I dreamed that I was walking alone, along a trail through a field. It must've been winter, as there was snow everywhere. I felt the snow crunching under my boots... Despite having thick socks on, my toes were numb with cold. My pants felt tight from the layer of long johns underneath. I could see my breath as I huffed. See the snow topped trees surrounding the field...Then I looked down at my steps to help keep the wind from stinging my eyes.
My arms swung with my steps...."crunch, crunch, crunch"...I could feel the icey sting of the wind as it whipped my face. It picked up snow flakes with each gust and they felt like frozen sand, stinging my cheeks as I pushed on. I could hear it whistling along side the crunching of my steps, and my breathing.
It must've been mid day, as the sky was a gray white. The snow made everything look brighter than it should've been.
I just kept walking through the snow covered field, following the flattened snowy path. There was no one with me, and I didn't know my destination. It felt like I was supposed to be doing this though...like I was headed somewhere important, to me. Headed toward the darkened cover of the woods on the opposite side...I was closing in...
Searing pain shot out from my left lower back, making me wake with a yelp and a whimper....
