I had a dream the other night – and it was awesome! I woke up and didn’t want to open my eyes – I didn’t want it to go away… Reality hit and my day began. Although, the dream was so powerful I cannot forget it. The power I had and the things I could do…. it was great! Allow me to take you there and show you why it was one of the best dreams I have ever had…

My friend had called me and was frantic because they were having their house inspected by some lady from the state. It was important to pass or the state would take their kids away (or something bizarre like that). I drove right over and started to inspect the house myself. It was a large place, but it was a mess. The backyard had like twelve old junky cars all scattered around, and the fence was old and falling apart. The master bedroom was large, but all they had in there was a bed (box spring and mattress only) and a side table with a lamp. The table was old wood, polish chipping, falling apart, and the lamp was this small sad-looking white lamp. The kids room (one bedroom) looked like a room out of an old shack. The walls were leaning and the beds were small (mattress only) with just a blanket. The wooden furniture, in the kids room, was chipping and falling apart. I went back out to the yard and looked around at the mess trying to picture in my mind how it would look better. I held up my hands in front of me, palms out. I held them together for a moment and then slowly moved them outward, spreading them apart. My eyes watched in almost disbelief at what was happening – a new fence was appearing out of nowhere! After the new white six foot fence was finished, my mind power moved all the cars into one area of the yard – arranging them in an artsy fashion, so they would be nice to look at instead. I then built another fence separating the car yard and the back yard where the kids could play and they could have BBQ’s and whatnot. I mind-powered grass and a swing set with a slide. I built a big fancy BBQ and changed their old table and chairs back into their new state. I walked into the master bedroom and looked around trying to see the changes in my head. I held up my hands and I moved them from the bottom of the bed to the top, the box spring and mattress returned to their new selves and then I added the most beautiful bedding! I thought for a second, then added a wooden headboard and footboard. My friend and her husband stood beside me and they said, “No, we don’t like that.” I was surprised, I mean who wouldn’t? I asked if they wanted a different kind of headboard, but they wanted nothing – just the box spring, mattress and the bedding. Whatever – it was their house so just as easy I made the new headboard and footboard disappear. I turned to their bedside table and moving my hands returned it to new. I changed the lamp a little, just to give it a warmer feel – so, I made it bigger and changed the color to match the bedding. (I think it was a sage, but I can’t remember.) I looked at the walls and held up my hands, spreading them apart I brought the walls back to life with a fresh coat of paint.

I moved onto the kids room where I just restored mostly everything in there. There was this wooden divider panel, with three squares going down. I wondered for a second what had happened to the rest of it, but didn’t bother asking. I restored it and while my hands moved down, bringing it back to life, I added photos in each square and then added an antique look with crackled paint – it was awesome! I created a bunk bed for them with bedding, and by simply restoring the mattresses they already had. There was an old desk that I restored and added a lamp. I restored the carpet and added a few toys. I worked my way around the house, making it beautiful and livable with my power.

I was finished with the whole house and we were standing in the living room waiting for the lady to arrive when my friend remembered something in her room. We went rushing back and there was a bathroom that hadn’t been there the first time. She was panic stricken just knowing that this ugly bathroom would cause them to fail the inspection. Just as I put my hands up to fix it, the door bell rang! My friend did not want this lady knowing how I had helped them and I was unable to finish the bathroom. I went out the back door and told my friend to call me when it was over.

I walked out of her house with this happiness, this euphoric feeling that I had helped out and made a difference. It was while I was walking out of the yard I had created that I woke up – I tried to hold onto that feeling, but couldn’t.

I probably have this deep desire that I could simply move my hands and fix my own house. It needs a lot of work and it’s very hard to see the light at the end – but I know it’s there. It would be awesome to have this super power, and to be able to go around helping folks who cannot afford to upgrade their homes and the stuff inside. I would be the Extreme Home Makeover in one magical person… yeah, that’d be good.
