Nightmare

It feels like a lifetime I have been running around through the various corridors in this building. What I don't understand is how did I end up here and even after trying so many doors I always keep coming back to the same place again and again. Feeling breathless I stopped to catch my breath for a minute. My mind was racing with different scenarios to escape this place but I have tried everything and every possible route but it was all fruitless. "What more can I do? " I thought and the first thought that came to my mind was to let go of my instinct to escape this place. As my breathing came back to normal I calmed myself and for the first time I did what I normally wouldn't. I just sat there staring at the corridor with many doors. I didn't try to run or find a way to get out of there and just waited. It had been no more than 10 minutes I started hearing something. At first it was a faint humm but as I listened intently I could hear someones footsteps. As the voice grew louder, my heart started beating faster thinking who could it be? And just like that he was standing in front of me. I couldn't see him clearly but in that lightly lit corridor I can still make out his features and I could say he was handsome. I thought of speaking first but as soon as I was about to open my mouth he spoke "Finally we met." Before I can ask what did he meant by that statement, he, the corridor and the whole area began to blurr out and before I can realize what was happening I was gasping for my breath. However this time it was in my bed and I had just woken up from my sleep covering in sweat. "What was that?" I had the same strange dream past 1 month and this repeated patterns were now concerning me. It was always the same dream with the same corridors and doors and always me trying to find a way out. However today was different as never ever there was anyone in it beside me. And the remark he made was already starting to bother me. "Why did he say that ? Who was he? Do I know him?" I got up to the kitchen and drank 2 glasses of water to soothe my nerves. It's already 4 am as I watch my clock... " Great!!" I thought, " I am going to be late again tomorrow." I hopped on to my bed again and started counting back from 100 to make myself fall asleep again...Even though my mind was wandering again thinking about that man I pushed the thought aside to try to sleep again. Tomorrow was an important day and I couldn't be late. With that thought I counted down 50, 49, 48, 47...35, 34, 33 ... and slowly I drifted as my eyelids started to feel heavy and I was asleep again.
