I don't think that the characters in A Midsummer Night's Dream had dreams like this...

    I once had a dream nightmare when I was about 8 years old, and it's stuck with me since then. I usually can't remember my dreams for more than a couple weeks at most, so obviously this was an extremely emotionally scarring dream for me. Don't make fun.
    In my dream, I was inside my house. But instead of being in the family room, where I evidently should have been, I was at the entrance of an underground train station. The entrance to the train station was a big, gray, stone arch with ivy growing around and on it. The train station was heavily populated, but not with people. The commuters were actually small, multi-colored little monsters made out of socks and other pieces of clothing, like corduroy pants and things of that nature. But I digress. Anyway, I remember being lost and trying to get directions. These little monsters are all going about their business, not stopping to help me, until this one awesome green/dark green-striped monster came up and offered me his hand. Just as I was about to take it, though, all of these monsters came piling out of the train station in this huge panic. My new monster friend and I looked around, trying to figure out what was terrifying all these other monsters so much, and then we saw it. This HUGE BEAR came stomping out of the train station on its hind legs, roaring and running after these monsters. Then it saw me. I somehow knew it was coming after me, so I ran down the hallway(of my house, because obviously the train station was just playin' me and was really my house the entire time) into my den, because in the back of my head I had this thought that if I jumped on the couch in the den, I would be safe from this bear. The last thing I remember is jumping to get on my couch, and while in mid-air looking back to see this bear coming at me through the doorway. Then I woke up. Like I said, probably the scariest nightmare of my entire life. Besides the one I had of my dad trying to kill me. But that's for another time.
     Oh how I wish that this is what Bottom dreamed of. I would've loved to see him amongst the monsters...
p.s. This is a drawing I did of all the characters in my dream. I labeled them, but if you can't tell, the big green one in the middle is Ricardo, the friendly monster. The brown and black blob in the lower left-hand corner is the bear, and the brightly colored blobs in the other corner are the other monsters. Since they were mean to me in my dream, I didn't take the liberty of drawing them as well as Ricardo. As a result of looking at this, you may be asking yourself, "Does Kaley have a life?" The answer is no. You also may be faced with the question, "Is Kaley sane?" That, my friend, is up for you to decide.
