"I woke up in the dream because I could hear wings hitting the window. A small brown bird was trapped inside my bedroom, flying from the curtains to the ceiling and back again. I kept trying to open the window, but the latch was on the wrong side. I was worried I would scare it, so I moved slowly and talked to it like it could understand me. It landed on my desk beside a glass of water. I remember thinking it must be thirsty, even though I don't know why I had a glass there. When I finally opened the window, the bird didn't fly out. It followed me into the hallway instead. The hallway kept getting longer, and every door opened into a different version of my room. Then I was outside in a parking lot, holding the bird in both hands. It wasn't struggling anymore. It just sat there quietly while people walked past us. I tried to let it go, but my hands wouldn't open. A woman in a yellow coat told me I had to wait until it was ready. I asked what I was waiting for, but she had already disappeared. The bird lifted its head, and suddenly I was sitting on a bus with an empty seat beside me. I woke up before the bus moved. For some reason, I felt calm. "
