The Tree
by Wyatt Hadden
(Cherry Hill, NJ, USA)
About a month ago, I had a very odd dream. Most of my dreams make sense and usally I can get a feel for what there saying. But this one just made me go "Wtf just happened?". Anyway, I was in this big snowie field. Near the edge of this feild was a tree trunk, with no leaves on it, and a sort of small door way on the bottom of it. I was inside that doorway, crouching inside the tree. I was stuck, I could not move at all.
A friend came to me and asked if I wanted to comeout and go with him to a store, and I said "nah, maybe another time" and he walked away. After a while of sitting, I got up and decided to see what was outside, and what I saw was odd. On one of the four edges of the snowy feild, there was a mall with a lot of people I knew. They were telling me to come with them, but I ignored them and crawled back into the tree. After that, I woke up.
And for my first lucid dream ever: I was 6 or 7 when I had this dream, and in it I was infront of this fancy restraunt. All of my familly were inside, and I was outside. We were there for some sort of celebration. I was standing outside with my hands in my pocket when I randomly thought "Giant floating banana!". I dont know why this thought occured, but when I looked to my left, sure enough there was a giant floating banana. At first I was like " Oh hey, a floating banana! I always wanted to see one." Then ignored it. Then 5 secs lator I looked at it again and said "Wait a min... there is no thing as a giant floating banana... so this must be a dream!" I then lost ludicity... but regained it while sitting in the restraunt on a chair. Then I said "Man, when am I going to wake up from this dre-" Then I woke up.
