Overcoming Spiritual babies

The dream was a kaleidoscope of muted colours, a soft, hazy landscape where the air itself seemed to hum with an unseen energy. I was floating, not walking, through a meadow dotted with flowers that pulsed with a gentle light. It was peaceful, disturbingly so. Then, a sound. A soft, cooing sound, like a baby’s contented sigh, but deeper, resonant, carrying an echo of something ancient. I tried to pinpoint its source, my ethereal feet barely disturbing the dream-grass. And then I saw them.

Tiny figures, no bigger than my forearm, were scattered across the meadow. They weren’t like earthly babies. Their skin shimmered with an iridescent quality, like the inside of a pearl, and their eyes, large and luminous, held an unnerving wisdom. They giggled, a sound that was both sweet and unsettling, and reached out with impossibly delicate hands. I felt a strange pull, a maternal instinct that warred with a primal fear. These were the spiritual children Sarah had spoken of, the ones that haunted her nightmares. And now, they were here, in my dream.

I remembered Sarah’s trembling voice weeks ago, recounting a recurring vision: a crib in a dimly lit room, a tiny hand beckoning from beneath a blanket, a whispered plea for her to stay. She’d woken up drenched in sweat, her heart hammering against her ribs, feeling a profound sense of loss, yet also, a terrifying obligation. “It’s like… like I abandoned them, Anya,” she’d confessed, her eyes wide with a mixture of guilt and terror. “Like I created them, and then I pushed them away, and now they’re just… waiting.”
