What a Dream

 

        It all started when I got into bed, and fell asleep. I had no idea that in the dream I was about to have I would shrink to the size of a millimeter. Or face many dangers. For example, I would have to avoid being squished by my dog, my sister, and my mom. After that, I did not expect that in my dream everything would be different. One thing that would be different is all the sounds that sounded small when I was bigger would be 20times louder. Clearly, I had no idea what I was going to dream about that night.

        In my dream I came across many obstacles. My first obstacle began when I tried to sit on my bed and put my feet on the ground, but then I realized that my feet were not touching that ground but hanging in thin air. Of course when I saw how far up I was I got very scared. Next, I crawled to the middle of my bed to avoid falling of. After I was sure that I couldn’t fall of I looked around my room. I didn’t recognize it until I saw the cloths I had put out foot the today about 1 foot away from the place I sat. Another thing I noticed was that everything seemed bigger, louder, and smellier. Next, I decided that I needed to get of my bed. Suddenly when I was thinking of a way to get down I heard my mom calling me down for breakfast. I was so hungry that I considered jumping of my bed for a few seconds. But then I realized that the bed was about 100 feet tall to me. Finally, I decided that I would have to jump to my desk then to my dresser, and then climb down the drawers to reach the floor without hurting myself. It seemed like a good plan to me. At last I had a plan that would work.

At last, the journey was about to begin. I began the journey by jumping to the desk. That was mot a problem. But then when I jumped to the dresser a big spider came out from behind a teacup. When it came out I knew I was in trouble, and that there was only one way not to be eaten. The one way was to climb down the drawers, so I started climbing. It hurt a lot even with the cushioning my falls. Even after all the surprises I wasn’t ready for what was about to happen.

          Suddenly, I fell into the last drawer, and I looked up, and there it was climbing like mad. Soon I realized it was not alone, but to my horror there were five more behind it each bigger than the last. The spiders were half way down when my little sister came in. After she spotted the spiders she screamed at the top of her voice. I hoped that my mom would come in and sure enough she walked into my room with a rolled up newspaper in her right hand and a napkin in the other. She must have guised that there was a spider or some other bug, and then when she spotted the spiders she whacked each in turn. When my mom was whacking the spiders I just stood there watching when I remembered that I looked like a spider. But to late she had saw me [or so I thought], but when she whacked she didn’t whack inside the drawer but about 5 inches above my head. When I opened my eyes I saw dark blood oozing into the drawer. It took a while for me to figure out that there was a spider where my mom had whacked. After she finished whacking the spiders she took my sister to Pre School. Once I couldn’t hear the car anymore I jumped onto the carpet. I had no idea what awaited me on the ground.

          As soon as my feet touched the ground I realized that I should have cleaned up my room. My room was a mess! There were cloths, stuffed animals, not to mention the 1-foot wall guarding the door. It was a huge problem even with the path leading from my bed to the door I still had to climb the wall. After a while I remembered that I had left a small whole in the wall with a road going through it for my block people. It was perfect. To get to the kitchen all I had to do was follow the track. Finally, I was going to eat breakfast. I was so happy that I ran half the way the way to the kitchen. But suddenly half way I found a sowing needle. Once I saw it I decided that I might need it for spiders. When I got to the stairs I stopped and looked for a way to get down. At last I looked down at the stairs and saw that there was one long piece of wood, so I just slid down the board. When I finally reached the ground I continued on my journey.

          At last I got to the kitchen. When I got to the table I found a problem with my plan.  The problem was how was I supposed to get to the top of the table? For about 10 minutes I thought. Then, I suddenly got a plan. I would climb up the chair and onto the table. Every time I went over the plan I got hungrier, so I started climbing the chair. After a while I reached the table. Even though I was tiered I ran to the food bowl and jumped in. Most things were to hard for me to eat, so I ate some of a banana. When I took my first bite I fell asleep in the fruit bowl.

          When I finally woke up I was in my room. First, I thought I was still sleeping in the fruit bowl and small. But then I realized that I was full-size and in my bed. I looked around my room. First, I saw the blocks on the ground then the toys, then the toys, and cloths on the ground. After I finished looking around my room I got up, and cleaned up my room. Wants I was satisfied that my room was spotless I went back to bed. At last my dream was over.
