Dream Catcher by Amani Boyd (read e book txt) 📕

She's in a dream, she's know's it. She's holding a yellow mug in her left hand. It's full of nothing but clouds. She sits in a rocking chair on a wretched porch, moving back and forth. To and fro. Her hair is blowing wildly in the air, but there is no breeze. She knows she's in a dream, but who's?
It's Caleb, she can tell, his dream guide is walking up to her now, golden hair and green eyes, he looks like Caleb, but his hair is jet black, not gold. "Never thought you'd be coming back." The Caleb impersonator says. Celeste smiles and gets up from the rocking chair. "Missed me huh?" She asked. The impersonator smiles. "Are you ready to go?" He asked. Celeste moves her tangeled hair out of her face. "'Bout time." She said leaving the mug and the porch behind.
The dream becomes more clear, she see's streets and Cars. "Do you reconize this place?" The impersonator asked. Celeste couldn't help but smile. "Yes, it's the first place we're I met Caleb when we were kids." She says. He smiles, but it soon fades. "Anything else?" he asks. Celeste looks around and soon remembers. Her smile goes away to. The date is June second, two thousand and one." He says. "This was the day Caleb's brother died, isn't it?" She asked. He nods. Even though Calebs brother wasn't around that much, she still cared for him when he died. "It hurts to know that your bestfriend still greives about his little brother, doesn't it?" He asked. Celeste can't move, she can't even speak, she soon notices the dream is becoming lucid, she can feel the warmth of her cold sheets. "I guess you're going now?" He asked. Celeste now nods. "Good bye then." He says, waving, he becomes a cloud and she is now in reality.
When she awakes, she is in Caleb's room, they were supposed to go fishing together, but it started raining so. He wasn't in his room thats why she woke up, he was downstairs doing something. Celeste sat up and wiped her eyes of sleep. She could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, she knew they were Caleb's, he has big feet. He opens the door, carrying a plate of food. "Hey there sleeping beauty." He jokes. She smiles, "I didn't hear you wake up, I would've made you some." Celeste looked at his plate. Bacone and eggs with cinnamon toast. "Nah, thats ok I'm not hungry." She said getting up and going to his window. The rain cleared up quickly. "Rains gone." She said. "Yeah I know." He said, mouth full of bacon. "Caleb, after your done, can you drive me home?" she said. She didn't want to interfer with anymore of his dreams. "Sure, we can leave right now, so there's no wait." He said. Celeste nodded.
