No More I’s Capitalized… Just the You’s.

This dream…….. I don’t know about it….. haha.

Anyway…

Once again, I was in some dream city that I’ve never been to before. (This one wasn’t the same town as the other one, though. But it did feel as if I’d dreamed of this place before.) The town was about the size of Lamar - maybe a bit bigger.

I was with a group of people up in the Northwest corner of town. We were at some kind of hangout spot - it was kind of like a warehouse on the edge of town. Normally, I think we stayed outside in the little river that ran by with trees and things, but today it was looking like it might storm.

There were a lot of people in the warehouse. (I seem to remember Mrs. Havenstein) And Mandi was there as well.

And then the crazy things start happening. Someone (who was standing near a window) yells that she can see some strange things flying around in the sky.

All of us run outside to see what they were, and here’s what we saw:

Five slender but rather long DRAGONS. Yeah, dragons, flying around in the sky, circling around each other. Then, one by one, each would fly out of the group and make its own announcement, going like this:

The first one came out, looked straight down at us and said, “I am thunder and lightning.”

The second came, and said, “I am fire.”

The third, “I am tearing wind.”

The fourth, “I am poison,”

And I don’t remember what the fifth one said it was, because I was thinking of the thing he said after. He said, “I am _______. We must come and go before the horses do.”

With that, every dragon except the first one jetted up into the clouds, and the first one roared, and all of us suddenly knew how very dangerous of a situation we were in.

All of us ran back into the warehouse, very scared that we might be snatched up by the thunder and lightning dragon. And after we were in there, we saw what the dragons meant by their names, because a huge lightning storm started.

We stayed in there for a long time, and Mom and Dad had become so worried that they risked a trip through the storm and made it to the warehouse, too. Mandi was keeping us updated with the weather thing on her phone. They had special announcements of the freak dragon flying around, and kept updating the people about where it had been seen last. Finally, I got up the courage to go get rid of the dragon.

There was an old sword in the warehouse. (I don’t know why I chose to use a sword, haha) so I took it and told my family that I was going to fight the dragon. My mom, of course, said no, and Mandi was almost crying, but my dad said he wanted to go with me. I told him he couldn’t, because his knee would give out on him again, but he kept insisting. Mandi told me the last place the dragon had been seen was at the fair grounds, South of town.

I don’t remember what the closing argument was, but I ended up taking off alone. Outside, there were lightning bolts coming down almost as thick as rain. I made it to my jeep safe, though, and started down the roads toward the fairgrounds. It’s strange: I can remember most of the route through town. I remember passing police cars all in a panic, they didn’t care at all whether I was speeding or not.

A bit before I got there, I was passing a little park think off in a little valley to my right. When I looked in it, I saw a dark, moving figure almost kind of dancing around on the ground. I almost stopped and got out of the car, because I thought it might be the dragon, but it didn’t seem as big. And soon a police car raced to the scene, and I decided to just let them deal with whatever it was.

I kept going, and made it to a big touristy thing on the river. (It was the only way to cross) What they would do is I would park my jeep, give my name and the keys to someone who would drive my jeep around to the other side of the river, and I would have to walk through all the touristy stuff in this big building on the water. Anyway, I don’t know why they were still running. I guess they didn’t think much of how people would cross in emergencies.

Anyway, a scared dude came out and got my jeep, and I ran inside. I kept running through the halls of the place, which was filled with scared, bewildered people. I felt pretty stupid with a sword… I remember running through I big movie theatre before getting out and seeing some kind of movie about the T.V. show “The Fairly Oddparents”.

I made it out, and saw my jeep and ran to it, but found two guys standing outside my open driver door. And then I noticed that the storm outside had cleared.

I said to the two guys at my jeep, “What are you doing?” Both turned around with a look on their face that lets you know they’ve been doing something suspicious. One was an older man with blonde hair, and the other guy was probably my age, and he wore a hat. I ran up to the door and looked in the jeep and saw it pretty trashed, with all sorts of wine bottles in it. “Can we help you with something?” the older man said.

“What are you doing with my jeep?” I asked.

They both looked confused. “This jeep is ours,” said the older one again, getting kind of agitated.

Then I heard another voice from down the row of cars announce, “Blake?”

I realized that this wasn’t my jeep, and that the man had just brought my jeep around and was calling for me. So I apologized and asked the two guys about the dragon. They still seemed suspicious, but I couldn’t tell why. They said that the dragon had gone on its own accord, “probably somewhere else,” the older one said. And the storms had stopped right after.

The last thing I remember thinking of was wondering if the second dragon (fire) would torment the town like the first one did.
