A Dream Adventure

== Story ==
Dreams are meant to have a meaning.
Sometimes, you can have full blown adventures in them, and I figured this out last night.
The first thing I remember was looking across a wheat field. It looked so real, yet it wasn't. I somehow knew I was dreaming.
"Duck!" a voice behind me shouted.
They flung me to the ground just in time to avoid a barrel coming towards us.
I looked to see who saved me.
"You know, if a barrel came tumbling towards me, I could just survive it. This is a dream after all," was the first thing that came out of my mouth.
"Still, I saved your life," the person said as they helped me up.
I looked at them more closely. I read somewhere that people in dreams are just a part of my subconscious.
I guess my subconscious knows my type in men since he was tall with brown hair and deep ocean eyes.
"What brings you here, Alina?" he asked.
I wanted to ask how he knew my name, but I figured that since it was a dream and he was my subconscious, he would already know. Somehow I also knew his name as well. And yet somehow, he reminded me of someone I used to know.
As I studied him closely, I knew who he was. He was one of my best friends from first grade. His name was Austin and he moved away about 7 years ago when we were in 3rd grade.
"Well, uhm, I think going to sleep brings me here?" I asked. "I do it every night. It's good for not dying."
He laughed.
"Sounds like you've got the same sense of humor as you did all those years ago," he said, between tears of laughter.
"It's more sarcasm now," I said. "Are you in high school now?"
"I am. Some of my classmates are very very annoying. But then again, it isn't high school without annoying classmates now, is it?" he asked.
"Yep. That's the beauty of public high schools. Although I think one of the all-girls schools in my district only accepts 'Good kids'," I said.
"Oh my gosh, I remember that. Remember when one of them told us that there was a dungeon underneath the school with dragons and that was where they sent the 'Naughty" kids'?" Austin asked.
"Oh yes. But it turns out that they just get expelled," I said.
"I prefer the first one," Austin said. "Say, do you still have that four leaf clover I gave you?"
I held it up to him.
"Never leave home without it," I said. "Also, we should probably sit down."
We sat down and the ground felt soft and smelt of freshly cut grass.
"I love this smell," I said.
"Same," he said.
"Do you always have lucid dreams?" I asked.
"From time to time. My brother introduced me to it a few months ago and this is my second lucid dream," he said.
"This is my first," I said.
"Then you're missing out, Alina," Austin said.
He then summoned a portal in front of us.
I looked at it in awe.
"Come on, let's go."
And so we did.
