Fly Me to the Moon

Is not just a classic Frank Sinatra song in case you were all wondering. It's a re occurring dream that I have all the time. I always start in this astronaut suit looking cool as usual. Then I have to rebound enough basketballs to unlock the secret code to allow me on the rocket ship. As i'm grabbing at the basketballs as they vigorously hurtle off the back board toward my face the net gets smaller and the backboard starts to disappear. After what feels like forever I finally unlock the code to open the door to this massive grey- almost plastic looking space craft. It's pickles by the way, in case it was on your mind.

Inside the rocket ship, its painted in a light purple with black zebra stripes with a couple of tables bulted down to the ground, and chairs duck taped at the base. The rocket ship is spaceous with lots of seating, large buttons and alot of windows. Though the ship seems invitingly large, there's only a staff of 5 + me.

In my dream we always sit in the same spots. We don't get to rotate or choose an empty one. It's like our bodies are magnetized to our chairs and there's no switch to deactivate the tediousness. We strap into our seats and get ready for take off. The count down starts, but it always misses the number 3 which is strange because it's my favorite number. Then we take off soaring into the air so fast I can almost feel my face peeling downwards like gravity doesn't want to let go. We finally hit outer space with what seems like only seconds that have passed. It's not as dark as I thought it would be. The stars are all a bright purple and yellow color and the moon is a light goldish orange color like a chocolate orange wrapper that you get at Christmas time.



Then all of a sudden the ship starts to get hit with giant eggs. However when the eggs break little tiny fairies come out of them and start peeling the paint off the ship. The whole crew begins to evacuate the ship but i'm stuck in my seat belt and I can't get myself out. When I start to call people's names to come and help me, I become a mute and no one around me can hear me. They all escape into the pod of protection (what it's labelled) and i'm trapped in this ugly black chair that was clearly bought on discount. As the ship begins to break apart I get a large beam of light that comes in contact with my eyes and I wake up.



I've never gotten past the bright light. Maybe it's like when you finally fall and hit the ground in a dream, you know you've died. Maybe once I reach this bright light i've made my way to heaven. But more than likely its the rear-a-view lights on the back of the escape pod leaving me to my death.
