Dreaming
Facilitated By Zhuoran Yao
August 2, 2022
Jacob is in his dream. He sees himself in the blue, plaid pajamas he wore to bed. Nobody else is to be seen. The sun is setting, gentle winds are blowing by, and the temperature is nice. Jacob thinks that he is on a mountain. He sees a trail and gets going. After walking for a long time, he finds himself on a cliff. Looking down the cliff, there is a large forest. The forest extends in all directions, and Jacob cannot find a border. Suddenly, some swallows fly by, and an enormous giraffe pops out of nowhere. It stands taller than the cliff, and its head is the size of multiple Jacobs. Jacob is frightened for a second but then immediately gets excited. Just in the afternoon, his parents took him to a zoo, where he saw such large animals as elephants, lions, and giraffes. They have been on his mind since then. Perhaps this is the chance for him to have some more friendly interactions with a lovely animal. The giraffe looks at him intently. Jacob wants to do something, and a heap of hay appears in front of him. He takes some of it and offers it to the giraffe. The giraffe opens its mouth and takes it. The boy hears the giraffe say "thanks," although he does not see it moving its mouth at all. The giraffe dissipates into the air, and Jacob wakes up, regretting that he does not get to spend more time with the creature.
