The Tunnel

It took me a long time to fall asleep, but once I did, I could hear an enormous crowd cheering in the distance. It was hard to see anything like I was going down a dark tunnel. The cheering was getting louder so I kept going, and then I felt a torch. I was able to light it by sticking it against the wall. Even with a light the tunnel was dark, but I continued. I came to a fork where it split into four paths. 

The cheers were echoing from the last path, so I followed the sound. After making a few left and right turns, I could see a light in the distance like a few kilometers. The light grew till I realized it was an opening to a flourishing garden. There were millions of flowers of all types everywhere you looked, it was a little overwhelming. After looking around a few times, I felt more comfortable and ready to look for a path through it without damaging flowers. I did pick a few that I liked, just one per each (I believe in letting nature stay beautiful with limited maintenance). 

I came to a dark door as if the door was made of charcoal and black smoke. I know if I open the door, it will lead to somewhere else. I walked around the door, it shrank into nothingness in seconds. The sky turned grey and cloudy like a storm quickly rounded in. Purple and black lightning struck the ground near me, so I ran down the path dropping my flowers in hand. I came to the same door, it was the only cover in sight so I opened it. Then I woke up sweaty and exhausted.
