Every now and then I wake up from a dream and feel like I’m coming out of a movie theater. It’s the closest I will ever be to acting in a movie. Only in the dreams, I’m not acting. It’s a reality that I am in, and for the duration of the dream, the drama is happening in real-time.
Like this dream that happened on the Full Moon, May 3rd, 2015.

I was flying a red and white ship, like a simplified Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, but it looked more like a gondola car and had windows all around. I was skimming over wild, mountainous terrain that resembled Alaska, but there were no roads, no signs of humans on the ground anywhere. It was pure wilderness and more rugged than anywhere I’ve ever been.
Another ship flew past me. It was smaller and more square. Neither of our ships had wings or propellers, they flew by some other quiet, strong force. The other ship was the cops, so I landed on a high cliff in the mountains above a big lake. The cops set their ship down next to mine.
Four of them boarded my ship and the head guy asked for my book and ID. He was really good-looking and we were attracted to each other, like in the movies. He showed my book to another cop standing near him and asked what I was doing out here.
I responded, “I thought it would be fun to rent the ship and sight-see.” He looked at me squarely for a long time, trying to decide if I was telling the truth or if I was on a mission, then said, “This place is pretty remote for sightseeing.” I said nothing and met his gaze.
The other man gave my book back to the captain. He handed it to me, “Be careful out here.”
As they turned towards the strange door on my ship to leave, I asked, “When you guys takeoff is the force going to pull me into the water?” He turned around with a flirty smirk on his face, “No, you’ll be fine.”
They boarded their ship. It lifted vertically and hovered next to mine for a moment, then they blasted off the cliff over the lake, pulling my ship into the water. My ship splashed then bobbed on the surface and I jumped out the roof hatch and stood on top of the floating wreck.
The police ship flew back by and landed in the same place on the cliff above me. The captain threw me a net and I used it to climb up the cliff. When I got to the top, my eyes shot daggers at the captain - I was pissed. He was smug and reveling in the fact that he just rescued me.
I started walking down a trail away from him and he yelled, “Run!” I saw a big pile of grizzly scat on the ground in front of me. There was a noise in the forest to my left. I looked toward the towering trees and saw a bear, the size of a mammoth, walking toward me. I spun around and ran to the edge of the cliff then jumped back into the lake to get away from the giant bear.

I made a note in my dream journal after writing the adventure down.
This dream was exhilarating and exhausting. I feel like I need to sleep ten hours to recover from all the excitement. I hope I dream the rest of this movie - I want to know how it ends.
Never mind dreaming it, write the rest of the story!!!!
