You walk into a ballroom,
people are dancing with lights flashing to beating music.

A cold chill settles on your skin, it makes you shiver.

All eyes are on you,
the bubble pop’s that you keep yourself securely inside.

You realize everyone has turned into shadows with glowing eyes, they are now surrounding you, somehow you moved to the center of the room.

Each face wears a mask,
as they begin to laugh at you.

You can see a black mist moving behind the crowd,
it feels cold and dark.

The faces seem to get closer and back up again, like they are teasing you with their faceless dance.

Silk dresses, and black suits, feathered masks and flowing music surround you.

You dance with the shadows
as you realize you are dreaming.

The sound of feet drag upon the floor, and you can hear everyone breathing in your ear. As they slowly fade into the black mist.

You wake… Its 5 in the morning.

This was my dream from last night. I never have normal dreams, I lucid dream. It can be an anxious experience but I’ve gotten use to it. For me it’s like a rollercoaster and I have learned to enjoy the ride. Becoming aware of the dream can cause you to wake up but I’ve learned how to stay in the dream. Sometimes it works other times it doesn’t. Sometimes I get stuck in the dream and I can’t wake. Those dreams are scary.
