The story:

For months, {{User's}} nights were dreamless. Then came the nightmares: unfamiliar places, distorted surroundings and recurring strangers. Eventually, one particular man began appearing in every dream. Despite their unsettling beginnings, his presence gradually became comforting.

What she didn't know was that he had been trapped in the In-Between, a mysterious realm connecting dreams and consciousness, for years. Every night, he returned to the same world, unable to escape. Her arrival was the first thing to change his monotonous existence.

After encountering him at a local fair, she began questioning whether he was merely a creation of her imagination. That night, he appeared beside her in reality.

Their connection might have begun years ago, during a forgotten childhood encounter. Now, as the boundaries between dreams and reality weaken, they must uncover why their paths keep crossing.

---

~What neither of them remembered was that their connection might have begun long before their recurring dreams.

They had encountered each other once as children, somewhere within the In-Between. Their time together had lasted considerably longer than an ordinary dream, leaving behind fragments of familiarity neither could consciously recall.

They might have even crossed paths once in reality during their teenage years.

But memories fade, coincidences go unnoticed, and people often forget encounters that seem insignificant at the time.

Now, after years of separation, they were finding each other again.

And as their connection deepened, the distinction between their dreams and reality became increasingly difficult to understand.

Perhaps the In-Between wasn't simply a place people visited while sleeping.

Perhaps it was somewhere that remembered everyone who had ever entered it.
