'Dream... a Dream'
"What did you dream last night?" asked the man.
"Why do you ask?" replied the woman.
"Well... You had a huge smile on your face. You dream of another Lover?" (The man again)
The woman then recalled her dream, in short order, to her very anxious Lover:
"Well, it wasn't a new Lover that I was dreaming of... I am happy with You...
No, not a person. I dreamed of a world where there was no War...
A world where there is no Violence: between humans, or humans to animals.
I dreamed of a bright and blue world that only knows Peace, Tranquility... Love!"
The man had a quizzical look on his face. Then he piped up:
"But... That is our world of today. Why dream of what already is?"
She suddenly got a look of solemness, and even a shade of Dark... Fear!
"I dream that Dream, because the only other recurring dream I have is of a
world of constant struggles... Wars... Famines... Great Disasters of all kinds.
People fighting people over land and resources. Cruelty to all animals, wild or tame.
A horrible dream that seems all too real, if I entertain it for even a minute. So, that
is why I dream the Dream of our world of Elesia. It keeps me centered and calm."
The man then asked: "In that other dream, the Nightmare, what is that world called?"
She tried to recall the name: "The letters re-arranged nearly spell the word: 'HURT'.
'Urth', is the closest spelling that comes to me. Or 'Erth' maybe?
I shudder to think such a world could exist in this Universe..."
