Every night, as Julie would snuggle into her bed, she would think of a new, better improved world where trees were as if a friend, and bunnies weren't clothing. One night, she swore her dreams were real, her wildest hopes where fulfilled.

She rustled into bed, her mind wandering off with better nights, better days. She slowly drifted off into a deep sleep. Julie entered her dream in a town with burning trees every which way. This tortured Julie, and she imagined that the trees weren't burning, and their bright, green leaves falling down as the tree swayed by the wind. She realized what she had imagined had come true. She thought her eyes must have been playing tricks on her. In a flash, she closed, and re-opened her eyes. In this process, she imagined the trees burning again, and they did. This was a relief that she wasn't going insane. She wished that the trees weren't burning, as she had seen before. They trees had magically sprang to life, beautiful shining glory. She suddenly came across the fact that, possibly, everything she imagined came true. After her discovery about this, she searched for other things to be improved. She roamed the forest after hearing a massive blow from the same area. She saw a dark shaded man with a gun in hand. Julie thought of a kind heart-filled man not hunting these creatures, but nurturing them. This came true in a second.

Though she already knew she had this power, it still amazed her. She saw a faint shadow of a mall, and headed in that direction. When she arrived at the mall, she hurried to the clothing stores. When she found the clothing draped with bunny fur, she pictured faux fur instead of real fur. This, as the others, came true. There wasn't much left to do. This world she made was better than the real world could ever be.

She began to hear a ringing noise. She searched everywhere in this town. Nothing. She awakened from her dream. Her phone was close to falling off the hook from ringing so much. Tired, she picked up the phone. It was her mom. Apparently her mom had tried to wake from her dream multiple times, but was nearly impossible. She had slept threw school. But the next day, there wasn't a school to go to. It just wasn't there. She didn't know what was going on. The entire town wasn't how it should be. She realized she was still locked in her dream. She noticed that everything was how she made it in her dream. She didn't know what to do. She heard a voice, but couldn't make out what it was saying. The voice repeated what it said. She understood it, and came across that it said that she had to put everything back the way it was before she put it how she wished it was.

After sadly doing that, she awakened; at least she believed she did. She was lying upon a bed in a hospital. She had fainted, and after two days finally woke up. Her mom questioned her about her dream. Julie explained it was the most amazing, spectacular dream she had ever had. She said that she had the world in peace and harmony, but she had to change it back to wake up. Her mom thought that this was nonsense, but Julie didn't think that. She loved that world, even though she had to put it back to the way it was.

She called that dream the gift of life; the meaning of life. Some people called it crazy. Some called it cool. Some thought that she was just in a weird state, and nothing like that happened. She believed that things like that happen so you can realize when something like that comes along, always, no matter how or what, cherish it, as she did.

The end
