Dream Dreamer
Drifting back to consciousness, opening her eyes,
fear shot through her being.
Where the hell am I?
Must be dreaming.
Blinking rapidly to erase the vision, she re-opened her eyes…
…No! Still the same!
Reaching out with trepidation, she touched the white net-like objects,
her hand slipping right through them.
“Weird” she whimpered.
Feels familiar… yet foreign.
Why?
Always asking why! How about I just sit here, watch a while.
Somehow she felt connected to the fibres.
This is too Star Trek for comfort.
Neurons! They’re my neuron pathways!
“Mum!” “Wake up!”
Startled, opening her eyes.
“Must’ve been lucid dreaming.”
I liked the idea of the prompt as neural nets

Maybe it was the firing of them when confronted with the photo that sparked the idea!

Nothing I like better than lucid dreaming…unless the dreams are scary!

Lucid dreaming. That’s what it’s called? It happens to me sometimes, when I know it’s a dream but I don’t really wake up. Huh. Really good writing, by the way 🙂

You’ve constructed this well, and written it fluently with good variation of pace. The punchline is fun!
