Anyway so i suppose every story has to have a beginning so I guess here goes nothing. My names Hope Sawyer. My names hope cause i almost died of cancer. Like all people with cancer, I have a chance
“Dreams aren’t always perfect,” the woman on stage said, looking away from my script and at the crowd, the light from the spotlights reflecting in my eyes and on my face. “After all, don’t all nightmares start out as dreams?” She paused, giving the audience a moment to ponder this. “All the good you think you’re doing, all the greatness you think you’ll achieve will end something if it’s not the right thing to do.” She cleared my throat, and a string of my brown hair fell onto my shoulders. “So
Did you ever have a feeling when something is so hard to believe that it feels like it’s all just a dream? I have experienced this before, and let me tell you, that this is not the best feeling in the whole world. Well, this is my story. I found out I was moving one day after school. I just came home from school and I joined my mom in the kitchen. “Hi!” I said. “Hi Ananya!” My mom replied, “I have something important to tell you...” “Ok…” I said slightly confused. “Your dad talked to his boss today
The dream is always the same. I’m always running through a thick misty forest with howling winds, suffocating myself with the feeling of being lost. Still wondering, searching, seeking for a way out, but never seeming to achieve the escape from my inner self. Waking up in torment with the feeling of being lost swirling in my stomach. When will it end? Will I ever have a pleasant dream again? Will it always be the same repetitive dream that I cannot escape from? All these questions rush through my
The clouds must have better dreams than me. The clouds danced as I peered through slits, even as the glare from the window impaired me. My fingers tapped against the window in perfect syncopation to the piece I played later, yet no butterflies stirred inside me. If they did not insist, I would have worn pajamas instead, but then the performance would be at least have been intriguing enough to bear. Albeit it was only two o’clock in the afternoon, my lids drooped over my eyes from the blazing light

I woke again from the same dream that I have been having for weeks or months I don’t remember anymore.The dream was about two older people coming towards a young girl and taking her from her bed while she was sleeping, they just took her, as they were taking her off the property she woke up and started kicking and screaming. Then she says a bad man killed her. Than she would say both of them were sick, very sick. It has been happening ever since we moved near Lidtke Mill. I went out to go get the
When I was little, I was the girl that always followed the rules, and was a little bit shy. I don’t remember much about my past except for this and a couple other things, but I hear a lot of stories about what I did. We were at a wedding reception for one of my dad’s friends and I was running around with Andrew and Emily my older siblings.

The imagination can become a way to tell stories by verbal means, or through writing. The reason I believe dreams are like storytelling is that I turn my creative dreams into short stories or forms of poetry.
