Lucid Dream Short Story

Superior Essays
All the sudden, I feel like a million pounds is pressing on my back. I am surrounded by darkness and suffocating. I go to move my legs and find that I now have what feels like an additional fourteen. This isn't a big deal to me, after all, I do lucid dream often. This is just a dream of course. After squirming my way out of a tight spot, I notice that the darkness is simply the sheets covering my face.I can now breathe better. I can't help but laugh at my stupidity and I often enjoy controlling my dreams so I play along with lucid dream. I see no light and at this point, I have no good reason to try and wake myself up. I go to get out from under the covers and flip my pillow over, a usual habit of mine. I squirm and squirm and for some odd …show more content…
For the first time, the hairs on my back literally stand up, pun intended. I hear my seven year old brother enter the room. I know that it is him because I can hear his favorite show playing on his IPad, Pokemon. He exclaims, “Charmander! I choose …show more content…
My brother spends most of his time playing indoor sports or sitting on his IPad. This is incredibly relevant because I have no idea how he acts when confronted by bugs. He has a tendency to be OCD and does not like mud and dirt. This is why I figure that he will not go to the plant. This gives me some relief, but not much. At this time, I decided that my best bet and the only way to be positive of my safety is to burrow into the soil in the pot. I briefly thank myself for not leaving the pot. I decided that burrowing in the outer rim of the pot might be the easiest route because that way I will not have to deal with roots. I then changed my mind remembering that I can use the roots to pull myself back out of the wet soil. Also, this will most likely look more natural considering a random hole on the border of the soil might raise curiosity. I burrow all the way down to the tip on a thin, stringy route and stay as still as possible. I remember that my stillness might be irrelevant considering my size. Despite this, I remain still. After what I assume is several minutes, I emerge from the soil. My brother becomes disconcerted with my not being in my

    After viewing the State of Consciousness section on "Dreams," the experiences I have had with dreams are more understandable now. For example, since I play fantasy football, I have had dreams in which I stressed over losing on fantasy football due to severe injuries for the players on my team or simply just mismanagement. Most importantly, these dreams typically occurred in Sunday night and several days afterwards, when football was still fresh in my mind. These dreams do make sense now as they are explained through the neurocognitive dream theory, which states that dreams share a lot with our thoughts and emotions (Domhoff, 2003. 2001). As I was worried about these games, especially in times when the football games were occurring, it is reasonable…

In dreams, I feel like I am not in control of what is happening, I am the observer. I sometimes know I am dreaming because I do things I would not normally do in real life. In dreams, things do not always make sense, like a movie skipping. In real life, this is not the case.…

    BELIEVE IT OR NOT, we're all accustomed to a certain standard, or stereotype that needs to be played. Whether it's being captain of the cheerleading team or the smartest kid in your class, it's one way or another that's there's going to be someone who's supposed to follow by these stereotypes or standards just for the sole fact that that's them. Unfortunately for me, it couldn't get any worse, since being an African American female who unfortunately does not fit your typical, "angry black woman." Yes, that "angry black woman", bitter, closed-off, unarticulated, with serious father issues.…

Deep breath in… deep breath out, in and out, in and out, over and over again until I’ve calmed down.…
