I just joined today, so my first entry will be about one of the many vivid dreams I remember from my child hood. These are short, but I will try to write descriptively.

I was around 7 or 8 yrs old. My comforter was dotted with space ships, planets, satellites, and stars; if you looked at the whole blanket, there was details of you being inside of a space ship, looking out into space.
Before I fell asleep, I had a small dim lamp lighting my room while I studied the blanket marveling at the planets and details in the satellites. It was a summer night and I after turning off my lamp I fell asleep to the smell of lawn freshly cut that night~

---- Dream: Planets

I dreamt that I had woke up to a sound coming from down stairs in the kitchen. My room was completely dark except for the hallway outside my room, which was barely lit from the hallway night light. I trotted down stairs and investigated what might have made what ever sound it was that I heard. Standing at the base of the staircase, I peered into the darkness and saw nothing.
Giving up on the sound, I wandering into the living room and looked out the big picture windows we had with a couch butted up against them. As I waddled up the couch and gazed into the sky, Jupiter was RIGHT there! HUGE. Bigger than a pizza pie! About 10 times bigger than the moon. Behind it I saw Saturn and its rings. They moved about each other, coming nearer and further away from Earth.
Soon Uranus and Neptune slide into view, Venus and Mars close behind. Pluto was like the Moon, but look a bit bigger and greyer. At this time I am kneeling on the couch and pressing my face up against the glass to see it all better. Mercury was there as well, but like Pluto, was nothing to interesting to look at.
The harder I looked at the planets the more detail I saw in the planets, just like my blanket. The red dot on Jupiter swirled around and around, blackness being mixed in with reds and oranges. I fixed my eyes upon the rings of Saturn and remembered my brother; he saw them through his telescope and it was his favorite planet. I studied as hard as I could so I can tell him about it, but just then things were starting to fade. The planets I wanted to look at got smaller and started to zip away. Three big trees got in the way and suddenly I found my self laying in my bed wrapped up in my space ship blanket.
