Bringing in the dreams


The Spirit of the Cloud looked down as the Sun was setting. Almost formless and not quite solid, only the Spirit’s eyes were visible. But upon where the Spirit’s back would be were what looked like many faces, perhaps dreams being brought in for the night’s entertainment for a random number of selected sleepers in the many homes below.

As the Sun sets, the Spirit’s image fades. The carried faces dissipate into the cooling night’s air, carried this time on the zephyrs of the incoming breeze, to be absorbed into the welcoming thoughts of those who slumber with open minds.

        I have this on CD – It was used as part of a horror movie theme, but I forget which movie! 🙂

        God Bless!

          ‘Halloween’, Prenin (according to Google!) That said, it would be quite fitting with other movies in the genre!

      Along those lines, I would say, Prenin! A gentler version, perhaps?
      And thank you, once again!

    Very calming and surreal … then again, the club scene has yet to fire up! Well done, Tom.

      Hello, Cindy, and welcome! Thank you for calling by.
      It’s rather random around these parts, but I always try for something a little different!

    Our dreams are gifts from the Spirit of the Cloud, who gently sets them on the wind to be carried to us while we sleep! That’s a very lovely thought.

      Hi Halim… thank you!
      Dreams have to come from somewhere… so why not? I know that I couldn’t possibly make some of my dreams up!

    Going to sleep with an open mind would probably result in the best dreams. Nice one, Tom!
