Last night,i had the strangest dream.It was in color,very vivid and very frightening.I dreamt i was lying in bad asleep,when suddenly i started to feel very hot.I woke up and found the house was on fire.I ran upstairs to the top floor to avoid the flames,but the fire got bigger and bigger.It seemed to be chasing me.In the end,i had nowhere else to run to.I tried to reach the window but i couldn't because my feet were struck firmly to the ground.
Then,just as the flames were about to reach me,i flew out of the window,leaving the flames behind.I flew higher and higher.I could see the whole town spread out beneath me.Then i started to fall,faster and faster.I tried to scream but i couldn't .Just before i hit the ground,i woke up.The first thing i did was to turn down the central heating!
