Korley's Dream

Awake Semi-lucid Non-lucid

- I see a boy with dark brown hair, near a bus outside and carrying a large gun.

- I'm at the front of my school, with two other people. A guy and a girl. We're all wearing black leather and carrying guns, which I quickly hide inside my jacket. As we walk into school I see my boyfriend, but say nothing. We walk through the crush hall and into a corridor on the left. As soon as we do, people dressed in medevial armour and carrying longswords burst in and attack us.

I dive to the side and we all pull out our guns. It's harder to aim and shoot than I thought. I end up missing. But it's ok because the others have taken care of them. We smirk to ourselves, how can they expect to kill us?

We slowly keep walking, careful to keep to the shadows. I keep mmy back to the wall, feeling my heart pump loudly. Soon another group jump out to attack, but we shoot them down.

The next group have guns. I shoot frantically and we take them down. Feeling danger, the three of us run outside. This is just like a dream, I think. A dream..?

I realise i'm dreaming but don't have time to reality check. I'm in a grassy area, but there's also a large concrete hole to my left. I don't know where the others are, but there's a group in front of me. They shoot, and I slow down time until I can see the bullets travelling slowly through the air. I dodge them, aiming my gun and shooting with perfect aim.

- I'm in an airport with my dad (not my real life dad, but I thought this guy was my dad in the dream), we're running from something. There's a group from the government have us or something, and they're very controlling. I feel paranoid. Everywhere I turn there seems to be eyes watching me. We come up the the metal detectors, and i feel myself go hot all over. I feel like just making a run for it.

My dad goes through calmly. He seems to be rolling a wheelchair. A woman and my brother go through too. They leave without me.

I realise I have my leg in a caste. It's pointing straight forward, and on my other foot is a rollerskate.I skate through the metal detector, somehow knowing that they suspect me. I glide down a corridor until I come to a glass wall, with a door in it. I pass through into a nice, quiet cafe.

It's dimly lit, quite fancy looking. The windows show we're quite high up in a tall building, and in a lit up city that looks like New York or somewhere similar. It's night. I skate awkwardly to the bar and notice the guy serving.

"Hey, don't I know you?" I narrow my eyes, trying to remember where i've seen him. "Maybe on youtube or something..?"

He's quite tanned, with longish brown hair and brown eyes. He's wearing a black shirt. I seem to realise where he's from (I have no idea what I realised but suddenly I knew who he was) . I get excited. "God um, am I dreaming? I don't know." I say, starting to babble. He seems to be uncomfortable when I shake his hand.

"You're quieter than I imagined, but that's nice."

He comes out from behind the counter and is suddenly smaller than me, around 5ft 5 or 6. "And smaller too." But I hug him. He's very nice to hug. We talk for awhile. He seems to come out his shell a bit more, and is very funny.

A message pops up on his laptop and he starts chatting on webcam to a girl. I leave, feeling like i'm intruding.

[Dreamskip] I find a hallway with no one there. I gingerly walk through and into a room full of music and dancing people. They look as though they're dressed up from the medieval times. Someone comes up to me and shouts over the music. "See her?" she points to a woman, people surrounding her and clapping along to the music. The woman was wearing a strange dress, black and white with fringing on it. She was doing strange kicks with her legs and was holding onto a part of her dress that should be her dancing partner.

I nod. "Well she's famous! She's a star! She was the one who first started dancing without a partner. Waltzes, the lot. She does it without them. You should join in!" Then she skips away, doing the strange dance. Men are doing the dance too, all of them wearing black shirts and trousers.

Benches run along the edges of the room, and I go and sit down because I have no idea how to do the dance. A second later, a young man flops down beside me, slightly flushed from the dancing and grinning happily. "You should join in!" He says, leaning back against the wall, panting.

"I don't know how to.." I say timidly. He smiles, looking quite cheeky. I instantly like him.

"Wanna see something?" He asks. I look around at the happy people. I've got nothing better to do, so I nod.

[Dreamskip] "Ok guys! Onto the plane, it's time to go to school."

It was the guy from the dancing. He's taking my class (chemistry) to school in a small plane. I stroll up to him, very amused. "This is what you wanted to show me? You're taking me on a plane?"

He winks, and gets in. I follow and sit down. It's only big enough to hold a small group of people, but it's cozy. I'm slightly worried because I don't know if he can fly properly, but what the hell.

He starts the plane up and we move forward, gaining speed. It's very rocky, but eventually with a lot of panic from my fellow classmates, we get off the ground. I still don't know why we need to take a plane.

He flies off towards the hills, and I stare in awe out of the window as we shoot off. I move up front to speak to dance guy, but end up just clinging onto the seat next to him as he drops the plane down and then pulls up at the last minute. He laughs and I smile weakly. Eventually he lands with a jolt, and I hear people groaning from the back.

We get off, and I realise we're on a very high mountain. I punch the air, excited. School in this gorgeous place? Yes please.

Looks as though my focus on recall is working. Hopefully it'll get back to what it was soon
