The Republic Of Florida

    My family embarked on a journey through the heart of the New Republic of Florida, its gleaming capital rising before us like a monument to a new era. A city transformed, where the name of Donald Trump loomed large, and a palpable sense of change crackled in the air. It was a landscape shaped by the hands of ironworking cowboys, defying gravity as they constructed towering behemoths that scraped the very heavens.

     As our car traversed the immaculate streets, we gazed upon the colossal skyscrapers, still in their embryonic stages, reaching skyward like giants awakening from a deep slumber. The symphony of construction echoed through the air, a testament to the indomitable spirit of progress and the promise of a brighter future.

     In the midst of this architectural metamorphosis, a newfound hope settled within our weary souls. We embraced the dawning of an era that held the promise of change, of possibilities yet untapped. A collective anticipation swelled within us, like a chorus of whispered dreams, as we eagerly anticipated the marvels that awaited us on this journey into the unknown.

     Amidst the towering structures, we glimpsed a glimpse of the future, a tantalizing taste of the yet-to-be. And with every passing moment, our anticipation grew, fueled by the belief that within this city of dreams, anything was possible.

     Only time would tell. For now, we embraced the intoxicating allure of progress, embracing the vision of a city that dared to dream big. And as our car continued its journey through this evolving landscape, we carried within us a mix of excitement and trepidation, our hearts filled with the anticipation of the things to come, be they blessings or curses in disguise.

Runaways

We kids are runaways in the city. An evil maniac (like Immortan Joe from Mad Max Fury Road) has taken many kids as his slaves. He roams the streets along with his baddies, looking for the next child to use and abuse. We evade capture several times over. We steal a truck. I drive while the others hop in the back. We drive around looking for a place to hide, and even more critical, somewhere to call our home.

We come across a warehouse. It's several stories tall. We park the truck and climb the stairs to one of the upper floors where we find a giant pile of clothes. I find Snoopy and Star Trek t-shirts. One of the other kids asks to trade one of his shirts for my Star Trek one. I do. We hear a noise coming from a nearby stairway.

Lorna Doone

Dream 5/30/2017

One night after work, I decide to drive away. I travel east of Indianapolis for about two hours. At one point, I look out my left window and see a giant city full of neon lights. For some reason I feel like the city is called "Lorna Doone." At this point in the drive I turn around and go back home.

I am obsessed with the city that I saw. I look it up on google but cannot find it. I check out maps but cannot find it. I tell my family about it. We try to figure out what city lies two hours east of Indianapolis but cannot find the answer.

At a gathering, a couple of family friends walk up to me crying and tell me they are sorry for my current health predicament. One friend, Seth, tells me that I have to stop biting my finger nails because that could be the reason behind my health issue. Even during the gathering, I can't stop thinking about that hidden city. It crosses my mind that the city could be Cincinnati but I'm still not sure. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Wild Is Upon Me

Dream 1/17/17

A creature-somewhat like a tiger-stalks the people of my town.

To escape the dangers that are upon us, a group of townspeople and I take an elevator to the rooftop of a skyscraper. We get to the top and lay our sleeping bags in a line, one next to another. We fall asleep together, safe and sound. Dream ends.

A City in Heaven

A Dream From My Past

I'm driving through a redwood forest. As I'm going along, a policeman turns his red and blues on. I pull to the side of the road. He asks me to come and get into his car. As crazy as it sounds, I don't think I'm in trouble but at the same time, I don't know whats going on. I get in the car. We begin to drive.

We drive until out of the blue the forest subsides and we are now in a city. On one side of the road is an ocean so beautiful it looks like it's made of crystal. In the ocean are an array of giant ships the size of cruise ships, maybe bigger. On the other side of the road is the city. The most beautiful designed buildings you'd ever see. So majestic. I've never seen anything like it before. It must be Heaven. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Outer Realm

Dream 2-18-14

I'm inside a video game. 

I think that there are boundaries. I choose to step outside the limits of the game. I keep walking through the outer realm when I come to a city. I walk through the stores and find all of them empty. 

I walk into a Hollister and take some clothes. I put them on. I then continue to walk through the city.

I arrive at the center of the city. There I find God and his many angels. They welcome me in. The angels and I go out on many missions. Demons chase us much of the time. Whenever we're in trouble, we always run back home where our Father is waiting. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Rubble

Dream 2-15-14

I'm walking through a ruined city. There are friends here with me. We have an enemy on the other side of town that we are trying to avoid. We come to a narrow street with rubble lining the road. We hear our rivals approaching. We quickly run into one of the buildings and quietly hide. We lower all the shutters and blinds. The sound of the enemy becomes louder and louder. We finally see several men march down the narrow street. Their shadows travel through the shutters. I'm very scared that they're going to find us. They don't.

I walk by myself to the enemy lines. I don't see anybody. I grab a large bone off the ground. It's shaped like an African Shofar. I run through the enemy territory. I don't know what my mission is. All of a sudden, I see a soldier. He's not good. I bash him over the head with the bone. He falls. I keep running. I make it to a barn. There I find another foe. Rather this time, I talk the young man into joining us. He does. I hand him my bone and tell him to kill anyone who tries to get us. We make a run for the ally camps. Bashing heads as we go. We finally make it. Dream ends.

I wake up.
