I woke up at three AM panting so I penned my dream to go back to sleep.

I was walking amid a vast forest. I felt so little and I was so afraid. I do not know why. When I just tilted my head, I saw a figure I was not certain what it really was. But I was sure I was heading somewhere everyone probably dreamed of. There was a white crystalline glow that adorned the saw-toothed hills ahead my direction. But it appeared too distant from me. I really wanted to approach it but I felt some fears and insecurities were holding me back. Still, I started to take bigger leaps. I did not know how it happened despite my trembling knees. Then I felt like I was with some companions present. I knew I was not alone in the forest.
At first, I thought it was just my knees trembling but I was so sure the ground was shaking like there were giants around. But no, there could be no giants, I told myself. As I bent my thigh to catch a breath, I realized there were shadows passing me by. Giants?! Oh no…
I was so afraid I might get stumped by them. Giants have a grotesque distorted form of half human and half gorilla. This thought made me more scared. But when I looked up, I saw their faces that did not seem much of something like giants I’ve seen on TV. They had radiant faces that literally glowed. Since I was just too little for them to notice me, I enjoyed staring at each one of them. I took my steadfast small cautious footsteps for them not to notice me. But when they began to run, I also ran as fast as my small feet could allow me. But I was pulled back. I was in slow motion and I was struggling even to crawl. Beads of sweat started to fall from my exhausted body.
However, I was amazed why on earth I was still glad at what happened. So,, I looked up. Then sizzling glares from the giants’ pale brownish eyes met my begging eyes. They looked a lot like manikins with the perfect curves on their faces.
I felt more afraid. I did not know why. I was so afraid to death with all of them and I wondered why they were all staring at me that time. I thought I should shout and give up. But despite the heat of their stares I continued my heavy slow mo steps. Then I saw an expression of “awe” in their faces. Then I just realized I was slowly growing taller and bigger. When I was on their elbow-level, I realized there were some small rays of radiance all over me. I was so amazed. I could not believe what I saw and what I felt that time. I was more than happy but I was sure the chills from the giants were still in some corners in my head.
