The other night I had a nightmare that left me in actual physical pain. I was lying in a field of long green grass that somewhat resembled and unkempt countryside meadow. As I lay looking at the sun I hear a snake approaching from down by my feet. I looked down to see a King Rattle Snake slithering up to my bare feet. The enormous black snake hissed and rattled its tail as it slithered over my ankles and up the left side of my body. Anticipating its strike, I tense up and stare down the rattle snake as it continues up my left side and approaches my neck. The black monster slithers over my shoulder and stops to inspect the pulsating veins in my neck. I almost suffocate from holding my breath, but the snake finally moved on down the right side of my body. It continued to return down towards my feet. Just as its head reaches my toes, I released a swift kick toward the monster to repel it from doing any damage. During which, I find that I am awake and kicking full speed towards the wall next to my bed. My foot slammed into the baseboard and dented the wall behind it evoking a scream of pain. I would rather have let the snake bite me, but at least I didn't break my foot.

Dreamgirl
Last night I had a dream that I met a girl and fell for her, hard. The following is how the dream progressed.
It started out with me leaving work for the day. As I'm leaving I notice a girl who I've never seen or spoken to before. I stop to talk to her without knowing exactly what I was doing or why. She has a toxic laugh, awkward charm, beautiful lips, and that's just the beginning. We start to talk, talking leads to the hint of a spark, and that spark led us to a warm setting at the nearest restaurant lounge. We take a seat by the fireplace and carry on our laughable conversation about food, hobbies, and friends. Before long we became completely lost in time, space, and in each other. Eventually, nothing else existed but her face and mine, her hands and my hands, and soon, her lips and mine. How did this happen? We wonder separately.
Before we know it the restaurant is closing and we've been sitting for hours listening to each other's lips struggle make out words as our minds race through millions of thoughts per minute. We don't care, nothing could tear us apart at this point except for us. Whispers in her ear, soft hands caress mine, and the sun begins to rise. How did this happen? We finally utter aloud.
Leaving turned out to be the hardest thing I've done in ages. She won't let me go. I won't let her. Nothing matters. Planets seem to shrink in size. The World disappears and It's just her. How can I be sure? Is it real? Am I finally feeling what I've always hoped I would one day feel? How did this happen?
The dream continues on and days and nights fly by like they are all part of one long, singular experience. The romance lingers on into what seems to be the end of time. I've never wanted to cry in happiness, yet be the strongest I've ever been. Suddenly, the dream ends, and I was saddened to find that what I was beginning to think was real, was really just a dream. Eventually my sadness fades and I find myself happy to have experienced the dream at all, and hoping that perhaps, one day, the dream will come true.

Peasants
I would like to start off with a dream of my own, one which I thought was particularly bizarre.
In this dream I was a lowly peasant boy living and working on the land of a beautiful young queen. While I was working one day on the land, the queen rode through with her servants on horseback and saw me. She spoke silently to her followers and then pointed directly at me. After which, she rode on, and one of her followers picked me up and put me on the back of his horse where we followed the queen back to the castle. Once we arrived at the castle the queen escorted me on a tour of the halls, rooms, and gardens of the monstrous estate. I was walking behind the her highness in my rags with two servants following close behind as she spoke. At the end of the tour she explained to me that we were to be married and that I was to live with her in the castle. She did not explain why but only told me I did not have a choice in the matter.
After explaining my fate, my entire family suddenly appeared, and then we all appeared together in what seemed to be a foreshadow of the future. We all sat in a big living room with tapestries, lofty ceilings, stained glass windows, and a Christmas tree next to a huge fireplace. I sat next to my queen with what appeared to be my two children sitting opening presents on the floor beside us while my family and their children were doing the same scattered about the big room. I saw that I was happy, and then I woke from my dream.
