I had this dream last night and I thought it was really cool.. I edited it as best as I can but I apolgise for the many mistakes in it.

Inside The Fence.

The entire world was different for it was contained inside a fence. A three sided fence though it was rectangular in shape the forth side was a lake. We were controlled by a dictator. Everything we did had to be in the best interest of him. Over the years, we had been told stories about the oceans and how wonderful they are, but after seeing every inch of the fenced boundary I was standing at the lake, looking out with my father and ask “If this is really the entire world that I have seen today, where are the oceans?” I asked him this as the realization hit me that what I lived in was not the world but small part. Fenced to stop people from inside from getting out and discovering what beauty there was to be found beyond the control of our dictator. I started questioning everything I saw, heard and was told to obey and believe. I found a small group of people who believed the very same thing as me, and we waged war on our government, with super soakers filled with paint. Our sides paint colour was blue, the government and there supporters had red paint (the largest side) and there was a third side the smallest side (I’m not sure what they believe in) they has super soakers with green paint. The war took place inside and office with silver coloured desk and computer, which provided a great contrast for the vibrant colours of our paint. The war won by the government and I went up on my life as expected of me, though still questioning everything. One day I could no longer take it I had to see for myself what life could be like. I waited by the fence for a safe spot when the guards weren’t looking and I hopped and it lead me to a farmers field, He was farmer who grew the food for the fenced off world that I up to this point called my home. I had to lay low as I knew if he found me he would turn me in. This did insure me of my theory being true, the world did extend beyond the fence, Just as the sky did. I took a walk though the field, when suddenly there he was, the famer tending his field (which thinking back appeared barren minus a few patches of wheat growing here and there.) He was wearing a straw had and red flannel shirt and jean overalls. I had to hide… I couldn’t be certain of my fait if I were caught. I hid behind a patch of wheat though I was wider then it and you could see though it. I knew at this moment I was going to be caught, there was no way this farmer could me miss me. I was done for. When the farmer kept about his business of weeding his fields by hand, he never even looked up, he never saw me. After that scare I decided to go back to the fence off area I was suppose to love, I guess in a way I was caught. I stayed there for a few days, and could no longer take it, I had to leave and I had to leave for good. I left as I had before, but on the other side of the fence I found something I had not expected. Two more people, not just any two, two of my ex best friends, I am on good terms with one of them, but the other hurt me too badly and even in the dream I was not happy to have to spend the next few days or maybe even the rest of my life with her. We walked though the field and into the barn. Inside the barn was everything you expected to see, dim light farm equipment and stall for animals, I did notice that he ceilings were low… like 5.5-6ft high other places were high but where there was second floor overtop the ceilings were low. We heard some rustling outside so we quickly but quietly made it up stairs. Upstairs was bedroom with two single beds a bed of what had to have been for a girl and one which was clearly belong to a boy. We were closets to the boys bed. It was red and blue sheets and had Steve embroidered on the pillow. I climbed Steve’s bed and put the sheets over my head in hopes to not get caught. Sure enough the two girl I was with did the same… There was a whole other bed, one of them could have hidden there and one could have hidden out of sight,but all three of us squished on to one single bed first me, then Tamara, then, Tabatha(she is the one who hurt me). People smashed open the barns doors and came running up the stairs. It was the dictator, the farmer and one other random guy. We had been caught. I cannot tell you what happened with the other two. I begged and pleading with them until the farmer said in a country accent “Well see here we could really use some more women’s help around here, you know in the kitchen and stuff, how about if she marries my son she can and helps us in the house.” The dictator looked at the farmer and thought about it then silently agreed. As did I, even though I was aware that as much freedom I was getting I was also losing the same amount, I thought nothing could be worse then living inside the fence.
