Every dream you ever had is fighting for attention

Your brain reels viciously as all of your past dreams demand to be heard at the same time. Your gorge rises as your equilibrium is smashed into a thousand thousand pieces and you vomit loudly. Pain shoots through your sinuses like you are being waterboarded with battery acid. You scream while you retch and bile drips down the front of your clothes. Then a man walks up and pulls out a bottle of water and opens it. He pulls out a salt shaker and pours a little mound of it in his hand. He mixes it in with the water with a few shakes then gives you some drinks of it. Almost immediately you start feeling better. Your stomach unclenches and your swimming head slows down. You can even sit up for a minute, then two and finally you are completely cured. In fact, every scar and old bone break is healed like they never happened. You get up and walk until you are out of sight, the life you lead before this doesn't matter anymore and you leave it behind without a second thought.
