redisreddish's mess of dreams is still messy

Um, I had this dream a couple weeks ago. It was actually a shared dream with one of my friends.

I was in a classroom. A girl from school was walking around, telling people what to do. She came up to me and told me to do something, but I refused to.

“Um, you have to do what I say,” she said prissily, with her hand on her hip.

“No I don’t, because this is a dream,” I told her. She gave me a look like I was completely stupid, rolled her eyes, and walked away. It took me a few seconds for what I had just said to sink in. “Whoa! Holy crap! I’m dreaming!” I pinched my arm just to make sure, then pinched my nose shut and breathed in. Positive that it was a dream, I stood up on one of the desks and told everyone that it was a dream and I was leaving.

I tried to make a portal. I visualized one in front of me, swirling blue and black, and a faint image of it appeared. I concentrated on it as hard as I could, and it darkened and became a real portal. I was really surprised that that worked, since I can never manage to do much in my dreams.

“Ha!” I cried, and stepped through it. I came out into a large-ish room with a wooden floor and wooden walls. There was a hot tub in an alcove type thing in the back. Another girl from school was there, and she didn’t even look phased by my sudden appearance. She just looked at me, looked at the hot tub, and said, “I’ll beat you there!”

She was closer to it than me, so she just laughed and jumped in. I figured I’d amaze her with my dream powers (if I could get them to work), so I tried to manifest another hot tub. The same thing happened as with the portal: a faint image that darkened and became real. She just laughed again and told me that that was cool. I decided I might as well leave. I made another portal and stepped through it.

I came out in the school cafeteria. It was a lot bigger than normal, though. I tried to think of something that I could do. I looked around for my friends. Not difficult, seeming as that’s only about six people. I found them and told them that I was going to take them through a portal to somehwere. They all agreed that it was a good idea.

“Everyone stay here for a minute,” I said. I kind of made a portal, but the guys started stepping off to the side, and I had to get them back together. I couldn’t concentrate on them and the portal at the same time, so the portal vanished. “Way to go!” I said, annoyed. I made another one and shoved everyone through it before they could walk away. We came out in the band room. Ms. R (band teacher) was there, doing something on her computer and conducting to herself. She didn’t even notice us come in. I led everyone out into the hallway, which looked just like the hallway in our regular school, except the clocks on the walls looked much nicer. I went across the hallway and looked at a small sign that was next to a door. It had the name of a teacher on it. It was a crazy name; long, with a bunch of A’s and I’s and a K or two.

“Ahaha, this is hilarious!” I said. “I need to try to remember this.” I didn’t, obviously. I turned back to the group, a little disappointed, because everything looked the same as normal school. But we all walked down the hallway, and stepped into a beautiful room. The floors were marble, milky white and polished, and in the center of the room there were several pillars supporting a domed roof. The bottoms and tops of the pillars had detailed carvings on them, and it reminded me of Rome. We walked down another hallway. The right wall had a part that was set back a bit, and there were statues of horses; in the middle, two facing each other and rearing up, and on either side, two smaller ones just standing. There were also those… topiaries? Yeah, I think that’s the word for those bush things that are sculpted to look like stuff. There were topiaries in spiral shapes on the edges. A stone fountain was between the two horses in the center.

We continued down that hallway, which came out to the pool. The floor was black marble swirled with white, polished like in the first room. The room was kind of steamy. The pool was rimmed with gold. The pool had one main part, a long rectangle in the center of the room. A smaller section came off either side, and each of those branched off in both directions and met to make a larger rectangle around the main pool. There was a platform in the center of the main pool with a fountain on it; it had four dragons with water pouring out of their mouths. Small arches went over some parts of the smaller, outside rectangle. I went swimming for a while, and I think that’s where the dream ended.

When I told my friends about this dream, one of them said he had dreamed that he was in a castle with a group of people. When he described the inside, it was almost exactly like wherever I had been was.
