Excerpt:

When you compare your dreams to what happens while you're awake, your daytime life might seem pretty boring. Have you ever had any of these dreams:
- that you were flying on a dragon's back
- that you were eating a hot fudge sundae
- that you were being kissed by your favorite movie star
- that your teeth were falling apart
- that you were riding in a car with no brakes
- that you were hunting for the room where you were going to take a test
- that you were falling through black space
- that you were soaring to the moon
- that you were running naked down the school hallway
- that you were wearing a totally cool outfit
- that you were nearly drowned by a tidal wave
- that you were trapped in your body
- that you found an extra room in your house
- that you were talking with someone who is dead?

If you have, then you're not alone. All these have been dreamed by kids a lot like you. Welcome to the wild, weird, and wonderful world of dreams!
