Storyline:
Blue glowing light appears and vanishes into deep darkness like a blink of a flashlight carried by a wanderer lost in a misty swamp. The labyrinth of thoughts forms itself into a spiral with she enters feeling a chilly breath from its solid icy walls. Reality crushes violently into pieces and floats on the waves of imagination. Nothing is tangible, arithmetical or logical as the dream reaches its deepest abstract level. Mind is the prison yet all its limits are blurring fast and fading along with the sense of matter. The flow of creation unleashes its wings opening a gate to a new different dimension.
As she walks in, framing images appear on walls repeating random sequences from the previous parts of the dream and slightly enlighten her way. Yet, her eyes look straight as she moves firmly into the dark green corners of the labyrinth. Projections render before her, but she doesn't slow down even for a moment, passing them through like air. Everything she had experienced made her immune to the haunting influences of the world she explores. One after another the curtains fall before her as she reaches to the core of the helix. There she finds a heavy wooden door that she opens and enters a small empty room with a single window to look through. The chamber is darker than tar, making the edges invisible for the eye, but still, she can sense the close distance between the opposite corners. Her heart beats fast as she steps on to the gray windowpane and touches the glass feeling its warm surface. Suddenly walls disassemble into equilateral triangles spreading to the open space. The window opens, casting a ray of intensive light that completely covers her body. The horizon becomes crystal white as she starts to drift inside an infinite void. The view starts to blur, a spectrum of colors melts within itself creating a fuzzy rainbow that covers everything around her. Images are cast before her eyes displaying projections of peaceful sceneries. She can't tell if they are real fragments of her life or artificial memories created by imagination, but strangely she can once again feel the soft touch of a warm gentle breeze. Slowly she realizes that her very most weakness can be her greatest strength. The darkness turned into light giving shelter to the scared mind. A nightmare came from a dream and the dream came from a nightmare, all what seemed to be indescribable and abstract tuned out to be based on solid logical terms. The terms that she now understands and knows their value. She could've stayed here, never to fear the fate again, sinking in a sea of relaxing motion, but her decision is different from that. She closes her sad eyes and forces her body to vanish beyond the liquid bounds of surrounding projection to enter a gate to another dimension. Disappearing into the unknown...
Black pieces of burned paper fall down like snowflakes from the distant sky as she walks through them to the end of surreal horizon. The bitter sweet taste fulfills her soul, yet she knows the price of the choice she has made. Once again she surrenders to the will of tangible reality, but this time with a gentle smile on her face. All is a hologram that can be shifted to any desired form and even a pitch black sky can be perceived as a hollow sun waiting to blossom once aging. This relativity allows one to see the smallest drop of shining light buried inside a limitless dark space. To seek the beauty of a graphite sky cut in half by a gray sparkling beam. The gate awaits her as she walks towards its heavy doors that are covered with dust from the fallen ashes. Will she ever be able to reconstruct this dream as if it was never disassembled, so that she could explore its deepest corners once more?
She turns back for a moment, gasping at the decomposing creation of imagination as she slowly pulls the iron knob down walking inside...
