an anchor weighed it down. It was a lot different, walking on foot than it was in my dream. In my vision, each step was as easy as walking in a park. Here, each step needs my utter focus. The forest floor is almost mushy, covered in decaying leaves, wet moss, and snow. My boots slipped a few times. I even had to hold on to a tree trunk for balance.

Every time I had this dream, it felt like a weight was crushing me, suffocating me, making it hard to breathe. In the dream, I'm walking through a desolate landscape, surrounded by nothing but darkness and shadows. Every step I take feels like a struggle, as if I'm wading through quicksand, sinking deeper with each passing moment. I try to run, but my legs feel heavy, as if they're weighed down by anchors. I'm trying to escape, but I don't know what I'm running from.
