Shortbread, Jayce (from the game, League of Legends) and I walked into an old temple, away from the summer dusk. The entrance soon narrowed into a corridor with Jayce almost filling the space from his height and armor. Torches hung in intervals though out the hallway, leading to a room glowing yellowy with contained fire. In the centre, was a large topographic map laid out on a table. On it, the mountains were tall, the sea was low, and in between were layers of soil distinguishing the height of several areas. Landmarks and villages were placed in certain areas where life was sustainable, and on top of the mountains, at the edge of the map, was the temple the three of us were currently in.

A corner of the table was empty. Shortbread dropped three, red, hardcovered books on it, and I flipped through the first volume, disappointed in a lack of pictures. Jayce picked up the third, its pages and references were in graphic format, much like in a comic book. We saw the map move, and natural disasters formed one after another. When the ground shook and debris fell from the ivory ceiling, we understood the map reflected the world in the present.

Though we couldn't see the people, we prevented as many deaths as we could. We deflected hurricanes from villages, and built levies for floods. I can't remember much of what happened, or for how long did we have this task, but the disasters stopped abruptly. We looked at each other, worn and breathless, and somewhere in my mind, I heard a whisper. I can't recalled what it said, but it was it was clear - we were led here by a divine being.

I woke up in my warm bed to the sound of my husband, Cookie, entering the house. It had to be around nine in the morning, as I took a nap right after he left for work. It was day when I peered through the window. I asked him why he was home, and he told me he had finished work early.

I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom to do my morning routine. Instead of the ugly, chocolate-colour floor, we had nice, white tiles. The furniture had been moved around, and we were also missing our toilet and shower. Our two desktop computers were set up on the counter tops, in the middle of the room. I peered into the living room to find many of our furniture had also been moved. I began moving them back into their original positions.

I heard someone scratching at our front door. Horrified, there were broken patches on our door, and we could peek outside as much as they could inside. Our lock was reachable from the patches, and I watched as a preppy, old lady which white hair and a baby pink blazer tried to get in. I called to her, and she demanded I open the door, claiming we were in her apartment. Surprised by this, I opened the door without thinking, and the lady barged in, yelling. I looked down the corridor, and saw a blind man playing the piano. I wondered if we really were in the wrong apartment unit.

I was a lord, visiting a castle built with dark stones. I was young - an age or so before I began puberty, and my hair was dandelion blond. I was well known to the court, and I enjoyed playing with everyone. On this day, I woke up from a terrible dream in my dark room. I raced to the hallway, lit in sunlight. It was modern, and glass covered every panel around me, but I didn't realized it was out of century. I rushed in one direction, finding myself in a library, and soon after exiting it, I was in a busy business centre. A lady in pastel clothing was watching me, and she took my arm. She scolded me for running indoors. When I told her where I wanted to go, she pointed me in the right direction, but my surroundings soon changed and I reawoke (as I was dreaming in a dream).

With guidance from my last dream, I ran the right direction through the hall, and arrived in time as a business meeting was happening, I yelled to a duke, and the man he spoke to. Just as they turned to the disruption - me - , two, silenced bullets ripped through the air and killed them both. Everyone around me didn't scream, but they gasped and backed away from the bodies. I watched in horror, watched as a bright green starter pack box of YuGiOh cards fell to the floor, but no one was phased. I stooped to pick up the box, and the queen, with long, golden hair, wrapped an arm around my shoulders, her long sleeve draping over my back. I looked up at her worriedly, but she was smiling down, telling me I had a special gift for seeing the future in my dream. She walked with me away from the scene as she told me I was going to be an heir someday when my father passed away. I'd inherit this dark castle.

Cookie and I were hanging out at his house. It was large and empty, except for the very basic of furniture. We were in the computer room, that looked much like the one at Willow. I don't remember how this happens, but the engagement ring he'd given me broke into three pieces. The gold, thin band turned brass, and the diamond wasn't clear anymore. I held the pieces in my hands, showing them to Cookie, who assured me it was okay it was broken. I was upset and wanted to go to the store he bought it from to see if they could fix it. He led me away from the library, and upstairs, overlooking the front door. I remember his laughter sounded much like Robin from Young Justice. I hit his chest with my fist lightly, telling him not to laugh like that. Secretly, I liked his laugh. I kissed him, thinking he was cute. We heard the front door open, and peered below to see his older sister and brother-in-law walk in. We thought we had the house to ourselves for the day.

I dreamt Cookie and I were at Muskoka for our wedding. The grass had started to grow back after the harsh winter and the sky was grey. We sat outside our cottage, on a picnic table eating lunch when Guava and her husband, Avocado, came over from the parking lot with big, smiling faces. They went into the cottage and chose a room. The walls were pure white and light filled the room from a massive window overlooking the back. It was a small room with two beds, but they seemed comfortable. When they finished settling in, they came out and joined us on the table. Soon Mango came by and joined us sitting around the table.

I can't remember most of my dream.
I was sitting inside Cookie's house as he did renovations with his company's crew. It was a three-story house - different from his current house. The walls were creamy yellow, with matching carpets. I sat in the empty rooms where work wasn't being done.
With Cookie done work, he and I sat outside, in front of his house, under the night sky. A van pulled up with our high school friends, and Almond came out from the front seat, telling us to wait for the second van because they had more nickles for us. We were going on a night trip to a nickle arcade.

Lying in bed, I couldn't sleep. It was late at night, and pitch black except for a sliver of outlines; my eyes wouldn't adjust to the lack of light. Normally, I'd see more, but not tonight. I heard rustling and I sat up, finding Cookie coming to my bed. Having trouble sleeping as well, we laid down, getting ready to sleep, and in comfort, I wrapped my arms around his warm torso. All was well until I got up, though unsure why I did. In the living room was the figure of a middle aged lady, her greying hair in a loose bun, and wore a white blouse and full purple skirt with a bustle and underwire. With a finger, she beckoned me, and I followed her, though without sight, I walked into a couch and she was gone. Hesitant to tell my mother there was a ghost in our home (which was strange to me since we were the first to live in this house), I crawled back into bed with my fiance. I couldn't hug him when I tried - he wasn't there. When I looked, something grabbed my left wrist, trying ro pull me into the wall. It didn't seem like Cookie, and I thought, it couldn't be him! "Run! Run!" I tried to yell, but my mouth couldn't form the words. I kept trying, moaning the sound as my lips were sealed and thick like goo. It was best I made the racket and saved my family than everyone being devoured in the same way. "Run, run, run..."

*[I woke up right after. I was sleeptalking.]
