“Augh, why was the light so bright," was the first thing I remember thinking. It felt like my eyes wanted to remain closed, but I couldn't allow myself to keep them shut; I forced them open. The world was blurry, and I couldn't really make anything out. Strangely, I couldn't focus my eyes. The only thing I could determine was that two animate shapes were moving about.

It was then that I suddenly became aware of... emotions, maybe you would say, maybe thoughts? At any rate, it might have taken me some time to notice they were there at all if not for a dramatic shift in quality. I don't know how to exactly describe it, but I guess essentially, it went from a generally positive type of feeling to a negative feeling.

I noticed that one animate shape quickly enlarged, and suddenly felt something touch my head. That is when I noticed something shift around me. I was being held. Once I realized this, I tried to focus my eyes, but to no avail. I tried to wriggle my body but found that it was mostly impossible. At the same time, I noticed that negative emotions had grown stronger. Now, I was starting to get nervous, but at the same time, I felt the one holding me start to gently stroke my head. It calmed me down, just like the gentle caresses of a loving mother...

Wait a minute! What is going on here?! I had to think... What was it? I thought hard for several moments... Then I remembered.
