Description You’re walking down a long hallway. It’s dark. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You feel along the wall for a light switch but find none. You think you should be scared, but you’re not. You’re anticipating….something. It’s cold. And quiet. You’re all alone. You want to wake up but you can’t. Then you realize: you’re not dreaming. You’re already awake. You continue down the hallway. It’s straight and narrow. Something seems to be drawing you on, pulling you towards the end of the hallway. It’s something intangible but irresistible. You walk a little faster. How much farther is it? You’ve already walked so far. You’re starting to tire. You’re hungry and your throat is dry. How long have you been walking?

You’re ready to give up when you see a door in front of you. It’s a plain, wooden door, nothing extraordinary about it. But somehow you know that door is special. No, not the door, what’s behind it is special.  Somehow you know that what you want most, what you’ve been seeking is behind that door. Your start to run. Sweat breaks out on your forehead. You’re breathing hard, panting. The walls seem to be closing in on you, but you don’t care. You just want to, need to, get to that door and see what’s behind it. You run faster but the door never seems to get any closer. It’s like a nightmare! Your heart feels like it’s about to explode! Then, suddenly, you’re there. You’ve made it. The door is right in front of you. You feel triumphant. You’ve reached your destination.  You look at the door in victory. You reach out towards the doorknob. Your hand trembles in anticipation. You turn the doorknob… it’s locked.

What do you do now? All the excitement and anticipation had drained from your body and you’re left feeling weak. You sink to the floor in defeat. It’s all been for nothing. Or has it? What do you do now? Sit and sulk or get up and find the key that could open the door to your dreams? It’s your choice.
