"I don't know how to meditate."
"Aren't you just supposed to like, close your eyes, and like, hum?" Lauren sat indian style, turned her hands palm up and connected her thumbs and index fingers.
Joey laughed at her friend's antics. "Alright, fuck it. I'll give it a shot."
"Now we're talking." Lauren smiled.
Stifling her giggles, Joey also sat indian style, her back straight, and placed her hands in her lap. In her mind's eye she pictured the boy from her dreams, with his blue and white jacket and peculiar shoes, shoes made from the hides of beasts not discovered in any lands known to her, and his fussy brown hair and stunning blue eyes. She shut her eyes and tried to recall her dreams as she had recalled the vision involving Cupid all those years ago.
"Thomas."
A voice spoke from inside her head, and the boy from her dreams gained clarity. His handsome facial features came into focus, illuminated in a glorious golden light. Stone walls surrounded him, and his eyes were full of wonder.
"Your name is Thomas." A girl was speaking to him, and Joey felt a tinge of jealousy as she realized this girl was the object of Thomas' wonderous gaze.
The image wavered, as if threatened by Joey's envy. Joey tried to reel in her emotions, but everything was fading, and within seconds, the image was gone.
"What'd you see?" Lauren was looking at her expectantly.
Joey blinked at her friend, as if awaking from a dream. "His name is Thomas."
"You saw him?"
Joey nodded. "But there was something else. Something right at the end, before everything disappeared."
As the image of her dream boy had faded, the vision had transitioned to an entirely different setting. Emanating from a thickly wooded area, with oaks and maples and beeches living amongst each other in perfect harmony, an area rich with greenery, came that same eerie golden luminescence which had surrounded Thomas in the cave.
"That glowing light was coming from a forest," Joey said dreamily.
But that still wasn't all. This last part Joey kept to herself, but that glowing light had seemed to be calling to her, like a long lost lover.
