    I'm attacked by alligators. Then I try to figure out why I'm still in high school.



    I have to swim through a swamp. On the edges are various plants and animals, frozen by the cold, black goo that touched them. I stay in the center of the slow-moving creek. Something feels off.

    I see an alligator, panic for a moment. I realize that it's frozen, too. I turn away, relieved.

    There's another one before me. It's alive. I can't out-swim it. I can't get to shore fast enough.

    It charges, and I let it swim straight through my submerged stomach. Teeth tear into my flesh and the water turns red, but I don't feel it. The alligator is distracted now. I latch onto its back and hold on. The alligator thrashes underwater, submerging us both.

    I step out of the water some time later. My mom comes rushing over, wanting to know if I'm all right.

    I assure her that I am, and lift up the fabric of my shirt to see that the wound has healed over entirely, leaving no scars.

    ---

    A dream takes me from Ixburg to Halifax and back again. I'm in high school and university at the same time, and my kindergarten teacher is very disappointed when I miss my driving lessons.

    "What, you want me to fly home for the weekend?" I ask my mom incredulously.

    She does.

    I hide out in my studio with my brother and Matt, who ask why I wasn't at (high) school today.

    "Cough. Cough. I'm sick." I say flatly.

    Alligators. Scare Factor: 3.

      Woah, sounds pretty freaky! Good thing you couldn't feel the pain.

      And I could have sworn that was a picture of an island, instead of an alligator.

      That's what it wants you to think.

      It's getting to the point where I snap into semi-lucidity (or even full lucidity) almost every time something attacks me. Either I know I'm dreaming or I turn into a character who can't die. It's pretty handy.

      I don't feel pain in my dreams, but usually if something is going to attack me, I just wake up I'm actually trying to work on staying in the dream when that happens, cos I've gotten lucid off being "killed" once, before!
