“How long have you had these dreams?”

“Two, maybe three years now? It’s hard to keep track when I’m so damn tired all the time!”

“What happens in these dreams?”

“The scenery is always different. One dream I am inside a lighthouse, and the next I am back at school. The only thing that stays the same is The Rainbow Man.”

“Tell me more about this Rainbow Man?”

“He scares me! I always feel his gaze on me, with those rainbow eyes that seem to stare right into my soul. In fact I can feel him watching me now!”

“Why does he scare you?”

“He hides in my dreams, disguising himself as people I know, and taunts me!”

“What does he do?”

“In last night’s dream, I was a child again, sitting on a park bench, eating ice cream with my mother, only it wasn’t really her, it was him! I could tell because her eyes were changing colour everytime she blinked.”

“What happened next?”

“My mother just stared at me with those rainbow eyes. Her mouth began to horribly twist into a mocking grin, revealing horrible shark-like teeth. Then her face began to melt, slowly dripping down her cheeks like hot wax. All the while her eyes flickered with colours.”

“Interesting. Do you remember anything else?”

“That’s the thing, I don’t! The moment I look into those rainbow eyes, I’m unable to look away, it’s like I’m in a trance. I get lost in the rainbow. Then I wake up in a sweat.”

“You get lost in the rainbow?”

“It’s like I’m looking into a whirlpool of colours that is slowly pulling me in. I could feel it draining me! But after that it’s all a blur. Then I wake up.”

“It drains you?”

“Yes. I feel weak, my bones have turned brittle, and as you can clearly see, my complexion is as grey as a corpse! My eyes have sunken, and my teeth fallen out. I’m only twenty five godamn it! The Rainbow Man is slowly killing me!”

“Do you feel like you are dreaming now?”

“No. At least I don’t think so?”

“What’s makes you so certain?”

“He would have revealed himself to me by now. It’s never long before he shows up!”

“There are dreams that can never be woken from.”

“I’m sorry what?”

“Some dreams are eternal!”

“Huh?”

“Dreams are a gateway into other dimensions. Sometimes you go through the wrong door, and then everytime you wake up, you are in another dream.”

“You are not making any sense?”

“What I am saying is, you are stuck in an endless loop of dreams. Which you will never wake from.”

“No, don’t say that, it’s not true! You’re lying!”

“Have you not wondered?”

“What?”

“You really are stupid, aren’t you?”

“Nothing you say makes any sense!”

All the while we have been chatting. Not once have you questioned why I am wearing sunglasses!”
