Secrets of Sylvia

For the past year now, I've been able, from time to time, control my dreams. It took some practice as I would try something too drastic in my dreams and would wake up briefly after. I have to be careful to not be too conscience during my dreaming.

This week, I had a lucid dream. I showed up to a Junior High School where I teach with no pants. I was mortified! I briefly wondered if maybe I could pull my pants out of my bag and slip them on under my desk without anybody noticing.

I didn't think it would work. I was so embarrassed. I began scolding myself in my mind for walking around the apartment in my underwear, because now I was forgetting to put pants on before work.

But then my sense kicked in. Would I really forget to put pants on before work? I thought, "This must be a dream." I wasn't totally sure, but apparently the stress was really getting to me in my dream. I decided to jump out the window. If I could fly, it was a dream. If not, well, then, I wouldn't have to worry about it anymore, would I?

So I went to the window, still pantsless, and I lightly flew up into the air. I kept myself calm, knowing too much excitement would wake me.

I flew around, then decided to leave the country for a while (I'm totally stressed out here, I need a break). So I flew towards home.

On the way, I played with some kids in a playground in another part of the world. Guess I can't leave that teacher part of me behind...
