I've been thinking about dreams lately, thanks to Ruth Anna's blog post and Clare's short story in writing critique and I figured I'd share some of the strange dreams I've had. (Like the one where I was babysitting with Jennifer Lopez. That one was weird.)
Okay, so here is my favorite one so far. I'm planning on using this, so please, no one steal the idea. Thanks! :) I'm in a medieval time period with knights and ladies and kings and queens, etc. I'm a princess and I'm in love with a prince. My best friend is a servant, a cook's apprentice to be exact. The king who rules over this kingdom is cruel and for some reason throws my best friend in the dungeon. Like literally throws. She falls through several layers before she lands on the fourth one and watches the sky above disappear as the floors to the previous three levels of the dungeon close up. She's chained and tortured for some odd reason (the dream wouldn't give me that detail). They're trying to force her to touch a mirror. It's nothing fancy, a hand-held tarnished silver mirror, purple and green smoke curling around it's edges. She's crying, laying on the dirt floor, suffering and she gives in and pushes herself up and stretches to touch the blurry reflection of herself. She touches a finger to the edge of the mirror and she passes out from poison coating the edges. Meanwhile, I'm at a banquet, trying to save her by stealing the identities of two princes, one of which I'm in love with. It's almost like a foot-tall snow globe, showing a small town inside. Each person's is different. If you take the identity you can become that person. And then I woke up. Dissatisfying, right? I'm going to discover the strange meanings of some of those details someday and develop this into a full story. Have you had any weird dreams that you'd like to share?

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
