On the Essence of Dreams
I once read a satire that criticized dreaming. The author, who wrote it in the late 1800s, humorously elaborated upon the "boring" habit that people tend to partake in just after wakig up: telling others about their dreams. The satire is my personal favorite, even considering all other satires I have ever read. Yet, I disagree with the author. I actually find enjoyment in hearing the bizarre tales of others, the things that they experience in the dreamscape. So, please, share your dreams. It can be any dream you have ever had, vivid or bland. Sigmund Freud claimed that the driving factors of the human mind lay primarily in the subconscious, and though he was later proven mostly wrong, the things that present themselves when we are unconscious, such as in our dreams, are still interesting. I think you get the idea, so enjoy this challenge!

ZARATAN

I dashed in a hurry when I saw the door to a room where I spotted something odd through the window there. Something caught my attention before I could inspect what was happening outside.

To my left side, I saw a pack of sea~turtle like stuff. They kinda reminded me of hoverbikes.

I stared at the hoverbike toys. I’m not sure what they were doing there on the bed. Where did they even come from?

After my brief moment of distraction, I remembered why I rushed into the room. I stepped closer to the small round window and what I saw shocked me.

A giant wave crashed by the window and I nearly thought I was going to drown. Oh boy~ was I completely surrounded by water?

Then I saw one guy on a hoverbike. Past him was a giant sea-turtle creature. On it’s back there was an entire village.

I could not believe my eyes. What a dream! Well, at least I was not having a nightmare.
