Dream

by  

I'm at a beach on Lake Erie. However, the beach itself is far from the water itself. The water used to come right up but the lake itself has dried by about 100 yards, leaving the ground underneath it hard packed. There is a volleyball game going on where 5 feet of water used to be. I'm asked to join in but after a few rounds I decide to run to the water's edge, which is quite far away. So I start running.

The ground is hard underneath my bare feet, but I run pretty fast. My mom takes my place in volleyball and proceeds to beat the opposing team using her patented one-handed power-serve(she would throw the ball up with one hand and pound it over the net with the same hand- my mom had cerebral palsy and only had about half-use of her right hand). Meanwhile I'm still running. I cover the terrain quickly despite its hard and dry nature. I reach the edge of the water and I notice a hole near the edge. I peer into it and it looks like there's a tunnel underneath. I run back to the old beach and I see my sister Kandi. She tells me that the tunnel is safe and there are holes every 20 yards to let in air and light. I find the opening to the tunnel and I crawl inside. I move quickly, as quickly as I did running, but this time on all fours. It's quite scary and I get a little claustrophobic. I'm crawling and crawling, and I come to one of the holes, and I hear the water lapping. I know I'm close to water. Over the water I hear someone snoring. I look deeper down the tunnel and I see a large cloth sack and someone behind it. I grab the bag and look into it, only to find useless junk. I pegged the sleeping man as a bum but I don't bother to wonder what he's doing here. Just then, some water spills into the hole above me. I panic. Suddenly I feel very claustrophobic, my own warm breath seems to choke me in this confined space. Instead of climbing out the hole(I had the feeling it was covered with a grate) I begin to race back down the tunnel I had first came, praying I'd get out before the water drowned me. As I began to wake from this dream, I wondered just what the bum was doing there, sleeping in the tunnel.
