When I was nine years old I had a dream that I woke up in the middle of the night with a bunch of miniature ballerinas dancing around the room. For some reason this dream felt extremely realistic and I felt awed and amazed at all of tiny dancers in the room. I thought they were beautiful. When I laid down to go to sleep the tiny ballerinas danced all around me until I fell asleep. The next morning I woke up and for a split second I thought it was all real. |
