I have always remembered this dream. I was still in preschool i think possibly kindergarten so maybe around 4 or 5. I was secretly spiderman in my dream and nobody knew not even my friends. We knew this "bad guy" who happened to be a scientist with many technological inventions was up to something really bad. So at night my friends and I snuck out and went to his "layer" which was in a storage unit place. The storage units were creamy whitish cement walls with orange garage doors. My heart was racing and I was nervous and mad that he was so bad. we got to his unit and peeked around the corner to see him standing there and he saw us. I looked up at the night sky and at the stars with fear and hope. I somehow got into my spiderman costume and went inside. He had these half-sphere-like lights on the ground and each had some kind of picture on them. They glowed a soft pinkish yellow color. The mad scientist(my arch enemy)had this mechanical arm and it was a very sharp point on the end no hand. He said which ever one of us can hop on the lights and get to the end first wins the arm. I won but he just laughed and said "Ha Ha Ha! This is my arm you can't have it!" and i replied "But I won!" he said "you think I care! I'm not going to give you my arm!!!" then he de-masked me and took my top half of my costume/disguise off and said i knew who you were! then he stabbed me with his arm 4 times where if you drew lines to connect the holes it would be a large square. I was screaming and crying. Then my sister woke me up to ask me what was wrong because i was actually crying in my sleep. |
