She picked up a flower and set in her left ear just as a second flower bud grew in place of the first and started to blossom.
    “ So, what do you think? Does the purple flower suit my ear? Does it make me look beautiful?”
    In all honestly, it was the flower that became beautiful as if it was happy to be the lucky chosen one to reside in her left ear. I let down my cool a bit as I shook my head in approval with a calm smile. The cloudy mist that surrounded us would move around and at times engulf us. We arrived to the elevator that was also made of glass; its door opened when we approached it and closed after we entered. For the first time in my life I entered an elevator that had chairs formed from two velvet works of art hanging from the ceiling. We sat on them and the journey downwards began. It was really more like a drop but I did not feel dizzy nor nauseous, just a slight terrifying feeling as I see that ground approaching us fast but that slowed down when we got to the lobby of that building. The lobby was round with a very tall fountain at its center and there were three girls sitting around it, each playing a strange musical instrument that mixed in with the sound of the water that flowing from the fountain. This turned out to be the gentle music that I heard in my room when I woke up earlier.
    The girls looked at me with a shy smile as they clearly got excited with their music as we passed by. Each was flirting with her instrument with passion and gazed at me as if every one of them was playing for me alone. We exited the main gate of the building to find an amazingly white steed, its hear locks were golden braided and decorated with colorful beads, so long that they almost touched the ground.
    “ So would you like to drive or should I?”
    How embarrassing! How on Earth would I control such a beast? My control and experience does not exceed my lifelong partner: the grey Camry! I must allude this situation gracefully:
    “ All of this technology and we end up riding a Stallion? I was expecting a rocket!”
    My maneuver failed! As she called my bluff:
    “First, you need to differentiate between a Stallion and a Mare. Second, do you seriously want a rocket? Your first time out with a girl and you want her to ride a rocket instead of a horse? In any case we do not like to disturb the calmness of the city with machines, and do not be so quick to judge the Mare. Trust me, she will make you forget all about rockets!!” — She added.
    Only to be interrupted, I tried to explain — “Frankly the last time I got on a horse was…”
    “ I know, I know. When your Father used to walk you on the coast line as a little boy and you would ride the midget horse.”
    Damn her! How did she know?! She unbuckled the strap that held the saddle in place and threw the saddle away, then she held on to her locks and jumped with clear skill on to her back, her silk dress did not impede her movement as it was open from both sides, and she pushed out her arm towards me:
    “I do not like saddles! Come on give me your hand! We are late!”
    The Mare ’s back was as high as my eyes, how did such a sweet girl like her jump to its back that easily? I held her arm and jumped behind her, I was so embarrassed and totally not at ease, but when she pulled on the Mare’s locks; she sprung so fast I forgot my embarrassment and went directly to fear, forcing me to hold on to her tightly as her wild copper hear cover my face, we passed with speed next one of the water streams on our right and the gardens to our left just as the sky above us was in her purple dress brocaded with gold.
    If this was a dream, then my subconscious surely deserves an Oscar! When I awake I will reward myself with a long sleep vacation, I would keep my eyes shut the entire time so that this dream would last as long as it possibly can.
    But can a dream have all of these intricate details with such clarity? If this was a lucid dream, can it be so real that reality itself
