I've had the strangest urge these last couple of days. I've found myself feeling invincible for a change and I owe it all to a dream I had a short while ago.

I dreamt I was walking through some streets alone, just me in an open city. As I was walking around gawking at the sights I saw a tall structure about four or five times my size that looked like an artistically-done block. Suddenly I had the urge to get to the top of this thing to see what might be waiting for me! So I took a run-up, dashed towards the structure and just about managed to grab onto it. Instead of letting go like I normally would, I hauled myself up and had a go at the next part, then after climbing what felt like wall after wall I managed to make it to the top and...

Nothing.

Nothing to pick up. Just a brightly-coloured floor, but instead of moping about not having anything shiny I looked around and saw something. The view was incredible from that relatively small building. There was no one else there to see that I'd just done my own impossible stunt, but I was happy and felt like I'd achieved something incredible.

It's a strange one for me, whenever I dream I always think about someone I know and it's like a group adventure. This is the first time I've recalled having one where it was just me, I'm not going to go too philosophical but that in itself means something to me. This dream was all mine. I did something that my friends wouldn't compete with me in, give me hints about or try to get involved with and it was great. I woke up in a great mood that lasted throughout the entire day.

Don’t read that wrong. I love my friends and family to pieces and value their roles in my life, but it really means something to me to have something that only I can do. My friends do martial arts and are generally active, they also play games like me and we all ride bikes. I wouldn't call us too competitive, though some rivalry is healthy, but there are times when I wish I could have my own secret hobby. To have myself to keep me going and just myself to answer to, a style that can truly reflect just one person. That is a goal of mine.

I think this is what my dream's helped me realise. I'm usually too scared to do things on my own, but because of it I've now taken the first steps in a hobby that is truly unique no matter how many people are involved. And hopefully I can learn to take my steps one at a time on my own and learn more about how I view myself along the way.

Wish me luck~!
