When I was younger I used to have a lot problems at home ,I used to have nightmares bad and woke up in a sweat ,sometimes sobbing ,until one day after a crazy otherworldly incident(and some other stuff but I rather not get into that) I started to turn my nightmares to benefit me ,I can even recall when I first made my dream world,I was at my school ,I was in the field and it was a beautiful day,I walked towards the gates that outlined the back(in real life and in a dream they were really creepy) I was hesitant to even to explore it but since the incident I wasn't scared anymore ,I tried to pry open the gate ,I still couldn't make a big enough gap to get through I was about to quit but my strong curiosity kept me going,finally I got in and I was standing in someone's back yard which looked deserted ,I saw something that drawed my attention (I don't remember really what happened after that it foggy but. A revelation came to me )suddenly after that I was snapped out of my dream and was in my bed ,after that day I started to work on getting further into the dream first I started by adventuring my further into the yard and came around and found myself looking at a simple house then something or somebody (I don't know who it was )that person being taught me how to use my mind to create more houses like that one,n how to be in more control of my mind ,first I started on a few houses,than a little small neighborhood ,than I made it bigger and bigger until it became just like reality ...there's way more to the story but I sum it up a lot and sorry for the grammar/spelling mistakes
