Floating up to Space

Lying on the living room couch watching a soccer game. I was pretty upset by what I was seeing although I don’t recall what game I was watching or what exactly was going on. The house was completely dark. It was nighttime. The only visible light was coming from the TV. My brother and 7 year old nephew walk into the living room. My brother lays out on the other end of the couch and my nephew walks up to me and we begin talking. I randomly ask him “Wait, I’m dreaming right?” I can’t really remember what his response was, but I got up and went out to the back door. He followed me along and I told him to just wait inside. I open the door and step out into night. I attempt to fly, but I couldn’t at first. I then started floating up slowly. I rose over the house and up towards the sky. I rose through the clouds and continued on past them. I was kicking my feet to help me float as if I were in water. I looked up and saw nothing but the seemingly infinite darkness of space. “I want to go to space!” I thought in my head. I looked down as I continued to float upwards and saw the tops of the clouds I had risen above. Up and up and up I went. I looked around hoping to see some stars, but I saw none. I was really struck by just how empty it was. There was nothing but infinite emptiness and darkness. It was really quite incredible. “I have to take pictures of this!” I think to myself. I pull out my cell phone from my pocket and begin taking pictures from well above the clouds. Every time I snapped a picture, the flash went off. The flash reached all the way down to the clouds and it looked a lot like lightning. It was amazing. My conscious mind never really grasped on to the fact that I was dreaming. Nevertheless, it was an incredible dream and one I am not likely to forget anytime soon.
