“You are the hope you are my epiphany. When dreams are eaten you are my sanctuary. Hush the monsters with kindness. Dreams for them, vanish in the darkness. I starve to convey your appetite. My soul is light and sets fire with bite” We are hugged tightly by a little girl with unkempt, black and wild braids tangled like spiderwebs on a pillow.

Embraced by a star-patterned blanket. She sleeps. Peacefully like she is witnessing true miracles in her dreams. We are able to dive into her dreams as she invites us. A silent invitation for her plushy friend (which we are). A sudden light, enchanted by colors which are unable to be named but only described as an incredible emotion of hope and magic. We listen to silence which is telling more than words could convey. Suddenly, little voices surround us. Low whispers from different directions. Mystical promises you can’t really decipher, yet familiar. We notice it’s the voice of Imber the little black-haired girl. She seems to be talking in a foreign language we are unable to understand. Imber seems to be talking to someone, yet receives no answers. Misty fog fades slowly away like clouds retreating with the wind. Our sight clears up. Our breath is taken away by what our button eyes are witnessing. Not as in beauty, but as in fear.

A grotesque and humongous creature. With teeth as big as a giants head, ready to tear your head off your body. As sharp as a sword slicing a rock in half. Buckled back as if the teeth are too heavy for its body to carry. Skin patched up in various tones of black. Eyes covered with a dirty bandage as if it would make him less terrifying. Might as well have covered its famished body skin helplessly covering its displayed ribs and spine of its torso carried by abnormally long, skinny legs. A monster. Imber runs towards it. Us dancing to the rhythm of her steps. Jumping up and down. We look at Imber. We are carried by her in her arms. She seems calm and sympathetic. She looks comfortable as she was in the safest place she could ever have been. They are friends. As we notice letters fade in our view and we are able to read what is said. Not only that but we can read a story. The story of Imber and the Dreameater.

“Dreameaters are creatures which nourish themselves by blessed human dreams. They only eat the pleasant and whimsical ones and humans are left in despair and nightmares.” We read and fade away into another memory. We can see a Dreameater isolating itself from others of its kind. “One of the Dreameaters decided to challenge its fate, to helplessly break the law of its nature by not eating blessed human dreams, called Lux Anima.” We see Dreameater bandaging its eyes. “It covered its sight to not see, hence not to eat. Blind but heart open, golden and good as a Lux Anima itself.” We follow Dreameater in darkness sucked in a tube-like black hole stopping abruptly as we see Dreameater famished and crumbled in a bottom pit. “He famished to punish his desire and natural instinct. Abandoned by its kind.” The scene fades into a comfortable light slowly caressing us out of misery. We find ourselves in galactic light in blue fading to pink and violet on a sparkling planet where we sit next to Imber who climbs on a flying Orca. Smiling. Looking at us with warm happy eyes inviting us to join. We see the Orca float past planets, solar systems and space rays landing on a foreign planet. Imber carries us on her shoulders.

We can see an abandoned planet. Dark. It has no sun. No moon. Not anything. But a monster. Dreameater. We don’t remember this memory. But it's Imber who shares it with us. “One day. A strange fortune encountered the lonely Dreameater coming close to his demise. Luck was embodied as a human child. She worried about that Monster. She didn’t flinch, neither feared. Children’s souls have a unique curiosity which suffocates angst against a miserable, injured creature. She senses friendliness.

So does he.” We see Imber looking up to the giant Dreameater. “ Dreameater shared its agony with that young child. She experienced sympathy and was willing to feed the monster with her Lux Anima.” The scene fades with misty, light clouds and we encounter how Dreameater takes his bandages off exposing a hole. A pitch-black hole where the eyes were supposed to be. Sucking the environment around us in until there was nothing left but nothing. “So it came that she shared her Lux Anima monster over days, weeks, years. Time is not a construct here.

There is only time when there is beings slaved to routine.” We fade in several memories of Dreameater and Imber as Imber sits on his shoulders handing him caramel pandas which grew on trees. Dreameater joyfully eats as he was happy to have a friend willing to share dreams with him. But he didn’t see the consequences coming.” We find ourselves in bed again with Imber. She looks pale. As if her whole soul left her body.

The letters appear again even in reality. Is this reality? “ The child has no Lux Anima in her body left. As she gave it all away and fell into despair herself. Thus she was a vessel with no soul and died.” With the last spark in her eyes. A sad smile appeared on her face softly and full of love. Imber closes her eyes and won’t open them again. We are pulled in Dreameaters memories. Since he will take care of us now. “Dreameater learned what loss of a loved one is. No Lux Anima of her was as worthy as her whole self. So instead of living further in agony and in static memories he decided to share it with all the children of the world. After nothing was left in his body. He didn’t die, he became human.”

Dreameater shoots stars out of his hole eye and spreads pieces of Imbers Lux Anima across the earth.
