The dream started in the upper level of a good sized 2 story house. A good sized family lived here, and I was walking around looking at the house. One of the younger boys who had straight blonde hair and looked about 8 years old grabbed my hand. "Let me show you my room!" He said happily and led me into a room at the end on the hallway. There were two twin sized beds in the room and red blinds over the window. He started pointing out different things in his room like a toy T-Rex and his lamp, then a voice from downstairs (His dad I presumed) called up "Boys! Get everyone together and let's go outside!" The little boy ran out of the room and down the hallway where he met up with 3 other boys who looked a little older than he was and the four of them began climbing down something to the bottom floor. I followed and when I came to what was supposed to be the staircase, found that there wasn't one but a beat up wooden bunk bed in it's place. I began slowly climbing down it. It broke and I fell on the ground. A woman with shoulder length black or dark brown hair was near me and a large black (or maybe dark brown) dog was jumping up and down barking excitedly by her feet. She looked at me with a look of hesitation and uncertainty, then turned around and started walking towards a door. Suddenly I was outside in the backyard of the house. It was a large yard, most of it being a field of dried grass with snow clumps here and there near a blue, round, kiddie pool. One of the boys came up to me with the dog. "Watch what she can do!" He held out a hula hoop for the dog. The dog ran back a ways, then ran towards the hula hoop and jumped through it into the pool then jumped out. As it left the water, the water froze. The dog ran back around and jumped through the hoop again into the pool. The water turned back to a liquid state. I began to become aware as I watched the dog do this. "Is this a dream?" I asked myself. The woman was standing near me and turned to look at me with a strange look I couldn't quite understand. I looked at my hand and found that I had 6 fingers, one of which was split at the top and had a two finger hand growing from each split. I looked out into the dream world, trying to step back a bit and remember what it was I wanted to do with a clearer mind. I become fully lucid and debate with myself which of my remembered goals I wanted to do. As I was doing this, the woman interrupted me. "Can I ask you something?!" she said quickly. I turned to her, glancing down at her little blonde haired daughter (Sarah as I suddenly knew) in the process. "Do you know what's going to happen here before it does, or do you just watch it happen?! I mean, it's your mind!" She seemed quite uneasy around me. It was obvious she knew I was in control of this world and had a respect and fear of that. I nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm." I looked out towards the yard. I saw two men, one of which was her husband, talking to each other. Both were wearing athletic wear, one blue and one purple.In an instant a couple different scenarios played out in my mind as to what they could do next. I knew that if I favored one idea or thought too much of it the thought would no longer be just an idea, but fact. "Both I guess. I mean first of all, how do I see here?" The little girl, Sarah, looked up at me with a look of certainty. "You have eyes." Her mom glanced down at her, then back at me. "Yes, I suppose I do have eyes. Well, at least it appears I have eyes. Do I really though? Are these real eyes, necessary for sight here? What if I were to loose them? Could I still see? The thing is, I could. I don't need eyes here. I'm inside my head, this whole world is me. I can know what will happen before it does by thinking it, or other times I just know it will happen as if it was beamed into my bran. Other times I don't know. I could will something to happen and something different could happen instead. I can also just watch and see what will happen as you would. As someone in the 'real world' would." Sarah smiles at me. "That's when WE know what's going to happen next. When WE control this world." Her mom no longer seemed hesitant about talking with me, but excited and eager as if she were waiting for her next chance to talk. "Who's we?" I ask. We had started walking as we were talking, and now we were walking down a street and it was night. Sarah opens her mouth to respond, but her mom interrupts her. "That's another thing. You're here in this world...and this world is your MIND! Anything you can imagine is possible! But how are you even here? How did you come inside your own self? I mean look around! You are here before us, and at the same time all of this is you!" I could see a small nebula form suddenly in the sky surrounded by millions of stars outlining what appeared to be a path to the small orange, blue, and red nebula. The pathway remained up in the sky, but continued to hug the boarders of the road as if to say "Hey, if you want to walk on the road, that's cool. But if you wanna walk on the stars I'm right here waiting for ya!" It was gorgeous, more beautiful than anything I consciously had placed in the sky before. I knew the woman had put it there. I grinned at her. She grinned back. "That's awesome! But I feel as though you're avoiding my question. What did Sarah mean by 'We'?" She looked intently at me and suddenly a wave of thought came to me and I started blurting out everything that came to mind. "If this world is me and we're inside it right now, then where am I thinking? As I'm thinking of what to say next, the words aren't floating in front of you or blaring from the sky. There has to be another layer of thought unseen, of one's mind!" She smiled and nodded at me. "Now you're getting it." I stared at her with my mouth open, a hundred questions going through my mind of what to ask next. This is awesome! Sarah tugged on my arm. "Time to wake up." She said. I shook my head. "No, not yet." She gave me a look of a kid about to throw a temper tantrum. "No, I said IT'S TIME TO WAKE-" I wake up quickly with the word "UP!" strongly in my memory as if someone had just said it while I was awake. I tried to close my eyes and enter back into the dream, but I was way too awake and excited to go back to sleep.
I'm freakin walking on sunshine today, guys. I'm ecstatic.
