I had a dream!

. . . not like the M.L.King's "I had a dream" . . . but a dream nonetheless. A frightening yet comforting dream. For in this dream I was lost, in time and space (quite possibly a result of all the Doctor Who I've been watching), but lost in a place I know not of, and in a time that doesn't quite exist. I was lost in a sea of restless tides, ebbing and flowing, sometimes warm, but mostly cold and sad.

I'm lost in this sea of 'Nothingness', in the middle of nowhere, with no one around. Not a star in the sky, not a light on the horizon, not a boat in sight. Nothing! 

I'm left to wade these dark, cold, restless waters. Forced to listen to the ramblings of my thoughts, the pining of my soul for something more. But here in these dark troubled waters, lies Nothing but me!

While this is all frightening, the idea of not knowing where you are, where to go, and what to do, what's more frightening still is the prospect that I'm here, all alone, left behind, forgotten. But as I strain my eyes against the darkness all around me, I can hear the frantic breathing of other souls left to wade these waters alone. Alas, I'm not really alone! This brings some comfort regardless how dire the situation may seem. There are people here, in the same sea as me, in this empty, dark, cold, and lonely place. And they are as lost as I am.

How did we get here? Where is here? How do we leave? How do we survive? 

I am lost! 

Without a shadow of a doubt! 

I have no idea what I'm doing, where I'm going, or how to do anything! And while this frightens the 'daylights' out of me, I am comforted by the fact that there are people, all over the world, who are right here with me.

PS: If you know someone in this exact position, or if you are or have been in this position, just leave me a comment (anything, even a "I know how you feel") would mean the WORLD to me right now! Just so I'd know, this is not just some idle thought but that I am really NOT alone!

Thank you!
