Lucid Dreams

By Marcus Smith

A few years ago, a young woman was found dead in her apartment.  Everyone believed that she died from an overdose, but her boyfriend knew that she died from something worse.  

He knew that she was taking sleeping pills, but she only took one every night, so an overdose was out of the question.  He started to do some research on his girlfriend's computer, until he found a website about "controlling your dreams."  The idea was called "lucid dreams," and like the website said, it's about a person controlling their own dreams because they are aware that they are dreaming.  At first, he thought it was a stupid idea because there was no way a person could control their own dreams, but later on he changed his mind.  

Once nighttime came, he took his girlfriend's sleeping pills and drifted off to sleep.  Once he started dreaming, he started to see his family, childhood friends, co-workers, and even his dead girlfriend.  They were all in white, standing around him.  His girlfriend took his hand and asked to come dance with her.  At first, he thought this couldn't be real, but then he realized that it was a dream and that he was controlling everything.  While dancing with her, he noticed a black fog coming at them.  He warned everyone to run, but no one moved.  Then, he tried to run himself, but couldn't move.  The black fog grabbed him, and he never woke up from his sleep again.
