Dreams always make some cool stories, but a few thoughts. You could use some creative metaphors or descriptions of the dream's visions. For example, what does the bisected area between the forests actually look like? Thick bulbous and rugose roots, versus smaller and more typical ones? Likewise, when there are capitalized statements with exclamation points, what body language matches that? That can really drive home the horror and surreality here. Hope that is helpful.

Have you tried to post on other platforms? I am so interested in your work. My name is Nina an editor for a fast growing platform. May I know how to reach you professionally?

Your grammar needs some improvement. Don't write dialogue in all caps when someone is shouting. You can use caps sometimes, but use punctuation to get the effect of shouting across.

For example: Your grammar needs some improvement! Don't write dialogue in all caps when someone is shouting! You CAN use caps sometimes, but use punctuation to get the effect of shouting across!

I used exclamation marks to show that I'm shouting. By using caps on the word 'can', it changed the whole context of the sentence. Use things wisely, like punctuation, caps etc. It's easy to do as well, you just need to keep writing and practising. My stories were crap when I first started out (yours isn't, don't worry!) but I just kept writing and writing.

Some of your sentences are too long. Try breaking them up a bit. Use a mix of commas and full stops. I know this is an old story but use this for future stories. Good luck.

Well, horror definitely isn't the type of story I normally read, but as someone who has scary dreams myself, I picked this up.

I like the tense that you wrote this story, it makes me feel like you're telling me about the dream.

Good job because I could see everything you dreamed in my mind's eye. Keep on writing!

Whoa meta.
So looking up the meanings of dreams, seeing or riding a bike means you are looking for balance and need to get your schedule under control, older women(yes middle age counts) in dreams mean you're afraid of aging, forests represent your own subconscious, and losing the key symbolizes feeling out of control of your own life and predicts a future event where you lose control over your situation.

I literally copy-pasted everything from the very first interpreter that came up on Google, so whatever on whether or not all that is accurate.
