Dream Reflections

Chapter 1 (The Veil of Dreams)

Daniel Joshua

I'm in that moment someone entered my room without knocking 'Daniel, Daniel', my mom said, 'Wake up is time for breakfast', 'huh mom I'm on my way soon', in a sleepy tone.

Once I open my eyes I realize all the things that happened it was a dream that I have had last night, I hissed and turn to take my towel hanging on my towel rack then I enter the toilet,

I didn't take much time to brush my teeth and took a shower for a while, after I'd finished wearing my clothes I just follow downstairs, seeing all the family in the kitchen starting to eat their breakfast.

Dad says, "Here is my son", he smiled at me, "Morning Dad, morning Mom," I greeted them, sitting beside my little sister "Chloe", I kiss her on her cheek
and then she wiped it without talking to me, "Little dull, what's wrong with you in the early morning?"

I asked her in a whispering tone, "Did you put a lot of sugar in your cereal?" I asked her again,
"Dan is only four cubes," Chloe said angrily, "sweetheart, I can't let sugar poison you at this early age of yours", Said Mom.

"Honey, let go of them take this honey instead," Dad said.
"Thanks, Dad, that's why I love you more," Chloe said excitedly,
"So you love Dad more than me? Let me see who will take you to school and your friend's houses, "I said in a teased tone.

"Honey ignores her since she loves her dad more than us," Mom Said.
"Mom I'm just kidding I love you all", she said, we both laugh and hug each other, "so Dad I'm going, little angel take your bag," I said, "Honey come back soon we will eat dinner all together"
"Okay Mom as you said" I retorted. She kissed both of me and Chloe on our cheeks,

And Dad waved his hand and said, "See guys at a time, "Okay Dad" Chloe said.
I pulled myself into the driver's seat, and Chloe did the same, "Little angel, today I will not wait for you long at school in the parking lot while you're busy with your friends." "Huh, Dan, but me I usually waited for you until you were done with your friends", "oh little, ain't you heard what Mom said?" "I heard it, "she answered in bothering tone.

"Dan, you know what? Sam has finally said he loves me", "Wow really, did you love him too?"I don't know for now, "hm no you love him," I said in a teased tone,
"Dan, I didn't tell you that..!"

The moment I drove Chloe to her mid school
I directly headed to my school called Ravenwood College.

As I drove towards Ravenwood College, my mind couldn't help but wander back to the dream I had the previous night. It felt so vivid as if the events had truly taken place. I couldn't shake off the lingering feeling of unease that clung to me.

The dream had been strange, filled with inexplicable occurrences and unfamiliar faces. I found myself in a world that seemed both familiar and foreign at the same time. It was as if reality had shifted and blurred the lines between the waking world and the realm of dreams.

I parked my car in the familiar spot near the entrance of Ravenwood College. The campus buzzed with energy as students hurried to their classes. As I stepped out of the car, the remnants of the dream lingered in my mind, refusing to fade away.

Walking through the corridors, I couldn't help but feel a sense of detachment from the world around me. The faces of my classmates and teachers seemed hazy as if I were viewing them through a foggy lens. It was as if the dream had cast a shadow over my perception of reality.

As I entered the classroom, my friend Sarah greeted me with a warm smile. "Hey, Daniel! You look a little distracted today. Everything okay?"

I forced a smile and nodded. "Yeah, I just had a strange dream last night. It's still lingering in my mind."

Sarah's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Oh, tell me about it! I love hearing about dreams. They can be so fascinating."

I hesitated for a moment, unsure if I should share the details of my dream. After a brief internal struggle, I decided to open up. Perhaps talking about it would help me make sense of the strange visions that haunted my sleep.

"Well, it was a mix of familiar and unfamiliar things," I began. "I found myself in a different world, a place that resembled our reality but was twisted in some way. There were people I knew, but they seemed... different somehow. And there was this underlying sense of foreboding as if something ominous was about to happen."

Sarah leaned in, captivated by my words. "That sounds intense! Did you figure out what it all meant?"

I shook my head. "Not yet. But I can't help but feel that it's trying to tell me something. Like there's a hidden message within the dream."

Sarah pondered for a moment. "Dreams can often be reflections of our subconscious thoughts and emotions. Maybe something is going on in your life that you need to pay attention to."

Her words struck a chord within me. It was true; there had been some recent changes in my life that had left me feeling unsettled. Perhaps my dream was a manifestation of my inner turmoil, a way for my subconscious mind to process and make sense of it all.

As the day went on, I found myself lost in my thoughts, contemplating the meaning behind the dream. The classes blurred together, the words of the professors fading into background noise. All I could focus on was the enigma that unfolded in my sleep.

After the final bell rang, signalling the end of the school day, I made my way back to the parking lot. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the campus. The dream still lingered in my mind, refusing to release its grip.

As I drove home, the events of the day slowly faded into the background. My thoughts returned to the dream, and I couldn't help but wonder if there was more to it than to meet the eye. What hidden truths lay within its depths? What secrets did it hold?

Little did I know that my journey into the realm of dreams was only just beginning. The dream reflections would soon become a
