There's a place I like to hide...

A doorway that I run through in the night.
The Shared Dream Meme

Your head has grown heavy and your eyes weary. You fall asleep and the world of dreams calls to you.

The mind is a magical thing and your dreamscape is made of your thoughts that are more expansive than the sea. You slip further from your world and into the dream. Every possibility or impossibility is possible here. Neither physics nor time nor universes have any meaning here. If you can think it, you can create it.

Rules!
1. Create a dream for your character. Post it!
1a. If you want, pick one of the prompts below.
2. Please do not leave a blank comment.
3. Find someone else's dream and respond.
4. Be creative! Have fun!

Prompts
1. The Nightmare -- What do you fear the most? Snakes? Bugs? Spiders? Clowns?

2. The Mundane -- Maybe you've sat down to send a work email. Maybe you're out walking your pet. Maybe you're doing something so boring you might as well be awake for.

3. The Freefall -- You fell asleep too quickly and your brain sent an electric surge through your body to wake you up. Instead of waking up due to the sensation of falling, you remain asleep and have been falling for thirty minutes! The ground never gets any closer.

4. The Chase -- Run! Run! Run! What are you running from? Who is chasing you? No matter how fast you run, no matter what obstacles are in the way, they always keep pace.

5. The Nice -- It's just a nice dream. It's not good. It's not bad. It's just nice. Maybe you're sitting at the coffeeshop you like and enjoying a nice drink. Maybe you're chilling at the beach. The dream could be better but it's not. It's just so nice.

6. The Personal Hell -- Maybe your mother is trying to set you up on an endless string of dates. Maybe your family keeps asking questions you'd rather not answer. Maybe you're stuck behind the returns desk at a big box store with an endless wave of stupid customers. Whatever it is, it is your own personal hell and just a bit extra than whatever you face in your everyday life.

7. The Surrealist-- Spires of pink cotton-candy tower in the distance. Plastic swatch watches melt off of floating shelves. A giant baby's head patrols the area. And there you are, jumping on a trampoline. Flipping in the air, sometimes you land and sometimes you float there.

8. The Memory-- It's exactly as it says on the tin. It's a memory from your past. Whether it's a good memory or not, is up for debate.
