...[ Gets up from bed and brushes his teeth]...

...Matsuda : There is always a reason behind everything!!! I wonder why I am seeing this dream daily, Is there a reason behind this!! Should I search or think about it, or maybe I am just thinking too much, it's just a dream not a big deal. ...

...[Goes in the kitchen, asks mother for breakfast]...

...Hana (Matsuda's mom) : Good morning, Mat!!! You woke up early today!!! That's great! Did you sleep well? ...

...Matsuda : That one I told you few days ago! A watch, a creepy figure and.... ...

Hana : Oh!! Got it got it.... See Mat, I know getting same dream is kind of weird but it's not a big deal!

...You know what, dreamer's own interpretation is the result of a process within brain based on fundamental predispositions such as pleasure, power, love. You might be thinking too much about that dream and hence you are watching it daily!! ...

...Matsuda : Yes... I think you are right mom! I also felt like I am thinking too much it's nothing weird. Ok mom, I should get ready for school! ...

...Hana : Yeah, alright!! ...

...[Matsuda went to school and during his class lecture he felt a bit weird]...

I don't know why but i am not able to stop myself from thinking about it, That watch, that creepy figure, those tress and forest, they haunt me, I am.. I am getting mad, I think I will go mad. ...

...[Matsuda was immersed in thoughts and suddenly shouts, drawing whole class attention]...

...Matsuda : (shouts while scratching his face) Ah.... WHY CAN'T I JUST STOP THINKING ABOUT IT !!!!!! ...

Teacher : Matsuda, Are you alright, what's wrong????

...Matsuda : Ye.. Yes.. Teacher! Ca.... Can i just go to wa... washroom?? ...

Teacher : Yes!! Make sure to come fast! Ok, so class...

...[Matsuda comes out of class]...

...Matsuda in mind : I am feeling so ashamed, whole class laughed at me!! and all this because of this assh*le dream, I swear if tonight I saw this dream again, then I will...... ...

...[Matsuda returns home from school and directly wents into his room]...

...Matsuda : (tries to sleep) Sometimes sleeping is such a difficult task, maybe I should close my eyes and put on my earphones..... ...

...[After half an hour, Matsuda finally falls asleep]...

...[He again watches a dream but this was a bit different]...

...Matsuda (in dream) : Where am I? Is this a dream? What is this place? I think a house, no, a creepy house with no lights!!!! Should I move, (hears a noise and shockingly turns back) Nothing! It's just a dream Matsuda and you are strong, don't worry! you are strong enough to figure out.. It's the time you should find out!! what's the reason behind these dreams. ...

...[Matsuda gathers the courage and starts moving] ...

...[Wents into a room where he finds a watch]...

...Matsuda : A watch? It's the same watch I used to see in those dreams. (keeps that in pocket). ...

...(Suddenly, hears a voice from the back) ...

...“A HUMAN AGAIN"...

...(Matsuda looks back and he sees a creature whose skin was red due to intense burning and his eyes were total red from anger he was like 7 feet tall with long nalis. Matsuda shivered from the gaze of horror and started running]...

...[The burned creature catches Matsuda and tears his chest, and Matsuda fells unconscious]...

...[Matsuda suddenly wakes up and was thanking God that it was just a dream, suddenly he feels a sharp pain in his chest and when he opens his shirt he notices nail marks on his chest]...

...Matsuda : (shivering) What!! Impossible!! no... it ca.. it can't be true... It wa.. it was just a dream, then th... these marks...... ...

[He remembers keeping watch in his pocket during dream and checks his pocket but founds nothing]

[Feels a bit relaxed and calms himself by thinking that these marks were made by himself during sleeping ]
