Faint voices reached my ears as everything materialized around me. Shielding my eyes from the light that was pouring through the window, I slowly sat up. Taking in my surroundings, I noticed I was back home sitting in bed. I looked around the cluttered room confusedly. How did I get here? Pulling back my comforter, I climbed out of bed and made my way outside to the hallway.

"Zara? Is that you?" a voice called from downstairs.

"Yeah, mom," I called back.

"Well, it's about time you got up! Come on down, I saved a bit of breakfast for you." I descended the stairs, still confused as to how I ended up back home and made my way to the kitchen.

"Are you alright, dear?" Mom asked as I took my usual seat at the table.

"Yeah, fine. I had the strangest dream, though." Yeah, a dream. It was all just a bizarre dream . . . that felt way too real.

"What was it about?" Mom asked with interest as she handed me a plate with bacon and pancakes on it.

"Well, there was a man," Mom cocked an eyebrow at me suspiciously but I ignored it and continued, "and a blue police box."

"Why was there a police box?"

"It was his ship. A space ship."

"Why was it a police box?"

"I don't know, he likes it like that I guess?" I snapped, getting annoyed that she kept interrupting me. "Anyway, we went on these crazy adventures, fighting aliens, saving the world, going back in time and meeting famous people - all kinds of things. It was so realistic! Then, before I woke up, we had accidentally ended up on some alien ship and he was taken away from me. When he escaped and came back for me, the ship was coming apart and we had to run out fast. We found his ship and flew off but the lights shut off and when they turned back on, there was a statue of an angel standing in the middle of the control room. The man told me not to look away because it would kill me if I did." Mom gave me a really strange look. "Then the ship shook and I fell and hit my head hard, making me pass out." I stopped for a second replaying the events in my head. "Then I woke up . . ."

"That's weird," Mom said slowly. ". . . What was his name?" Oddly, I couldn't remember. Usually I could remember almost everything about my weird dreams but I couldn't remember the man's name. I knew he told me . . .

As Mom got up to clean up the dishes from her and Dad's breakfast, I started thinking about when I hit my head in my . . . . dream. I had actually felt the pain in my head when it happened. Curiously, I touched the spot where I had hit it. I was so surprised to feel a huge bump there that the pain didn't register right away. Stupidly, I pushed my palm to the bump and winced away at the pain. My head started throbbing.

"What are you doing?" Mom asked.

"There's a big bump on my head."

"Well stop touching it." She slapped my hands down and walked to the fridge. "I'll get you some ice."

"Mom, it's in the same spot where I hit my head in my dream."

"That's odd," she answered absentmindedly as she searched the freezer for an ice pack.

"Maybe it wasn't a dream," I wondered aloud, rubbing my head.

She slapped my hand down again. "Stop touching it." She pushed the ice pack to my head and I winced away. She held it there. "Those things aren't even real,it was just a dream."

I knew she was right but that dream was too real for my liking. And a bump on my head where I had hit it in my dream? I don't know, it was all so weird.

"Well, whatever," Mom sighed. "Oh! Jesse called while you were sleeping, says she wants to meet you at the mall later."

"Later when?" I asked.

Mom glanced at the clock. "Uhmm, now."

Jumping from my chair and shooting a quick glare at Mom, I ran upstairs to get dressed. Hopefully I could talk to Jesse about this weird dream stuff and hopefully she can help me feel sane again.

Hopefully.
