There are the bad dreams, the nightmares, that scare you, upset you and make you feel bad for the rest of the day or, even, for the following days.
There are beautiful dreams that enchant you, daze you and, in a way, intoxicate you... Usually, these leave you daydreaming and with an unreal feeling for the world around you. At the same time, they make you feel sad and dissappointed because they weren't real.
Both types of dreams can make you lose track of space and time and have you comfuse real and fake.
There are, also, those dreams in the middle, the unremarkable ones, that, whether you forget or remember them, they don't affected you.
Ma had never had problems with sleep in the fairy-world. However, from the moment she assumed her human form her sleep became messy. She often had intense dreams. Other times, she had nightmares (how she hated them!!!) and, still others, impressive, beautiful dreams.
How many times, really, did she wake up in the middle of the night either by a bad dream or in order to write an idea, a thought or to paint a picture from some weird dream...
Her sleep was an unlimited source of inspiration. Oh, yes! Inspiration came to her dressed in dreams. That came at a great cost: she couldn't rest and, even when awake, she had to carry the (possitive or negative) remnants of her dreams.
A night, a long time ago, Ma had a beautiful dream. Peaceful images passed in front of her eyes... She listened to a song in her sleep, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember a thing. Not one image, not one note, not one line. Nothing. Only a general blue atmospheare that dominated the dream... and two lines: "I'm a ropewalker on water, I'm tumbling and balancing". She got out of bed and took her notebook to write them down. Underneath them, she wrote: "Who knows, maybe it'll become a song one day...". And she fell asleep again.
After some time, she decided to try and write the rest of the song. She tried to recall the fussy memory of the atmospheare of the dream. After she completed it, she gave it to Eu, to write a melody that suited it... Then Ko added his elements...
And, thus, the Ropewalker was created...
It should be fairy-noted:
- Ma is very moved. Not only because she completed a song that would have remained forever incomplete, but mostly because one of her dreams came true, since the Ropewalker acquired flesh and blood...
- In this song, Ko plays with a hidden tambourine behind his bendir. Ma and Eu admire him for that! They know that this tambourine is very heavy and only Ko's magical hands can lift it and play easily with it so clear and fast sounds...
