Transcend

I was at a daycare of sorts. We kept having many recesses in which we were all supposed to play outside together. I was being strange though, and kept stealing plates from the kitchen. I would take them outside and eat them.
After chewing on pottery for a few minutes, I decided to take a nap. I laid on the grass and rested against the brick wall. Several groups of students walked past me before I managed to fall asleep.
I awoke in a dark cellar. I was in the cellar of the daycare now. I walked back up to the front lawn where the other children were playing.
Something seemed off, so I did a reality check. Indeed, I was dreaming. And of course, at that moment, everything seemed to heighten in clarity.
I had no lucid goals though. I wasn't sure what to do in this dream.
For a moment, I stood there on the street with nothing to do.
I flew up into the air and into the clouds. They were so beautiful and defined, full of life even though they were inanimate.
But no, I had done this before.
I flew back to the ground and landed on the sidewalk, still wondering how I should spend this dream.
And then it came to me. How would my dream respond if I asked for transcendence?
"Take me higher," I whispered.
Instantly, without my doing, I rose into the air.
Everything morphed around me. Not into anything new, but into hyper clarity...that's not even the right word. Everything surrounding me became a kaleidoscope pattern, but yet nothing changed at all.
"Higher" I whispered.
This soundtrack began to play and I began to move forward:
I can't exactly describe how I felt. It was similar to that of tripping - but more intense.
I was moving forward without my doing. The street ahead of me was coming towards me.
I was about to fly straight through a billboard, but I wasn't afraid. I simply passed right through.
"Higher," I whispered.
Everything began to move faster. I zoomed out of the city and in the process left my body behind.
My consciousness was now flying warp speed through the Earth (que really fucking epic music).
I was flying so fast through country roads, wilderness paths, and scenic highways that I could only perceive them as the rapid progression of pictures. A billion pictures flew past my eyes per second.
"Take me higher," I dared.
I surpassed the warp speed that I was already traveling and my consciousness was risen into the universe.
In front of me was a massive black hole. It was beautiful.
Holy shit.
And I was flying towards it at warp speed.
Could I go any higher than this?
I felt my consciousness being ripped apart as I reached the singularity.
"Higher," I whispered, at the last moment possible.
The last thing I saw was a tear in either the fabric of the universe, or the fabric that held my mind together. Or both. It pulsated orange.
I woke up in my bed at my parent's house. I felt heavy.
But this still felt like a dream.
I got up out of bed to write this in my journal. The time on the clock kept changing. I had known it all along - I was still dreaming. Yet, I was very paranoid about forgetting the last dream that had just occurred.
I ran up the stairs. My mother was washing dishes.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
That was a really good question. What was I going to do now? I felt like nothing could surpass what had just happened, and I didn't want to forget it either.
"Maybe I'm just going to sit on the porch and enjoy nature or something," I asked.
"You have a lot you need to do, you shouldn't be wasting your time right now," she scorned.
"It's a dream," I flat out told her.
"One of these days you're just going to lose it," she warned.
I rolled my eyes and ignored her and proceeded to the porch.
There was a white rose growing against the warped siding. I sat down beside it. I could feel its warmth.
I wanted to experience again what happened earlier, but every time I tried I got a blazing headache. I decided to just let it be, and woke up for real.
I just reread through that again and I have to admit that my description of that dream does not do it any justice whatsoever...
