Fireblossom Friday "Perchance To Dream"

"To sleep, perchance to dream..." --Hamlet

Inspired by my desperate desire to sleep for about twenty hours, a desire that will not see fruition any time soon, I bring you a challenge to write about--or from--a dream. 

You can write about someone having a dream, or experiencing a dream-like state. You can write based on something you dreamt yourself. But let me be clear, I am talking about night-time, sleeping-type dreams, not dreams as in dreams of world peace or suchlike. 

So draw the blinds, get out the opium, dial up your sleep number bed, and run naked down the street to your old school to take a test you haven't prepared for. No haiku, no reruns.

  4. LOL........no world peace dreams? Shucks. I shall return. Am attending a waking nightmare this morning, so writing about a dream later will be a nice contrast. I always love Fireblossom Friday!!!!

  6. Apologies for my low profile of late. I have caught a vicious flu virus which has had me struggling to get through each day this week. I love this prompt, and hope I'm feeling well enough to attempt something this weekend.
