Am I sleeping?

Olga Yereshchenko

I found myself in a school-yard. It was my school. There was a lot of sand on the ground, like at former times it used to be a beach.
     Then I noticed my classmate from university. I didn’t even wonder what she was doing there. We had a chat, she told she was going to swim (I thought in a school pool) and offered me to join. I thought it was a good idea and agreed. Then something strange started to happen. In no time I realized we were sand skiing from the yard towards unknown place.

      I was really surprised when I saw around us an ocean. We were on the island. It was so amazing that I hardly believed it. Everything was so bright and juicy. Juicy sky, juicy waves, juicy plants with leaves and flowers raised up to the sun. There was something on my mind all that time. Suddenly I grasped what my conscience was trying to say.

       I realized it was a dream! I was sleeping in reality and at the same time walking barefoot somewhere on the small piece of land with enormous landscapes.  I detected that I had a smartphone with me, so a few moments later I was capturing everything that had caught my eye. I don’t know exactly why I was doing it, probably I hoped that somehow I could save it in my memory.

      I woke up. I remembered all that I saw in my dream and told it to my parents. And then... I was shocked! I found in my phone all the photos I made on that island! I showed it to my parents. How could such happen? We were extremely excited. My dream had trickled out from my head and appeared in reality! I almost lost my mind due to such miracle.

       And then... I woke up again. This time it was true reality. I felt happiness that I saw such double-dream. Of course, it was a pity that I couldn’t show anyone those photos. Instead, I have a great story to tell!
