In my dream it was very dark, and what dim light there was seemed to be radiating from Edward's skin. I couldn't see his face, just his back as he walked away from me, leaving me in the blackness. No matter how fast I ran, I couldn't catch up to him; no matter how loud I called, he never turned. Troubled, I woke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again for what seemed like a very long time. After that, he was in my dreams nearly every night, but always on the periphery, never within reach.
In the dream described, the narrator experiences a profound darkness, relieved only by the faint light emanating from Edward's skin. As he walks away, the narrator feels a sense of urgency to reach him but is unable to do so, no matter how hard they try. This separation creates a feeling of unease that lingers after waking, disrupting their sleep and causing distress.
The recurring appearances of Edward in the narrator's dreams symbolize an unattainable desire and emotional struggle. Despite his constant presence, he remains just out of reach, emphasizing a deep longing that intensifies the feeling of isolation in the dream. This dynamic highlights the complexities of their relationship and the narrator's emotional state.
