When does a person realize that they are dreaming?  For most people, they don't.  It isn't until they awaken that they realize they were dreaming.  That's the way it was for Damien until this specific dream.  How did he know in this case that he was dreaming?  Because he realized he could see!  He had been able to see in every dream he'd ever had.  But for the first time, he knew that in reality, he'd been blind for the last five years.  Every previous dream, he'd taken his sight for granted, unaware that in the real world he was blind.  That made this dream unique.  Which is how he knew it was a dream.<br/><br/>The abyss bothered him somewhat, because the darkness that surrounded him reminded him of the total darkness he lived in when awake.  But he could see his hands and feet, something that he couldn't do if awake.  Then the tall man dressed in black approached him and identified himself as the Dreamwalker.  He told Damien that this dream world was of his creation and that Damien would be in it for as long as he lived, while the Dreamwalker would drain his life energy.  At first, Damien's reaction was entirely different from Fallyn's.  To spend the rest of his life with his sight versus returning to the real world and darkness?  At first, it seemed like a fair trade-off.  It was only after the Dreamwalker disappeared that he began to reconsider the situation.<br/><br/>With the disappearance of the abyss, he found himself in a field of tall grass, with a small hill nearby topped by a large tree.  The sky was a clear blue, the sun was warm.  A pleasant breeze was blowing across the field.  Damien went over and sat under the tree, shaded by it's thick foliage.  This felt like summer.  Not the stifling summer of the city, but a pleasant summer in the country.  The Dreamwalker had indicated that there were other dreamers trapped in his dream world.  Perhaps it would be a good idea to seek them out.  They might have information he'd need to cheat death and foil the Dreamwalker.  But which direction would he have to go in to find those other dreamers?  All he could see was a field of grass in all directions.  Not even another tree in sight.<br/><br/><div style="text-align: center"><script class="js-extraPhrases" type="application/json">
