My name is Dante Vernon, it was my fathers idea for the name. Hes a super book nerd and has read many great works of literature ultimately leading him to become an English teacher. Among his favorite works was The Devine Comedy, also known as The Inferno of Dante written by Dante Alighieri. Oddly enough my fathers imagination passed down to me. I am a lucid Dreamer
It started when I was a kid, one night I fell asleep..sort of. It was very different than sleep. My room was stuck in a twilight haze. At that age I was terrified of monsters under my bed so I quickly sat up and as I turned I saw my body on my bed. I thought I was dead and so I did the only thing I could think of. I screamed and scared myself awake. And from that night on every night I want to sleep I would awaken in the same twilight shrouded room, however it didn't take long before I realized I can control things do anything I wanted be anywhere I wanted. When I fell asleep I became the God of my world
It's not like in the media or movies, there are some rules from what I've experienced. For starters when you wake up the world resets and nothing stays the same. There doesn't ever seem to be much light the dream world is always shrouded in a twilight haze, I've tried to fix that believe me. Another thing that seems odd to me is that mirrors don't show reflections they're always white and foggy, I've only recently discovered this however I've never noticed it before.
Dante sat back in his chair staring at his computer screen. "This is good enough for now. It is do in a few weeks after all and I only need two pages" I glanced over at the clock that displayed 3:07 AM "Witching hour hm?" He let out a long yawn and made an annoyed face "Nuh uh..nope I need one more day" He had been awake for almost two days now, with his thinking if he could stay awake longer he could sleep longer and get more time to explore his dream world. He got up amd walked over to his fridge taking out an energy drink "not today my friend".
