Another Night: Best of Jabre's Dream Journal

12-2/?/12-13

1. I come to school and go inside. I go to the library in the morning, but it looks very different. Upon pulling a book from the shelf, I become transported to some sort of place. It is like I am floating in the sky. Text appears in the sunrise. It is like I am taking a test, and the clouds are my paper. I am asked a series of questions by a voice in the heavens. I look down, but I cannot see anything. Then, he speaks another time, and the text jumbles together and rewrites itself, spelling out: "YOU ARE DREAMING." Everything becomes shockingly vivid. Then, I proceed to the next question. The voice asks me something, and music begins to play. A little black button appears with an electronic base, floating in front of me, with the words "DEMISE" scribbled onto it. I press it.
2. I am in the living room late at night with my headphones on. I assume I fell asleep with it on. Then, I realize that the voice on the podcast is the same as the one from the dream. I become lucid. Then, a familiar woman enters my house. She tells me to go to sleep, but I know that I already am. "You aren't real! I'm dreaming," I say, but she just looks at me. Everything feels so real that I begin to believe that I've actually woken up. It is time to settle this. I do a reality check, but I get a false negative. My eyes are blurry- I try to pull my eyelids apart to clarify, but I cannot. This is a common dreamsign among my false awakenings. I close my eyes, and force them open, waking myself, even if just to prove it was just a dream.
