Black Dog
I'm wearing a red dress, walking around in the forest with some people i know. we come across a black dog in our path. everyone runs away screaming, but I'm not afraid. it joins me as i continue down the path. we wander in silence for a while until we get to a small white building with a locked door. i take the key out of my pocket and unlock it. we walk in, and we are surrounded by black smoke. as the smoke clears, the lights flicker on. the inside is enormous with a winding staircase and a chandelier. the walls are coated in slimy snails, and the floor is covered in white rabbits. i push my way through up to the staircase, the black dog still following. when i reach the top of the stairs, there is a red door. it's hard to open, and i have to use all of my strength. i finally get in, and there's a blizzard in the room. but it isn't very cold. i look around for my black dog, but he's gone. i walk through the blizzard to the other end of the room where there's an old wooden door. i open this one, hoping it's not just another blizzard. i look inside the small, dark space and see a pair of eyes. i go forward and see that it's my black dog, eating white rabbits.

Empty Halls and Buzzing Walls
i was walking lazily down the stairs when i got a terrible taste in my mouth. i was all alone in the house, and i sashayed into the downstairs bathroom. i opened up the mirror cabinet and the entire bottom row was filled with toothbrushes of all different colors, but there wasn't any toothpaste. the first one i reached for was green. i closed the cabinet and examined my tongue in the mirror. it was a strange light brown color with speckles of white. i rinsed off the green toothbrush and started to vigorously brush my tongue. i rinsed it again then grabbed another colored toothbrush. i repeated this until i had used all the toothbrushes, none of which had been mine. i sighed contently and walked back up the stairs into my room. i sat on my bed to begin reading a book. my mom walked in, very upset, and she said "you guys really need to start cleaning up your stuff." she stepped out into the hallway, so i followed her. the upstairs hallway was completely cleared of everything. and i mean everything. the shelves were gone, the toy chest of games were nowhere in sight, and even the closet decided to pack up and leave. the only object left was an empty shell of a computer tower leaning casually against the far wall. she pointed at it like the ghost of Christmas yet to come, hand trembling and all. "that's where they've been getting in" she whispered. she then revealed a double-sided syringe with 2 separate substances contained within it. as she injected it into the walls, she said "we need to get every nail hole, or else they'll come out" After every injection, she'd cover the spot with a bile yellow or a faded brown colored circle sticker. i was very confused at this point, and i asked "what will?" she spun around and looked at me as if i were insane. "the hornets in the walls" she spat at me, exasperated. she stomped away into my little brother's room and ordered him to start the wall medicine. i crouched down and pressed my ear to the wall. i could hear the buzzing of a thousand angry insects, wanting and waiting to escape. i stood up quickly, but it was a little too quickly because i got very dizzy and light-headed. i fell backwards and i braced myself for the ground. i opened my eyes, and i was awake.

Summer Storm
last night i had the strangest dream. i was in a play, and i was told that my part was the most important. they handed me the script right before i walked on stage. i opened it up, and it was blank. i panicked, and i sat on the spot marked on the stage that told me where to stand. nobody on stage noticed me. i looked out into the audience, and they were all people i knew, but all aged around 7 or 8. i looked back to the people on stage, and everyone was wearing themed costumes. but the thing was, none of the themes matched. there was a hippie one, an Egyptian one, an astronaut one, and lots of others. one character wearing a Shakespeare costume spoke, "and now, let us begin a summer storm" all of the cast put on bunny ears and noses and started to dance around a large fire like they were doing some kind of ritual. they were chanting and making Indian noises and becoming more and more ridiculous with their dancing. the stage caught on fire, but none of them seemed to care. i stood up and tried to tell them what was happening but they just got louder. i turned to the audience, shouting at them to leave, but they were all just sitting there smiling, enjoying the show. i ran back stage and pulled a rope. it turned off the stage lights, and turned on the house lights. the fire was gone, the stage was empty, and the audience had disappeared. i turned to leave but there was an elephant in the way. "excuse me" i said, "i need to go home" the elephant looked confused, so i asked "do you speak English?" then the elephant opened it's mouth, and there was a record player in it. i put the needle on the track, and it started playing "Susie Q" (which is my alarm) then i woke up. it was so weird.
