What if my dreams started becoming real?

On a breezy Tuesday morning, Skye awoke to the sound of her favorite song playing, except, she hadn't set an alarm. As she rubbed her eyes, she realized her room was filled with something unusual—a sweet, floral fragrance. She looked around, and there, on her nightstand, was a bouquet of blue roses. But wait, blue roses weren't real, right?
Skye’s heart skipped a beat. Slowly, the events of last night filtered back into her mind. She had dreamt about a magical garden full of blue roses that glowed under a silver moon. As the dream faded, she remembered wishing she could have one of those roses in real life. And now, here they were, fresh and vivid, right beside her bed.
Her room was just as she left it, except for those impossible flowers. Skye pinched herself. "Ouch," she whispered, confirming she was definitely awake.
The day slipped by in a blur of math equations, history lessons, and whispered chatter with her best friend Lena. By lunchtime, Skye was bursting to tell Lena about the roses.
“Lena, you won't believe what happened!” Skye exclaimed, dragging her to their usual table under the big oak tree.
“What’s up?” Lena asked, her interest piqued.
“I had a dream about blue roses last night, and this morning, they were in my room!”
Lena raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure it wasn’t a prank?”
“I’m sure! I mean, blue roses don’t even exist naturally!”
Lena leaned back, pondering. “That’s wild. Maybe it’s just one of those unexplainable things.”
Skye wanted to believe it was a one-time occurrence, but deep down, she felt something had shifted. That night, she lay in bed, thoughts racing. She focused on what she'd dream about—something extraordinary. Just as she drifted to sleep, she imagined a world where she could fly over mountains and cities.
The next morning, Skye awoke feeling refreshed. She stretched and rolled out of bed, only to yelp in surprise as she found herself floating a few inches above the ground. Heart pounding, she wriggled back down to the carpet, her mind racing with excitement and a touch of fear.
The dreams are becoming real, she thought, her heart thudding. But what did this mean? Could she control it?
Over the next few days, Skye’s dreams continued to spill into reality. An imagined field trip to a candy land left her with a pocket full of chocolate coins when she woke up. A dream about acing her math test gave her the answers she needed to solve the tricky problems in class.
Each morning, her heart danced between excitement and anxiety. As thrilling as it was to wield such power, she couldn’t shake a nagging worry. What if she dreamt of something terrible?
One evening, as the last light faded, Skye stared out her window, watching the stars blink into existence. Her dreams had been fun, but the unpredictability worried her. She needed advice—someone who might understand.
That weekend, she confided in her grandmother, an old soul with a hint of magic herself. Skye’s grandmother listened intently, her eyes twinkling with understanding.
“Dreams are powerful,” her grandmother said gently, sipping her herbal tea. “They reflect our deepest desires and fears. But remember, Skye, with power comes responsibility.”
Skye nodded, absorbing her grandmother’s words. “But how do I control it? I don’t want to accidentally dream of something bad.”
Her grandmother smiled. “Focus on what you truly want. If you dream with intention, perhaps you can guide your dreams.”
That night, Skye went to bed with a determined heart. She thought of a dream that could help others—a dream where she could bring happiness or solve problems. She imagined a world where everyone had enough food and laughter filled the air.
As she drifted into slumber, Skye envisioned a place where everyone could plant a tree that bore the fruit of their dreams.
When she awoke, she found a small, peculiar seed on her pillow. It shimmered with a golden hue, humming softly as if it held the promise of something remarkable.
Skye took the seed to school, uncertain yet hopeful. During lunch, she showed Lena. “I think this seed is special. What if we plant it?”
With Lena’s encouragement, they found a patch of earth near the school’s old oak tree. As they planted the seed, classmates gathered, intrigued by the mysterious seed.
Days passed, and the seed sprouted into a vibrant tree, its branches stretching wide and strong. To everyone’s amazement, the tree bore fruits of all shapes and colors, each tasting like a different favorite food—chocolates, berries, even pizzas!
