Hello, my loves!
It's been a long day of dreaming my time away and wheeeee! It was fun!
i had another weird one . . . i was the apprentice of a great wizard and lived in this huge castle with him. Everybody thought i was a boy because we wanted them to (apparently, there was a huge shortage of females there due to a curse - none could be born in the town.). The wizard had cultivated a cover story of being a crazy old retired magician whose family was rich and had left this castle to him. The castle, it's self was more than a little magical and had a reputation of being haunted and appeared, to the outsiders, to be crumbling and no lights were ever seen in any windows above the second floor middle front windows.
i was a good apprentice and my wizard was an amazing wizard. it was a lovely and sometimes exciting life that we both enjoyed tremendously.
After my first five years, i was allowed to invite my family out to see me. Well, my parents couldn't be there, but all my sisters and my two best friends showed up in a splendid coach that glowed in the dark night pulled by four pink horses. This drove the town boys crazy and they tried to storm the castle. We were all hidden in the basement area that was the center of all the secret passages in the whole castle. The wizard transformed himself into a matronly yet beautiful Amazonian and went to answer the door.
With the magic mirror we watched some of what happened until the wizard decided it was too much and blanked it. We were all terrified and then, the next thing we know, we are all on this huge ship, flying through the clouds! A short while later, we drift down, slide gently into the water and our sails filled with air that blew the clouds away. Our parents were suddenly there, too and everyone was thrilled but me.
There was never-ending food, a magic oven that you simply had to keep lit and anything you wished for would emerge, a pantry that changed daily and wardrobes that were wonderfully whimsical and dressed us in different themes every day. It was every kid's dream come true, but all i wanted was to go 'home'.
We sailed along forever, the ship had it's own course and needed no crew so everyone was free to have fun. Instead of playing, i worked constantly on trying to to locate the wizard or find out what had happened to him. Everyone else was having a great time and seemed to forget about me but i was not shocked, they'd lived 5 years without me, hadn't they? They seemed surprised to see me when i did run into them, like they'd not recalled why they were here.
i had a good life on the boat, being mostly nocturnal and keeping up with my studies along with my quest. i never did find the wizard, but i was getting close towards the end of the dream.
Too bad i woke up.
