Timmy goes to sleep and finds himself in space with his animal friends. They go from the moon to planets with Timmy. They wear a mask. They keep warm. They also play. They play with a stick and a ball, like hockey.
When Timmy goes to wake up. His friends tell him not to tell anyone about them. Timmy says, Don't worry, my lips are sealed.
His mom goes and wakes Timmy up, and his mom asks him where he got that stick and ball from. He says, his friend James gave it to him.
When his mom says? A while back when he spent the night. The night he went home, before he went home. That day. Oh, well, you have a doctor's appointment, so get ready. Im bringing you . Don't forget your coat.
It's cold outside. I will be making you breakfast. Don't go back to sleep. Timmy got out of bed, got dressed, and made his bed all by himself. He did it! He is so proud of himself. He didn't think he could do it. He did it!
Timmy went downstairs and ate his breakfast. Then he put his shoes on. He hopped in the car on the way to see his doctor. He waited in the waiting room for twenty minutes, then his doctor saw Timmy.
What wrong? His doctor asked? What's bothering you? Timmy said. I have a sore throat and my ear hurts.
The doctor looked at his ears and throat and told him to take some Tylenol and gave him an antibiotic.
Then he went home, stayed home from school, and took some Tylenol and his antibiotic. That night Timmy broke a sweat. He had a fever. His mom gave him an antibiotic and off to sleep he went.
He had another dream about space and the animals, but they didn't play or dress warmly. They told Timmy that they had to go into someone else's dream. That he wouldn't be dreaming about them anymore.
When Timmy woke up, he was a little disappointed but all better. He was thankful for that. Then he got on the bus and was sent to school.
Timmy's teacher assigned them some extra homework. Timmy felt sick again, like he had to throw up. He was disgusted with his teacher for giving them extra homework.
He went home. Told his mom he felt sick to his stomach because of his teacher. She gave them extra homework. His mom was thinking more of the cafeteria food. What did y'all have for lunch? Meatloaf. It didn't agree with me.
You're kidding me his mom said. You just came back from the doctor. I have to make you another appointment. Go to bed now. He went to sleep and he had a good night's rest.
The next day, he stayed home from school because of his stomach, but his appointment wasn't till Thursday, and it was Tuesday.
He really wanted to go to school and learn. He was really smart, but he couldn't. The school called asking if he was coming to school. His mom told them he was sick. He had to have had a doctor's note when he went back.
Timmy's mom told Timmy that, so she wouldn't forget. The next day, Timmy felt fine, but his mom thought he still ought to go to the doctor since he had an appointment and had to have a doctor's note for school.
So she took Timmy to the doctor the next day, and his stomachache was back. He told the doctor what had happened. The meatloaf didn't agree with him, and yesterday he felt fine, but now his stomach was back.
The doctor told him to take some Pepto-Bismol when he needed it. He should feel better in a few days. They asked the doctor for a note for school. The doctor wrote the note. Saying that Timmy wasn't feeling well. That he saw him.
When Timmy went back to school and saw his friends and his world lit up. And lunch agreed with him. All the homework he had was what he didn't finish.
Timmy's eighth-grade year was almost up, and he was the class valedictorian. He made straight A's. He was making his ring, rehearsing for when he graduates. Then comes graduation. His name is called. He goes up the stage, looks at his principal, and shakes his hand while receiving his diploma. Then walk off the stage.
Timmy is all grown up now. No more bad dreams or dreams about space or space friends. Now he dreams about relationships with his friends and girlfriends. Also other stuff.
He is excited about next year. He is just going to enjoy the summer with his friends. They are going to the beach. Then the lake tubing. They have their whole life ahead of them.
They make the most of it. And when they get married. They start their own families and go through what their parents went through with them, with their children.
Are the monsters going to get them in their dreams? Are they going to wet their bed? What is going to happen to their kids in their dreams? Will their kids survive their dreams? Or will they dream about becoming an astronaut? Or a doctor? Or a Circus act? What will they dream?
Will their dreams come true? Maybe not all of them, but maybe some of them, like what their profession they are supposed to be in. If that's the profession, they're supposed to go in.
Only the universe and God know what they will become. It's exciting to find out. Yet I'm sure nerve-wrecking, all at the same time. Keep Dreaming! Keep reaching for the stars! MAY all your dreams come true!
And Timmy became an Atsrounant. Now he's working in space just like he dreamt. And it's for real. He loves it there. He wouldn't trade his job for anything in the world. He encourages his kids to follow their dreams. If you don't follow your dreams, you will never become successful.
