Dreamscape

Finn loved sleeping, it was one of his favourite things. It was a place where anything could happen. Almost like Glee club, it was a place where he wasn't constantly being judged for his faults-and there were many. But most importantly, to him, it was a place where he could be with Rachel. And that was all he wanted. He loved her so much. Like, so much that he could kick a chair-not in anger... but in love. That's all he wanted.

He wanted to hold her, her smaller body against his. He loved her smile, but he only wanted her to smile at him, couldn't help but feel jealous when she didn't. He loved when she sang, the passion in her voice, the expression that washed across her face. And dreams seemed to the place where he got them. It was a place where they never yelled at each over stupid things-which were usually his fault-or about his future.

So when he went to bed, it was with eagerness, because the minute that he fell into the darkness, he knew that all he would feel was happiness. All the hurt feelings and anger of the day would wash away and he'd hold dream-Rachel in his arms. He'd sing, always. And always, it would be the same song.

I want to wake up in a different city

I want to wake up in an old hotel

I want to wake up and I want you with me

And I don't want anyone else around

We could be the only one who matter

We could be the only ones who know

We could also be a real disaster

But whatever, never mind, let's go

…

When I'm with you all the skies have rainbows

When I'm with you all the clouds have sun

When I'm with you I can take off my clothes

When I'm with you, we can both have fun

You and I can make it extra special

You and I can make it super cool

You and I can beat the extra level

You and I can make or break the rules

…

I want to be the light to your dark

I want to shine like gold

I want to burn my name in your heart

I want to lose control

Tell me you need me when we're apart

You already think you know

You better get some before I start, running away with love

…

So come on, I know you have my number

So come on, I know you know my name

So come on, before I start to wonder, will we ever feel the same

I'll be waiting for you where we started

I'll be waiting right where I belong

I've been waiting ever since we parted

I've been waiting trying to write this song

…

I want to be the light to your dark

I want to shine like gold

I want to burn my name in your heart

I want to lose control

Tell me you need me when we're apart

You already think you know

You better get some before I start, running away with love

…

Running away with love

…

They'd fall into each others arms, and love each other forever.

Then his alarm would wake him up and the dream would be over. The truth would crush down on his chest until he couldn't breath anymore. She was gone. She didn't love him anymore. She never wanted to see him again.

So he'd hit the snooze button. Just five more minutes. But it was always never just five more minutes. He'd close his eyes, and she'd been in his arms again. He could smell her. He could feel her. Solid and warm. It felt so real, like he could turn over and she'd be there next to him. But when he did, she never was. He was alone. That's all he ever was. But not when he closed his eyes in the darkness.

Rachel would always be there...

Like a Dream.
