I suddenly found myself in an unknown location.. an unknown world.
"What in the.." I could see everything around me at the same time and I seemed to have a 'body' but I couldn't really tell what it was.. above all though, nothing in the world looked even remotely normal.
I saw the world around me as geometric shapes and as something similar to math formulas or code. It was something closer to raw information about the world, but somehow I was able to understand.. most of it.
I could tell I was in a field of grass but I could also see exactly where each blade of grass has ever been, and where it could ever be at the same time. I was able to see its past, present and future all at once.
When I tried to look too far in one direction, either past or future, the amount of information that would fill my mind was too much to possibly imagine. "OWWWW.." I wailed in pain as a huge sum of raw and random information flooded into my head.
-Sh*t.. Ow..- Learning that lesson, I simply tried to view only the 'present'. where each blade of grass, each cell, each atom was at this exact moment.
The entire world froze.. everything stopped flowing, but I could at least look around without getting a massive headache.
-What is this movement though..- As I tried to move around I noticed my movement felt completely unrestricted. -This just feels wrong..-
As I was floating around trying to get a feel for my movement I finally noticed something odd. -There's no gravity..-
But even without gravity, things weren't floaty like you'd expect, instead, everything was very concise, I was able to start and stop moving on a dime. But I had more important matters to address.. -Whatever.. I'm sure it'll be fine..-
I tried to comfort myself by convincing myself everything was normal, even though it was very obviously not.
Floating way into the air I see the world looked nothing like what I knew.. With a simple glance I could see several laws of physics being broken.. the blades of grass in the field below me would mesh with itself in places. -It can't get more confusing, can it?-

After floating for a while I spotted some floating islands in the distance which, wasn't super shocking since I already got reincarnated into a world with dragons but.. -It's moving..- Everything that was around me, down to the atom, was frozen but the floating islands in front of me flowed like normal.
The floating islands had 'trees' and 'bushes' on them, each with a completely indescribable shape and color. As if that wasn't enough, what should have been the flat top of the island was faced towards the ground.
Finally getting within a few kilometers of the island I noticed there was 'something' leaning up against the tree.
-It looks humanoid at least..- After thinking for a moment I decided. -I should just keep my distance since I have no idea what is even happening.. I don't need to piss off some unknown creature on top of that.- With that thought, I floated down towards the ground, away from the floating island.
-Wow I'm actually pretty fast..- It was oddly nice to not have momentum, I was moving as if I had no mass and had perfect control over my movement. I could move however I wished. Even if I was moving at 1000kph I could stop in an instant.
As I reached the ground I noticed the creature on the island moved..
It was a 'woman' with jet black hair in a bright red dress looking right at me.. smiling at me...
She looked beautiful but everything in my 'body' was screaming 'That 'thing' is DANGEROUS'.
I stopped my movements and froze, completely focused on that monster in the form of a woman until 'it' vanished..
"Y̵̘̓̋o̵͈̰̯͂̈́͗̀ų̶̞̄͆̿̃ ̶̲̣͑̑͐̂f̴͔͓̏e̸͍̭̜͒̓͒̚ė̶̘͓̗̍̕l̸̨͉͉͝ ̷̨̹̂f̸̢̯̒͝a̶͈͔̝̪͂̒m̴̨͇͙̱̊̓̈͝i̸̙͇͋͗͑ͅͅl̸͚̠͓̾͑́į̸̧̰͆̍̄a̵̘̩̱͗͝ŕ̶̩̬̟" A mature female 'voice,' if it could even be called that, resounded through my body as the 'woman' appeared next to me.
I was completely unable to move.. I was simply frozen, but I managed to let out a few words in a very shaky voice "wh.. where am I..."
"o̴̙̎̽h̷̺́̕ ̷̢͍̐y̷̟̰̌̏ö̵̱́ụ̶͘͘ ̶̨̣̈́̌d̴̨̂̉o̷̼͂̀ṅ̷̡͚t̵̡̤̊ ̷̺̻̐́k̷̡̛͙͛ǹ̷̖̭o̴̺̓ẁ̸̖̣̂?̸̗̍͒" I somehow managed to understand 'don't know?' from the chaos of sounds I had never heard before.
I tried to shake my head even though I didn't really have one, before responding "n.. no..."
"ö̵͖ȟ̷͉ ̸̳̾t̶͌͜h̷̟͒i̵̖͝s̵̛̙.̶͙̊.̴͖̾ ̶̺̌t̴̯͘c̷͚̈́ḩ̶̕ ̷̱͐y̷̺͘o̵͜͠u̶͓̎r̵̻͠e̶̜̕ ̵̠͌o̷̞̽ǘ̴̻t̸̓͜ ̷̜̚o̷͕͂f̵̣̀ ̸̧́t̷̙̒i̵͎͑m̷͔̅e̸̫̊"
-I'm out of wha..- Before I could finish my thought 'it' said something I managed to understand entirely.

"Se̵e̶ ̵y̷o̷u̸ ̸n̶e̷x̴t̸ ̶t̸i̸m̸e̷ ̶c̵u̶t̶i̵e̸"
A wave of fear filled my body -Huh?!- 'It' waved with a smile before everything returned to black..
Floating in a completely dark space, I was finally able to catch my breath and sort through my thoughts. -Ignoring that.. thing.. for a moment.. what was that world..- Considering the various possibilities, I thought back to the tesseract. -Wait the tesseract gave the same feeling that the whole world just gave me.. was that the 4th dimension?-
Thinking back to the complicated theories I learned about in college.. too many things lined up for that to not be the 4th dimension..
Arriving at the impossible answer, I simply couldn't think of any other possibility.. too many dots connected for it to be anything else. -That would explain why physics didn't apply and why something as principle as gravity wasn't there..-
The nail in the coffin to that theory was the fact that I could 'see' time.
-But how could I.. a 3rd dimensional being.. comprehend that... I could see the past present and future of whatever I looked at..-
-That was the 4th dimension.. the dimension of time.. It's not possible.. but it's the only moderately logical answer.-
Finally arriving at the impossible conclusion I took a deep breath and tried to wrap my head around it for a second.. my head started to hurt more and more as I tried to reason through the event,
After calming down a bit, I started thinking about the 'woman' I saw.
As soon as I did though, a chill went down my spine so I decided to just forget about it, but I was interrupted by a completely foreign childish female voice.
"Mom, Bwother is up!"
Hearing the voice, I jolted awake.
With a cold sweat I looked around the room. -Everything is.. normal..-
I was finally back in the normal world but there was a glaring problem. -Why am I so much bigger?-
I was around 6 meters tall and I looked down to see that a small white dragon was sitting on the ground looking up at me.
It was around 2.5 meters tall but she looked just like mother. -Is this, Krystallo? Why is she so big now.. and why am I bigger?- (She was around 35cm or so before the dragon sleep)
"Big Bwother is awake!" A huge childish smile appeared on her face as she ran up and hugged me.
I looked over towards Mother and saw her with an out of place, awkward smile, but I had far too much anxiety at the moment to think anything of it.
Seeing the difference in things in the room and remembering what happened before the 'dream', I pieced together what happened. "Mother, how long was my sleep?"
Worry appeared on her face as she responded.. "It's been a year and 2 months.."
I couldn't hold myself back from yelling, "WHAT?!?!" my voice boomed throughout the room, no longer as childish (he still sounds like a kid, just not a newborn) as it was before, which scared Krystallo who was hugging me. Worried she might misunderstand something, I quickly tried to comfort her. "Sorry Krystallo.." I used a soft voice and lowered my head to rub my cheek against hers.
Luckily, a smile slowly returned to her face so I could finally look back towards mother.
But mother wasn't smiling.
She was walking towards me slowly.. holding back tears..
As she lowered her head by mine, she laid down and whispered. "Thank you.. thank you for waking up.." Finally letting her pent up tears flow, she started crying. [2]
Feeling truly awful for causing her so much worry and stress, I tried my best to comfort her, but it was truly bad timing. "I'm sorry for making you worry Mother.."
My mind was in a knot after the dream so I simply let her lean against me and cry, trying to give her a chance to let it all out.
Looking down though I saw Krystallo starting to get emotional as well. -Uh oh..-
"Whaaaaaaa.." I reached out to embrace her as she ran up to me, doing my best to comfort both of them.
But even with all of the things that needed my attention, a dangerous thought still loomed in my mind. -Was that really just a dream...-
