There are voices that live between the spaces of our reach, suspended onto thin threads. I stretch my hand toward them, my heart caught in a tangled cord, and the silence that greets me feels neither empty nor scary—only incomprehensible. Sometimes, in the quiet hours, I imagine a presence waiting, on the other end, listening, understanding, ready to respond. I linger there, searching for a signal, a recognition, a nod that confirms that someone, somewhere, is keeping pace with the rhythm of my thoughts.

Time moves differently in these moments. A pause stretches longer than memory allows, a quiet spark of hope burns brighter than the world itself. I replay conversations that never happened, rehearsing words I hope will land on the just right spot. And yet, there is a strange comfort in the act of reaching itself—the ritual of attempting to bridge the distance, even when the bridge never forms.

The dream persists because they're stubborn. They carry the possibility of connection into landscapes where certainty cannot follow. They ask me to linger in the tension, to listen to the spaces, the hums, the pauses that hint at life beyond my grasp. And in that act of reaching, of waiting, of imagining—perhaps I understand something vital: that longing itself, maintained with patience and care, is a kind of communion, delicate and unspoken, sustaining me even when the answer never arrives.

In this quiet, muted world, the act of sending our voice out is enough. The echo that returns may be faint, fractured or absent entirely—but it leaves traces, subtle and irreplaceable, in the architecture of our hearts.

My interpretation of the theme: "Dreaming of a signal reaching the other end, carrying the hope of being truly heard.”
