At first it seemed to be a dream;
a blinding eye coiffed in black.
My first thought: they’re back.
Stalked peer of metallic goon
is more than holo in my sleep
as a scream begins to creep up
the back of my paralyzed throat.
This is my second offering for Bjorn’s prompt word for dVerse Quadrille Monday. It’s based on a dream “flash” I had awhile back. The image is my attempt to show what it looked like. The center of it was as bright as the sun and couldn’t be looked into.

Definitely intriguing! 😊

Ah the frightening dream that is so very real one wakes up in a sweat with bedclothes tangled and shallow breath.

I still don’t know what to think about it. I was driving in a car and it looked like a light in the rearview window, but the glow around the edge and the fact that all around it was blackness gave it a more otherworldly aspect.

I love that song.
That image could get under your skin for sure. But as I think I said before, it’s a great piece of art. (K)

I don’t know why but when you described the dream…a title of the Twilight Zone came to my mind…The Midnight Sun…I guess because of the black and the bright light in the mirror.

A part of it did remind me of it plus the name is perfect.

From what I have observed about dreams is that anything in the waking world can be dream fodder, and the messages that can’t come through in words in dreams wait for the right image to come along in waking to pull into dreams.

Thanks, David! You do know your body does become paralyzed in sleep? Otherwise we’d be sleepwalking all over the place and get hurt.
