 A Dreamer  There are many activities I like to perform during my free time. However, one of my favorite things to do is dream. When I dream, everything is more intense. The colors are brighter, so all that I see stands out and attracts me. I have repetitive dreams. There is one that I have been having since I was a little girl. I am walking into the super market and I spot my favorite candy. Luckily, I have enough money to buy myself a basketful. But as I push my shopping cart towards the front of the store, a feeling of dread slowly begins to grow within me. Then the dream ends. I never make it to the front of the store. And I never get to purchase the candy. When I really think about it, all of my dreams can be grouped into three categories: food dreams, flying dreams, and nightmares. My family is big on eating. We live to eat and not the other way around. So when I am dreaming that I am eating, I am having a ball! When I wake up from these dreams I am usually chewing or clenching my fist as if the food that I was eating is still in my hand. I am always a bit disappointed when I dream of food, because I would be dreaming of my favorites. I say favorite, but honestly I like all types of food. As I a horror movie fan, and writer with an extremely over active imagination, I have many “nightmares”. I put nightmares into quotation marks because these dreams started off being scary then ended up being entertaining and great ideas for my stories. Not all of my dreams are centered around me, so it is almost like I am watching a scary movie. And I LOVE To watch horror films. It is an amazing feeling to feel light and free. This is why my flying dreams are my favorite. I can jump over tall buildings and soar through the air. When I awake from these dreams I am usually well rested and and feel as though I could really fly if I wanted to! This feeling usually carries on through the day. My self-esteem is raised and I feel dangerously invincible. I guess I can call dreaming an addiction for me. And when I don’t dream I feel as though I had never fallen asleep. I am tired, and restless.
