I was outside lying on the ground. Katie came up next to me and asked what I had for dinner. She told me not to eat Ice cream and then lay down, because it will give you an upset stomach (??) I was staring up at the sky and I saw a shooting star. I told Katie and she said I was seeing things. I felt a strange pulling sensation and I tried to hold on to the grass. My feet lifted toward the sky and I felt scared. I floated up really fast. My eyes were watering and I couldn’t bring my hands up to wipe the tears. I felt myself go into outer space and I held my breath because I knew there was no air (again…???) I kept floating farther away. Earth got smaller and smaller. I stopped and I was in the clouds. A beautiful woman with huge black wings yelled at me and told me to breathe. It was a threat. She looked angelic, yet dark. Creepy. She said something in a weird language and a bald man appeared. He had a spinning disc over his head. It was making a metallic humming sound. I wanted to cover my ears but I couldn’t lift my arms. He said “I’m no Genie, boy….go make your wishes somewhere else.” and then he laughed. The woman watched him, and I thought she was going to fight him. The universe started to spin and I felt sick, and I woke up.

I feel I should explain a little bit about these. The text is copied directly from my hastily scrawled on notebook that I keep next to my bed. The text is kind of broken because I am usually half asleep when I write it With memorable dreams I sketch out a quick scene a few minutes after getting up, and then I usually do a painting in the following few days. I've include the text/sketch/finished painting. I hope whoever reads this enjoys them!

I realized that I was lost and I was scared. I knew that I was going to be very cold soon, because I could see the snow. A bit confused because I didn’t feel cold, but I knew it was coming and I didn’t have a jacket. The castle in the background was odd looking and very reflective. I think it was made of some sort of rock I’ve never seen before. As I walked toward the castle I was obsessing over the trees. They looked odd and twisted. The light was creating an orange glow on them. I started to feel cold and I heard someone crying. I walked over the hill and saw an almost naked woman chained to the snow. She appeared to be floating and it terrified me. I wanted to help her, but I could tell she was dangerous so I didn’t approach. I could feel heat coming off of her, and it was comforting in a weird way. She was melting the snow. I started to laugh because I could tell she was powerful, but for some reason she was too weak to pull the chains out of the snow. I don’t know why I thought that was funny. I snuck around her from a distance and tried to make my way to an archway. The snow got stronger and I thought I was going to freeze to death.
