One school day, a boy named Tom was sitting in class and doing math. It was six more minutes until after school. As he was doing his homework, something caught his eye.

His desk was next to the window, and he turned and looked to the grass outside. It looked like a picture. When school was over, he ran to the spot where he saw it. He ran fast so that no one else could grab it.

He picked it up and smiled. It had a picture of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She had a dress with tights on and red shoes, and her hand was formed into a peace sign.

She was so beautiful he wanted to meet her, so he ran all over the school and asked everyone if they knew her or have ever seen her before. But everyone he asked said "No." He was devastated.

When he was home, he asked his older sister if she knew the girl, but unfortunately she also said "No." It was very late, so Tom walked up the stairs, placed the picture on his bedside table and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night Tom was awakened by a tap on his window. It was like a nail tapping. He got scared. After the tapping he heard a giggle. He saw a shadow near his window, so he got out of his bed, walked toward his window, opened it up and followed the giggling. By the time he reached it, it was gone.

The next day again he asked his neighbors if they knew her. Everybody said, "Sorry, no." When his mother came home he even asked her if she knew her. She said "No." He went to his room, placed the picture on his desk and fell asleep.

Once again he was awakened by a tapping. He took the picture and followed the giggling. He walked across the road, when suddenly he got hit by a car. He was dead with the picture in his hand.

The driver got out of the car and tried to help him, but it was too late. Suddenly he saw the picture and picked it up.

Did you ever have an imaginary friend as a child? Chances are, everyone has at some point. Chances are, yours was forgotten long ago, to wither away with the rest of your childhood as more important matters came along. You began socializing. You found real friends.

Now imagine this. Your only friend in the whole world has completely forgotten you existed. They were your world. They were all you had. You can't speak to anyone else. You're completely alone, and you are to remain that way until you die; an empty, lonely shell of the individual you once were. 

Sadly, this is the reality that many poor, trapped souls face each day of their lives. 

They are the Dreamwakers.

In the process of reincarnation, sometimes things become... complicated. Sometimes, a soul can be trapped in between a reincarnation, with nowhere to go. This may occur when a large group of people die in a short period of time. As a result, there are less bodies than there are souls, and they have nowhere to go. They are forced to share a body with someone else. 

More particularly, their mind.

A Dreamwaker is seen as an imaginary friend. Everything they do and say is imagined by the person who "invented" them. They can look like whatever they choose them to look like, and be whatever species they choose them to be. This leaves the human to believe that they are nothing more than a thought. However, this sense of control is false. The illusion is created due to the fact that a Dreamwaker essentially becomes a part of the human's own mind. These Dreamwakers- they are basically imaginary friends with souls.

A Dreamwaker can be injured, just like any other person. However, they cannot die on their own. They are forced to live with whatever pain comes to them. The only way a Dreamwaker can die is when their human dies, thus freeing their soul from their imagination.

This is especially difficult when they are forgotten. Since they are so similar to mere imaginary friends, many people toss them aside. They grow up. They forget all about them, and the Dreamwaker is forced to live out their days in solitude.

If a Dreamwaker is alone, they may feel angry or betrayed. They will try to gain your attention. Sadly, once forgotten, it is rare for them to return. As a result, their loneliness gets the best of them. They can only die if their human does- so, as a last resort, many of these abandoned souls will lash out. They will try their best to drive you mad, and they will not stop until you either die or remember them. They will turn you into a killer. They will make you turn to suicide. Anything to break you. Those voices in some people's heads? Chances are, it could be a Dreamwaker, calling out to them, trying to ruin them.

Many people will hold onto their imaginary friends for much longer of a time. Did you ever have an imaginary friend? Try to remember. There may just be someone who is missing you. If they are a Dreamwaker, you will know it. You will feel it. They never lie. Trust yourself; save yourself. You could be friends once more. 

You can once again make conversation. You can once again make memories. You can once again do favors for them.

Kind of like how I asked Sarah to type this for me. Now, one more person out there knows our story.
