You know how no matter how silly your dream might be, it still feels real? It's a funny thing. This time I had a dream where a troll kidnapped my kids. And when I say "troll" I don't mean "internet troll" or "DnD Troll." I mean a good old fashioned troll as told in the myths of my people. A being with great magical powers that needs to be outwitted in a duel where words and contracts are used in an attempt to trap the opponent.
After a very long and trippy dream sequence of me and the troll dueling with our wits I fell victim to an illusion and was nearly trapped inside the trolls lair but was saved by the ghost of my grandfather at the last moment.
After waking up from that and being in that "not quite awake" state where the dreams still feel real, I simply did not dare to fall asleep again on the off chance that I'd be back in the same dream.
