I felt the cool breeze, it sent this cold shiver down as if it were the winter, slowly I opened my eyes and lo was the snow falling. It had covered everywhere.
But how did I happen to sleep outside, I recall mum tucked me in my blanket and I definitely had my pj on. It was spring so why was there a snow?
I couldn't see clearly as everywhere was foggy. I tried to stand but my hands and legs were tied. Then I saw it approaching, it was a shadow of a man carrying an axe, it was so tall it covered the clouds behind it. It grew bigger as it came closer. I tried to scream but couldn't hear my voice.
It got closer and bigger.
I twitched my eyes closing one of it while slightly covering the other. I saw it touch it, then everywhere spinned. It stopped and everywhere was dark. It didn't feel like I was lying anymore but standing. I began groping and meet a wall, smooth and tall. Knocking it I felt the echo. Going in a circular motion, I realized I was either a tunnel or a tumbler or a wine drum definitely made of wood. I kept hitting with all of my strength when I heard the top open, the light that came with it was so bright I felt my eyes hurt, followed by some liquid that smelled like grandpa's strawberry farm.

'Help' ,I screamed
The liquid kept pouring in and as it kept increasing, I was rising towards the top, maybe floating but I couldn't feel my legs. Once again I met the shadow at the top but a little man was the main image. How can such a small man have such mighty shadow, I thought. While thinking, little man picked me by my feet and flung me. This time I screamed and I could hear myself. I landed on the wooden floor of an old empty house. As I landed, there was a loud thrust and the grounds squeaked making the house feel like it was about to fall. Thankful I didn't.
'Who are you? I screamed
'What do you want with me?
Suddenly everywhere went dead quiet and once again I couldn't hear myself.
Then the strong wind that pushed me towards a mirror, I was being dressed up but I couldn't see who was?
Wow, I looked very beautiful in the purple long dress with a tiara. I was no different from the princesses on barbie stories. As I kept admiring myself, the strong wind pushed me again to the door which opened on its own revealing the beauty garden behind. I had never seen anything as beautiful as this, having flowers of almost all the colours, insects and the sky was so blue.

I actually hated that I was not allowed to admire this garden enough, as the wind pushed me again to a cliff and left my there hanging. The wind was going in a circular motion tossing me all round. I was feeling really dizzy and had to shut my eyes again.
I opened my eyes to hear the doctor speak to my mum,
'The drugs we gave her would make her hallucinate alot, so you do not have anything to worry about. She'll be alright he said'.
Mum returned to my bed, holding my hand she slightly squeezed, you'll be fine my darling.
THE END.

Hello @merrymay22,
The reader guesses from the start that this is some sort of illusory event. It has a dreamlike quality about it. The descriptions are good, but usually readers like stories that are not actually illusions.
