Dream Threads

"Rappel Upward on Dream Threads" by Joji

In a New Post on your own blog, try the following writing activity using the interesting sentences regarding dreams that you and your classmates came up with on Tuesday.  We'll call these sentences "dream threads," little bits that you've pulled from a bigger piece and that could be "woven" back together in interesting ways.

• Choose one of the sentences to begin your story.  You may use it word for word or alter it slightly if necessary.
• Choose another sentence to end your story.
• Fill in the space in between with a story connecting the two sentences. This will likely be fiction but it doesn't have to be.  It also doesn't need to be especially long and may only be a portion of a bigger, more complicated story--maybe 200 words or so--but it could be. It could also be a poem.
• Put the sentences you took from other people in bold or another color.
• Include at least one image.

Here's our list:


I look back up at the clock:   Five more hours, I tell myself.The last thing I saw was me looking down upon a massive burning city

“What was the point of going on with so much rejection in my life?”

“This is what madness sounds like”

“I personally don’t find scribbles and lines scary, but in this dream they are terrifying.”

“Why should I let this hold me back?”

There’s too many voices, I don’t know which one is my own.

“I close my eyes and see all sorts of chaotic color and commotion.”

A dream about zombies in which i never dream about but seem very interesting to me  

Being told that i will never play football after being hurt
