train dream               
     
                                       
                                         
                                         
                                          
                (situation)               
                                          
 you  find  yourself  in  a   rift  -   a 
  clearing, narrow but immeasurably long. 
 to  your sides are walls  made of trees, 
 thick and ready to  swallow you. the sun 
 is  nowhere  to be seen,  but nontheless 
 it is very  bright - the air feels light 
            blue, almost white.           
                                          
 along the span of  the  clearing lay two 
    parallel silvery lines, dark hard     
 metal.  somehow  you can  see  how heavy 
                 they are.                
                                          
 they   emit  a  high   pitched  whine... 
                                          
                                         
                                     
                                         
                                          
                (situation)               
                                          
 youre  at   the  train station,   on   a 
 catwalk above the  rails.  your train is 
 late,  or  you  are  late to  the train. 
 it's a  summer afternoon and the station 
 is busy,  full  of  relaxed  confidence. 
                                          
 you're in  high  spirits, although a bit 
 stressed  about the  time,  while moving 
 up  the  stairs  to  your  platform. the 
 station  is  in   several  levels,   all 
      placed within eachother by some     
     intelligent designer, and full of    
      stairs, elevators, shortcuts,       
 bazaars... you  sight your train through 
 some glass  windows.  it's...  not where 
           it's supposed to be?           
                                          
                                         
                                     
                                         
                                          
                (situation)               
                                          
 you're  finally entering the city. while 
 it  is  indeed a very  high speed  train 
 you're traveling  in,  the  journey  has 
 been  long.  but  it's  about  to   end! 
                                          
 society  is  growing denser  around you, 
 through the windows you see first  small 
 shacks,  built of  metal and stone, then 
 proper houses with  mortar  to keep them 
 together...  who  in  turn make  way for 
   the industrial buildings, the urban    
      maze, protective walls, jungle      
                network...                
                                          
 the  tracks leave  the ground, which  is 
 needed  for  other   purposes.  you  are 
  carried gently, curving upwards until   
 you're moving upward along  the  wall of 
 a building. it's made  of slabby  stone, 
     with great glassless window holes    
 looking out  the way  you  came.  it  is 
            pitch black inside.
