You have no idea how much I Love this story!
The dream. Dreaming that it's only a dream. The ol' "Ha! I dreamed this so many times, and now it's not a dream, it's happening for real" - only to wake up and find it's - you guessed it - A DREAM!
You totally captured this thing that haunts me and I never talk about it but you did so now I feel kinda liberated and totally grateful to you for daring to describe this weird dream thing. :) (And if nobody else has any idea what it's like, don't bother telling me so.)
Thank you @mr-neil! This fantastic! Make sure I remember to recommend it in the Tuesay Nominate a Favorite Freewrite post
Thank you, it is amazing how a freewrite story can turn out when all you've got in you head is the first line. Then the dream sequence just continued. The most fun write I've done for a long time.
And here again we see the beauty of the freewrite - the surprises! The stories and characters that unfold. I love the recurring dream theme and the ever-thinning divide between dreaming and waking. You capture it well.
