Ever since I 9cb6b6209a was a child, bbe2a1375f I often had 419e97ec78 strange dreams. Dreams that left me 4a4ea0e36d feeling unsettled upon waking, 23836e61e1 vividly unfolding moments that 5067256489 were far from pleasant.51032970d25ff690

It was 7b11f69b13 the same 1d423d090d even after e6c96f398c I grew c0e75c96d0 up.

In this dream, I 622714f8ca was standing still on 616b7cdfbb grayish-white tiles, heading somewhere.
