I don't hold too strongly to dreams and most times when I dream, I wake up to the fumes of the dream fading away. I try to catch it but there is difficulty in remembering such surreal scenes.

A dream that I have never forgotten was a dream in which I heard a man calling out to a girl. The name was not one I had heard before, the accent was also wrong; it wasn't nigerian. There was so much pain in the words; "Riley!" that I shudder when I think of it.

Someone with terrible bass ran a commentary as this woman's name was being called. I could not see any faces. It was as if I was listening to a broadcast from a private radio channel.

I tried to see faces but the fog never cleared. The last thing I heard was a woman's voice whispering 'please don't let me go' or something similar, I can't remember now. Then I woke up.

Till date, I can't fathom that dream. It is weirdest I have had. I had to write a poem based on the dream to keep the memory for posterity.

When I woke up from that dream, the television was on, so I don't know, maybe the ongoing television show filtered into my subconscious?

That is my submission. I dont know if it counts though. Peace.
