Seperate Reality

It was nearing midnight and I had traveled the deserted highway for far too long, the dark began playing it's tricks, casting it's illusions.
My eyes were dragging down and my hands had stiffened on the steering wheel, it was a hot night, even with the windows rolled down and the slight breeze, I was crying sweat.
I felt my uneased mind begin giving in to the tricks that the night had been trying to lure me into, down the highway were great rock formations and not a single other car, the stutter of my engine echoed throughout the flat desert.
I couldn't shake the fear that started to consume me, I made figures out of the empty spaces, the radio only played static and the momentary whispers of some country station.
A frightening silence was all I could hear so my thoughts had become extra loud in the face of this new found nothingness, I felt a great paranoia and even with my most brutal attempts to downplay the fear that boiled it kept resurfacing.
I decided to stop for my tired eyes had begun to give way, I pulled to the side of the road and some obscure maze laid right before me, the walls made of rocks in weird shapes, even the stars which glimmered, glimmered in a way which was very unfamiliar to me.
I was now more scared than ever, my eyes grew very heavy yet I was alert.
As I sat on the hood of my car staring deep into the rock maze I lit a single cigarette that I had and as the lighter clicked and the fire arose I heard a scream followed by the tapping beat of a drum and the shake of some kind of maracas, I trembled with fear, I couldn't distinguish what it was but I knew that it was coming from the maze, my thoughts told me to see what it was, my fear told me to get in my car and drive faster than I've ever driven before.
As I contemplated for a couple of seconds I heard it again, a scream but it wasn't a scream of terror instead a scream filled with harmony, almost like the howl of a wolf.
My mind went mad trying to fit the scenario and as millions of thoughts ran down the treadmill
I saw a face surface from the maze, I could barely make it out but I knew it was there, I jumped in my car turned on the engine and quickly got out of there.
I couldn't believe it, my heart was racing my eyes were filled with tears, I was in the middle of nowhere and my head kept echoing the screams, over and over.
I drove for an hour straight with my eyes bulging out of my head, as I approached a turn I noticed the strangest thing, down the road a family of Indians sat next to their car, they waved me down, I stopped slowly, cautiously.
"Are you guy's okay" I asked
They all looked at me in a way that I had never been looked at before, their eyes glowed and their arms seemed like they were beginning to fade, sand pouring from the eldest mans fist.
"Who are you" the youngest girl said.
They all looked at me waiting for my response, I felt a fear at that moment, my hands began sweating and my head too, I grinded my teeth and floored the gas, I couldn't believe how freaked out I was, in some weird sense I felt death tapping on my window and as I looked out I noticed headlight trailing behind me.
The horns of the car were blaring, I felt at that moment that I was destined to die and as I sped up I noticed something very strange again, the same family I had just seen now stood in the middle of the road, I tried to brake and my car lost control, It swerved into a tree.
I had fell unconscious for a couple of second and when I regained consciousness I felt blood dripping from my forehead, I tried turning on the car but it wouldn't start, I died of shock when I looked in the mirror and saw the same family standing right behind my now unmovable car.

I jumped out and tried running although the only thing that lied before me was miles and miles of desert.
I ran for a great while till I saw something which stopped me in my tracks, it was the maze.
I stared at it, looked around me and decided to ventute into it with the last bit of engery I had but I was afraid, I hesitated and it seemed like once I did that I saw the family again, now standing behind me.
In unison they said "Go In"
I screamed to them to leave me alone and they vanished.
I knew then that they were not human beings but instead some kind of non physical creatures, I jumped into the maze and as soon as I did I felt a cold breeze, The walls were written on with either red paint or blood, I then realized that I was still bleeding and I dragged my then bloody hand down the walls of the maze, I walked deeper in.
I followed it for a long time yet everything seemed the same till finally I saw a flash of light, I ran towards it though I had very vulnerable doubts.
As I got closer I noticed it was a fire and there were people sitting around it, I got out of the maze, inches from the men and the fire, they all turned and looked at me not saying a single thing, more of them came crawling from every which way and I froze.
For a minute which seemed like an eternity nothing was said then one of the men asked me to sit down, so I did, they all surrounded me until an elderly man split the circle and came awfully close to me, he smiled and said that they had been expecting me.

I was overwhelmed, the sweat mixed with blood and made it difficult for me to talk, he reached for my hand and put in it a peyote cap, he told me it was my destiny to take the peyote here with them.
I was very confused, I had so many questions but I couldn't form a single one, I looked into the eyes of this man and suddenly I felt a peace.
I took the peyote and the rest of the people there began telling me that they were all shamans and that I had been chosen to take the journey of a shaman.
I felt again uneased but at the same time my mind began it's descend into a trance, they all left from my side and resumed the position they were in before, I heard a scream followed by the tapping beat of a drum and the shake of some kind of maracas, they told me to look into the fire so I did and I began sinking into a hole, I fought for my life but for some reason I couldn't move, so I sank deeper into the soil.
I reached a firm ground where I was able to stand but pure darkness covered my skin I could feel something solid but I couldn't see a single thing, then out of nowhere a blast burst everything backwards, my body was blown into peices which spread and were made into stars and planets.
I was sown back together by a little girl and when I opened my eyes, I was the little girl putting myself back together, I looked up at a man confused as to who he was or who I was for that matter, I asked "Who are you" but he sped off into some milky black night, then from the ashes of some stars everything reversed and again I was back in pure darkness.
This time I couldn't escape, I ran down but got nowhere, at least nowhere I could see.

I laid down and accepted my eternity of darkness but as soon as I let go two eyes surfaced, bluer than the ocean, the whole universe was reflected on them and they just looked at my, blinked then looked up and as I looked up too I saw a door, I felt a calming peace and I reached for the door, when I opened it I was flashed by some btight light, I was alive again.

I felt the haunting glare of a pack of shamans as I was falling down a spiral which seemed endless till I closed my eyes and begged the gods to end this.
I opened my eyes, unfamiliar to it all, I had just awoken from a sleep and the memory of the dream had already faded, I jumped from out of my bed for I had to get to my sisters house and the drive there was hellish and it was starting to get late.
I stopped to get some food and made my way driving for a couple of hours.
It was nearing midnight and I had traveled the deserted highway for far too long, the dark began playing it's tricks, casting it's illusions!
