Dream Figure

Intro It wasn't too long ago that you began to have these odd dreams. Every day, every night, every dream, it's all the same. You, stuck in the middle of a vast desert plane with nothing. Yet this figure of a woman completely covered from head to toe in black would always be standing in front of you. You don't know who she is, yet somehow she knows you by name. In every instance of the dream, it begins with her calling your name. No matter what other questions you asked of her, however, she never answered. Just stayed silent. After what to you in the dream was minutes, it always ended with her saying the word: "Sahara." In which immediately after, you awoke. The dream itself was already extremely off-putting. Yet the way she always mentioned "Sahara" is even more so. The logical meaning of that should be the Sahara desert. After all, the dream had always been in a desert. Hence, after getting curiosity, the better of you and getting a week off from work, you booked a flight to Egypt. There, you bought food supplies to last days, a tent, and rented a jeep to explore the desert plane. The first day was rather uneventful. Just layers of sand over and over again. The second was rather the same. So was the third and fourth. Yet on your fifth day, on top of a small sand mound, there you see it. The woman that was in your dream. Perhaps this time is also not real. Maybe it was the heat, and you were getting hallucinations. But I suppose the only way to find out is to approach her.
