Journal Prompt: Describe the last vivid dream you had. (Tip: Writing about your dreams works best in the morning, as soon as you wake up. I’ve been able to turn several of my dreams into short stories — with time and effort, these are the starts of something bigger.)
Story Starter: Write a story that ends with the line “That’s when I knew I had messed up in a major way.”
The Sassy Jae Journey 
For as long as I can remember , I’ve never been the biggest dreamer. I have dreams, just not often or maybe I do and I just don’t remember by the time I wake up. Like right now I’m trying to think of what my last vivid dream was and at first not a lot came to my mind, but then I started thinking and the more I thought the more I remembered. Not a lot of people may know this but in the past I have suffered a lot from sleep paralysis, and there’s a specific dream that came to my mind because with this dream I had it 3 nights in a row, and I would wake up at exactly 3:33 am for those 3 nights.
Now this dream was one of the most vivid dreams I’ve ever experienced to the point that when it came to night time I was too scared to sleep in my room because I was afraid of it happening again. I’ve always experienced countless nights having sleep paralysis, so me having a night of sleep paralysis was no surprise to me, but what did come as a surprise was that with this specific time, I would wake up at exactly 3:33 am. For those 3 nights I don’t remember doing anything unusual before going to sleep to be having that type of dream, but I was watching random YouTube videos and along the way I fell asleep, then suddenly I felt myself wake up but I wasn’t fully awake and I couldn’t breath or move. I could see everything in my room around me and I always sleep with my lights off so it was dark and I couldn’t see much, but then I started to see this dark figure next to my bed which turned out to be a person. I couldn’t see their face , I just knew it was a person because of the shape of their shadows and they were tall. This person started started taunting me because I couldn’t breath or move and upon seeing them I felt scared, and the more scared I got the more I would see because not long after, I saw another person at the other side of my bed and before I knew it there was people who’s faces I couldn’t see , all around my bed just watching and laughing at me. It was like it was fun for them and they liked that I couldn’t breath or move, and their goal seemed to be trying to grab me but they could never reach me which was odd. Then this weird flash started to happen, kind of like a flash from a camera and as it was happening they were all trying to reach out to me, which made me more scared and also made it harder for me to breath and all I wanted was to wake up or move or do something, anything but I couldn’t. I had to just lay there and watch all of this going on around me.
This dream ended with all of these people reaching out and almost grabbing me and flashes of light going off and on, and even then I still couldn’t see who they were or if they really were people. As soon as I woke up I gasped for air and I sat up, and my next instinct was to grab my phone and check the time and it was exactly 3:33 am. That seemed like an odd number to me and I remember a friend telling me something about that time of night I just couldn’t remember what so I googled it. The answer that came up was that the number “333” represents the mind, body, and spirit which is “the perfect balance”. In a way it would make sense as to why I would wake up at that time, because that’s the time when your body is most connected to itself but it was still odd to me. This dream happened exactly the same for 3 more nights, and for those 3 nights I woke up at exactly 3:33 am.

I know for a very long time, my dreams have been very weird and strange. My dreams had crazy adventures, stories, different events going on. Sometimes it’s like when you’re switching from show to show on a TV. Sometimes my dreams are pretty spiritual at times in a good way and a bad way. Dreaming to me it’s hard to explain because it all happens in a different reality than what you think. It’s not just something science can easily explain.
The most vivid dream I can currently remember is when I felt like I was awake but I know I was sleeping. It was kind of like a lucid dream but I couldn’t really control it. It was just emptiness and space-less. I felt like I was just vibrating at a high frequency. From what I know now from the research I did, this was a sign of an Out of Body Experience. I felt like my spirit was being pushed out of my body. It kind of freaked me out so when I got scared, I felt something sinister going on. I felt like something bad was literally trying to choke me. I tried screaming for help but no one could hear me. It wasn’t that much fun of a dream. This has happened other times before. One time I was sleeping I could see everything but my eyes were closed. I felt like some force was pushing me down. I felt scared so I tried to wake up but it didn’t work for a while. When it did work I tried to move my finger then I woke up. It freaked me out so I tried to go back to sleep. The main obstacle was trying to get out of this dream. The moment I tried to go back to sleep the same thing happened again and again and again. I had enough of it so I stayed up for a while and went on my phone then went back to sleep.
I have other dream stories but those are for another time. I am not sure if these are considered dreams but that is what happened. From what I know it could be a spiritual sign because at times dreams could be spiritual.

My dreams have always consisted of many weird, crazy and wild things. lately its been about me in the NFL and it always results in me doing the same type of run almost every game. it feels like i can never lose a game. i put the team on my back and they simply say take us to the promise land. it super fun winning all the time and sometimes the team and i think if we can keep it going and we try not to think of us losing but we always said it will happen one day. But we prayed that we could continue this run of success we had going on.
Then there are the dreams when my worst fears come to pass. i’m running down the field and then suddenly there is a snap a crackle the a pop. i take a look at my lower leg and it looks like its been been busted open. the bone is sticking out the blood is everywhere the crowd is screaming. i can hear them saying ” he needs help someone help him”. i wake up panting and sweating and realizing it’s just a dream and fall back to sleep.
Its dreams like these that makes me realize that our dreams could be realities or something we may need to avoid. i continue to have dreams and they continue to be helpful sending me messages on what i need to do and avoid. hopefully none of the not so good dreams come to pass and haunt me for the rest of mt days but only time will tell.
