Mystic Dream

 Novel by Sylvie Amour DeCristo

 Preview Chapter 

Dream

     I woke up from a dream in which there was only  Selene and darkness.

     Her hair felt like silk caressing my skin, her red cheeks, warm, illuminating, filling the emptiness within.  Her  green eyes glowing intensely,  resembling bright emerald stars in the night. She blended in the shallowness of my dwelling place,  where I have lived  suspended in time for almost 10 years, existing; my chaotic flat  is the true representation of my mind.  It  perpetuates an intense and tormenting scent of jasmine blossom.  It used to be my favourite fragrance, now it's impregnated on the walls,  impersonating the essence of my living, from the a day I smashed  the perfume bottle  against the mirror. Irritation, impatience and rage often  my true and  most faithful companions, and my comfortable, indulgent solitude . The  vexation deep in the heart and the longing, always the longing.  It's hard to explain, the longing for someone or something that you miss, but  was never there.

     At times I picture myself running away from my head, determinedly fleeing from my thoughts. The reality is that there are memories I cannot escape the story I'm about to tell, I tell it not because I want but because I must.

​

      I heard her whispering my name.

Her laughter echoed in the dark; she woke me up.

Her breath caressed my senses,  her face was directly above me, her eyes staring into my soul, piercing.

The deliciously disturbing  and unexpected visit from my best friend made it impossible to go back to sleep, it was 4 o'clock in the morning,

 -Selene, come back!

 I begged in the mists of a million thoughts and questions all mixed with fear, excitement and anxiety.

It was her ghost! was it not?  Selene is dead, or at least, she is not fully alive, has she just died? I will call her mother tomorrow to find out… I will call her mother tomorrow...

I repeated in my head, knowing there was no way that affirmation was going to get acted upon, the thought of it made me shiver..

    Whenever I am under stress or in a bewildering and hostile situation, I feel instinctively drawn to water.  I also feel instinctively drawn to water when I'm happy and excited,  when I feel lonely or depressed, afraid or insecure. I do feel  drawn to water in any and many situations as a matter of fact.  I strongly believe that in another life I was a fish.

      I make a bubble bath, infusing it with lavender and rose petals, I sat on my bathtub; letting  my mind go,  thoughtless. Normally,  the middle of the night is the time when all my senses are at their highest sensory vibrations.

I desire to feel Selene’s presence once again. I breathe in the fumes that emerge with the rich vapours of natural essence  and focus my eyes on the flame of the candle. It glows soft and golden. I always rebuke myself, I know what fire can bring, but this time I want to let it in.

      When I close my eyes after staring at fire my inner vision projects dazzling sparks of light flashing.

      A while ago I decided to deny the manifestation of anything that reminds me of the magical unknown forces, paranormal occurrences, parallel pathways,  the art of wishing and desiring, love in its truest form,  all these practices and activities which I became so deeply acquainted with, during my childhood.

I plunge into the water closing my eyes, then, still submerged I open them; Selene’s ghostly figure reappears and assumes what seems an impossible posture above me.  She fits perfectly in the bath, hovering under  the water; her nose touching mine.  She flashes a mischievous grin and then she vanishes again, like mist in the forest at dawn. I gasp, I open  my mouth oblivious to the water, yelling...

Don't go!

My childhood screams at me. Selene’s ghost leaves me in reveries, taking the form of unwanted thoughts; memories threatening to break the strict silence they've been forced to keep all these years....

Synopsis 

Two Actors working on a film take dangerously, to the extreme, their character building while preparing for their role, to the point that fiction and reality become two directly opposing and conflicting forces by which their fate is determined.

METHOD  tells the story of star-crossed love. Eva and Daniel are deeply submerged in the process of creating their roles for a film. Their extreme passion for METHOD Acting and the intensity they employ to recall past emotions and experiences drive them at the borders between sanity and insanity. They painfully self-inflict instability in order to truly reflect their character’s state of mind. Soon they are subdued by unexpected paranormal brain activity which crosses the line between psyche and materialises in their life.

The Actors fall in love with each in conflict with the reality of their characters lifeline of action. The METHOD sessions' invented life overrides the real inner life of the protagonists resulting in tragic consequences.

When love is the only option for redemption obsession for Method Acting drives Eva and Daniel away from it and towards the darkest place of their souls bringing out disease and horrific paranormal disaster.
