Jeremy's Dream

I know I'm sleeping. I'm dreaming. There's a carpet. The fabric looks like something out of a glamorous event. Like the red carpet events that I got to see for myself back in hollywood. What made the dream more off putting was I was the only person to be around. It was especially a strange feeling when I looked down at the carpet. Not a crimson red, yet a deep royal blue. I tred further down that path in a mist I could vaguely see through.
What had stopped my path was a stretch of long thing silver bars that made up a gate. The letter "V" was the center piece of the gate as a symbol. The sound of creaking metal wreathed from the gate as it opened away from me. The path begun to clear up from the fading mist as the strange blue carpet out stretched further.
I proceeded onward. To much of my amazement for my eyes, I saw before me a tremendous mansion that had stood three stories tall. It was held up by Greek Collums draped by blue banners with the same letters that was over the gate "VR" The windows were elegantly designed by mosaics of lunar phases. The walls of the mansion were as white as platinum reflecting moonlight. With every step I took down the carpet, I took the next one much slower to take in and view the majestic aura that was thwarted off by the building.
Before me stood two grand doors. Standing at heights of twin pine trees. A strange force overcame me to open the doors and take a look within this divine manshion. I stepped forward to see disappointment. The wallpaper that once was of beauty was slashed, faded, and peeling off of the walls. The furniture, dusted, ruined, or covered by white cloth. The smell of the atmosphere was of mildew. I look straight ahead across a great hall to see a sofa. Someone appears to be seated there. They're not alone. For a tall figure appears to be standing next to them with their hands folded infront of them. Along with another figure just a bit shorter than the one on the other side of the sofa
"Step forward movie star" A strange nasily voice thundered. It echoed throughout the lonely halls of the old Manshion. Despite my hesitation, I move towards the three to see for myself who these people were. I got a better view of the trio. The man who sat at the sofa had a large nose, bulging eyes, and a bit of an unsettling grin.
His teeth ungritted as he had said "Welcome to the velvet room. A realm which exist within dream and reality"
The tallest figure stepped forward. A man in a light blue tuxedo, with platinum hair styled on a pompadour with honey golden eyes. "Your fate has the most adventurous outcome" He said with a deep mesmerizing voice that resembled a baritone. The final figure stepped forward. A woman with long curly platinum hair complemented by a similar eye color of the tall man with an elegant dark blue dress with a sash . She even had a diamond butterfly hair pin. "With assured and careful consideration, the unfolding path with carry on smoothly" Her voice was that of a calming sonnet played on a harp.
The man on the sofa once again spoke "I am Igor, and these are my assistants. Lucy and Arthur. The three of us will aid you along your journey to dazzle the masses, and purge the evil within the shadows of the new town you will soon reside in" I was too confused, let alone unsure of what to say. Even if I had words, I don't really believe could say not one of them. "It is our pleasure to have you as a guest of the velvet room movie star" Igor delightedly said. "You have not yet awoken to your powers, for you will receive them once you have arrived at your destination and face your first adversary" Lucy and Arthur smiling both said "Break a leg movie star"
The mist moved into the house it got thicker, heavier; Though as if it were palpable. My eye began to shut. They tightened. Then they opened. I'm facing the back head of the passengers seat. I look off to my right to see a black screen of nightfall with white sprinkles. I look around the seat to see the headlights of the car overlooking the long unending road. It almost looked like the car wasn't moving at all. The radio quietly playing one of dads favortie 80s songs. What a strange dream. I thought to myself. Were they talking about my fate?.............my power........what could they possibly be talking about? Nudging it off as some weird ass dream, I slept it off. Shutting my eyes, and going back to sleep.
