elephant dream

last night i was dreaming i was an elephant. i trampled through the jungle and with my long trunk i reached into the tree-tops to pick bundles of the most delicious, juiciest leaves from the highest branches. but when i woke up it was only the bedsheet which i was chewing between my teeth. i wanted to continue my sleep, but somewhere in my long furry tail there was a particular sensation, which was keeping me awake. i hopped out of my bed, ran on the street and jumped into the next tree. then i hopped from tree to tree until i felt tired, climbed to the top of the highest tree and took some rest. there was a sensation of wind blowing into my wings. the wind became stronger and i spread my feathers wide. i was surprised how fast the tree-tops where flying away under me. a range of white snow-covered mountains appeared at the horizon. then the mountains became smaller again, there were some clouds, and in the gap between two clouds i could see the moon flying past. the earth became smaller and smaller. i looked at the sun. also the sun became very small, until it couldn't be seen anymore. there were the stars around me and i was shining between them, one of them. if the nights are clear, look into the sky. perhaps you can see a star which you haven't noticed before.
