A real story not a trick. mist forest inside a dream

when I was a kid maby 4 or 5 I got a nice red bunker and i loved sleeping in the top bunk it made me feel like I was someone important

i have a few weird storys in that bed all very short exept this one and please know I believe this to be real and i do want to know if anyone knows anything like this

one night after school and crying my way through homework i had dinner and went to sleep top bunk of my bed I had no siblings so both bunks were mine i just liked the top but i went to bed one night and woke up on wet grass in a forest of heavy mist a fog so thick u could only see maby 5 ish in front of u it also had some sounds i don't remember but I know I was scared of them so i tried so sneak away untill i ran i was there for days wondering if it was a dream or not idk what i ate but ik i ran out of water i slept with a water bottle which i had with me and i ran out only drinking what i could gather from the fog

one day as I was about to give up i found people and they brought me to there home which had little fog it was pretty light and looked like the small village was almost midevil with a mix of ancient abandoned homes which people lived in

when i arrived i met a nice girl a little older than me a sweat asian girl they people had some kind of meeting about me im guessing and so i talked qith and played with the girl i dont remember what other features there was about her nor her name so ill call her aria here since i like the name

after a while it was decided i would stay with aria for now untill I was able to leave which I was fine with for me it was basicly a sleep over but no matter how fun it was fun couldn't stop being home sick i was a child so i ended up breaking down alot missing my mom and dad i dont remember what else i did besides hanging out with aria and helping her parents which i quickly learned they wernt related she called them mamma and papa which I eventually did after a year or so living with them and I started to help out around for them but one weird thing always persisted the rules

the rules i don't remember them all but I remember some it was never venture into the mist alone and never as a kid and never on a wim only when in a appointed group for it of at least 3 people

never question outsiders which didn't mean people like me it means people from another village or at least i think so

no one is worthless if u live here u work as well

and don't keep people more than 3 monthes after they come to the forest

the final rule i listed for me was and is still weird to think about i was there for many years yet the 3 month thing makes little since i was hidden any time outsiders came into the village there was many floor grates usually hidden beneath straw or rubble

i dont remember alot of the live i lived there since i never shared this story for many years but i know i was there when I was in early to mid elementary school and I grew into a late teenager

I am keeping some info quiet incase someone tells me they were there as well because this part of my life ment alot to me and I hope I don't forget anymore

around my final years there I because a known member of the community idk if i ever went into the mist again but ik i did in the end

before the end i was asked to be part of the group that searches the mist and i have no idea if I said yes or no but soon after the outsiders came into town while i and a few others like me were in the open i was shocked and didn't know what to do

the outsiders walked up to me and said something like "oh hey welcome to the forest how long have u been here?"

I remember I said I been in the town for 2 months or maby i said 1 but they already knew from my clothes the original was long gone and I had what today I consider rags on basicly moss green clothes and they weren'put together for fashion so they said i got to leave in the day or they would come back with more people

lucky or unlucky me the people stood up for me and helped me and got the outsiders to leave they said they would be back

the people came to console me and it helped but they had a open meeting just like the day i arived about me but now i get apart of it and aria as well so we all talked about the situation and they let me and aria stay because not just because I became a loved member of the village but aria was my first love as well and she wawasn'like me she was born in the mist world in another village that she got lost from so she was allowed to stay when it came to the rules and plus it was my fate being discussed

during the talk most were in favor of fighting back to let me sray but me and somw others said i should leave yes i said i also said that i was scared of what would happen to aria so I was fine with dieing out in the mist since no one knew if anyone could return to the world without mist but when the day came the outsiders came back with more people and torches along with old weapons and pitchforks funny enough i was told to hide with the helpless the kids elderly and women i stayed with them holding aria i dont remember the whole thing but

I remember aria being taken and me getting grabbed in the chaos by some villagers they pushed me towards the mist and said run now we will find u soon enough

I ran thinking it was helping the village and i was forced to leave my home back into the mist scared I ran and ran then I tripped and fell waking up in my bed as a child again

as a kid i had a natural ability which I kept through ny time in the mist world when i go to sleep i can re enter the same dream if i didnt move so i did and i got back into the mist but i didnt stay sadly. I was the older age again and run back into town but the mist took over most of it and it was kore like a nightmare I saw aria and well im sorry but I don't wish to tell this part it is a little hard I don't wish to remember but i woke up again and re entered again it got worse then I woke again and shifted never have I ever shifted my body when I woke in bed yet I did and I lost the dream everyone at school knew somwthing was wrong they thought i lost someone close like a parent which i basicly did

i was down and depressed for weeks but eventually i got somewhat better and years when by with me trying to forget mmy2nd life and 2nd family and aria no matter how much i loved her and still do yet had no way back

funny enough I was taught in the mist world school stuff so I outsmarted most people sometimes even teachers but still i never knew if the dream was real or not because i slept with a water bottle as i said at the start and it was gone when i woke but the story doesnt end here

years later i end up in middle school and my life ends up pretty bad at home due to my mom and divorce didnt help plus she got with my dad's brother which I didn't like him either i love my dad he is the one good family I had in that house in so my home life without him got bad but one day i wake up and i see heavy mist or fog in my room so heavy i could only see maby less than a food in front of me I couldn't even see my feet and no im not exaggerating i liked it..... but my mom woke me and told me to get ready for school and go to the bus so I did and left home not knowing where im going exept for the sound of the ground I ended up in the road then it happened

I could see a blue glow and a known structure from the mist world and aria's voice very low and hurt i called out telling her im here and she said my name sayings"is that you" i said yet but almost like a bad phone call dropping at the time all I heard from her was "i miss you" then the faint blue disappeared and it was me alone in the mist again I almost fell so i sat down to think and cry then another people from down the road found me and walked with me to the bus stop helping me calm down

I never seen the mist world again im 26 now and I almost never stop thinking about it I wish I could of stayed it was nice I felt loved not just by my adopted family and aria but I loved myself for the one and only time in my life

if anyone knows of any old myths or legends of this please tell me because this ik isnt normal and i miss my life there this is real to me so please dont slander this for being a lie it isnt its the truth
