5 Chapter 5-Land of Nod/Lucid Dream

Everyone on the bus was looking at her like she had grown a horn. Uncomfortable, she looks down and puts on her glasses.

Alone and unhappy, all she wanted was to get rid of that dream, the dream that somehow invaded her lonely nights. Giving her heartaches But this time it was a slight difference. The man who freed himself and traveled across the leaf has an agreement with.A face she knew. A face that makes her shiver and wish she had never met him!Oh, God!! Why him? Why not Henry Cavil? Or Ryan Gosling? She could use some hard sugar in her so-boring-life. She dreamed.

She assumed all her daydreams were just like those that everyone on the planet had. Yet, Catherine's dream was different. Her daydreams weren't rainbows and bursts of sunshine, but her dreams became her reality.

She was more alive in The Land of Nod than in the actual world. She called it The Land of Nod, which sounded fancier than dreamland.

Not only that, but she recalled her mother used to tell her about the hidden meanings of her dreams. Likewise, she told her once that there were many theories about dreams that denied they had any considerable meaning at all. Yet, her unexpected reasoning about the dreams was that they were little films that Catherine encountered and took part in.

But, if dreams are films, do they have producers and script-writers and directors and all the other crew required to make one? Catherine asked that, and somehow her mom would then explain to her that her dreams were non-lucid, that her dreams were often bizarre and incoherent. And just a simple thought. Nothing out of the ordinary.

And her mother assumed that most of them were forgotten when she awoke. That was what she often broached, by the way. Unbeknownst to her, Catherine could recall every single dream she had since forever. Catherine's dream characteristics may even be at odds with those of a film.

Yet, her dreams were like the creation of a cinematic movie; it is a purposeful activity. She could show an overall scene which was something like: to give the movie-goer an exciting, emotional, disturbing, or satisfying experience, and they might want to ask if she could ascribe a similar purpose to her dreams? Yes. She could! That was why she called it the Land of Nod.

At first, she could not recall her dreams from the last dream cycle, the one before waking, but in the long run, when the dreams had developed into the most chaotic and odd ones, she could now remember them altogether. Yet, at an early age, she does not have any solid theory about dreaming, so it was particularly easy for her to have an open mind. She believes that there were many possibilities (some stranger than others) of what was happening in the state of her consciousness and why was she dreaming of some peculiar places she'd never been to before? She had many memorable dreams and some even paranormally odd, as it was very difficult to categorise them or what they meant.

She knew that there was a possibility that her dreams were constructed by a dream-maker (if there was any). She bet she was the dream maker, or maybe part of her was the dream maker, as Catherine often seemed to have an alternative interpretation of her non-lucid dreams, because somehow it intensified as her experience went beyond human perspective.
