The Dream World
56
Eternal Samurai
I was living in a two bedroom apartment with my brother and his friend in Japan. I ended up sleeping in after a long night of studying. It was morning and it was almost time to wake and for some odd reason, I heard someone whispering. I could only hear one voice so I couldn't tell who he was whispering to. I hear him mention about waking me up before he kills me so he could have "the pleasure." That's when I couldn't pretend to stay asleep anymore and as I woke up I charged at him and put my arm against his throat as I held him against the wall.
I recognized him. He was my shy Chinese classmate who never volunteered. How did he break into my apartment without my roommates knowing. They must not be home.
"Why are you trying to kill me?" I yell.
"I guess you don't remember yet do you?" he responded.
He pushed me off of him and grabs a knife from his pocket. It's the size of box cutter. I run out the room as he chases me into the kitchen. I grab a knife from the counter and deflect his incoming attack.

Amnesia
"Where am I?" I say to the closest person to me.
"Your in school?" Someone dressed as the teacher replies.
"Oh... how did I get here?"
"Are you all right? I think you have amnesia"
"Oh... where am I on this map?"
"Your in Wisconsin"
"What the Fuck?!? How did I get here?"
"I don't know."
We continue to talk but I notice something while we're talking. She shows me something after class in her office. That's when she starts making a move on me. "Whoa,shouldn't we not be doing this right now?" I ask.
"Your right. Let's go out after school. Meet me here."
So as I walk around the school I notice the sky is bright and everything seems glossy...
"Am I dreaming? I don't feel like I am. Hmm... everything looks like a dream. That would explain my amnesia." I conclude to myself that I must be dreaming. But for some reason I could use my logic and that argued my case. So I took the dream test, At my next class I tried to see if I could read.
When a person dreams they use the right side of they're brain, while the part that allows you to read is on the left.
I look closely at the board... and notice all of the words don't make any sense and they're all jumbled. "Fuck... how do I get out of this dream?" I asked myself at first. "Wait... do I want to get out? I have a date with a teacher."
As I walked out on break I came across an old classmate. It was Everett. He recognises me as much as I do to him. "Everett!" I call out.
"Jojo?!? What are you doing here?" he replies.
"I could ask you the same thing... this is my dream."
"I know. This is just a dream world."
"You know?!? What the fuck? Is this my dream... or a cumulative dream between us... or maybe even some dream world."
"I don't know."
"Hey, here's what I want you to do" I suggest. "When we both wake up, call me and ask me if I just had the same dream you did and then we'll know."
"Alright" was his final word to me.
I left contemplating if there was a way to stay in this dream world. I want to spend more time with the teacher so I ask someone.
"Hey you!" I call out.
"Yeah?" says the stranger.
"How would you stay in a dream?"
"Why would you want to do that? It's just a fucking dream!"

I awaken after that momment and wait this morning to see if my friend would call me...
