Why Did My Dream Knock Before I Was Ready?

A child feels nervous about strange dreams, then imagines choosing which dream may enter and which can wait outside.

The whole story

1. At bedtime, Mina lined up three pillows and tucked her blanket beneath her chin. She wanted a quiet dream tonight.

2. But a strange dream slipped in. Silver fish floated past the ceiling, and Mina's socks grew wings.

3. Mina woke before sunrise and held her pillow tight. She did not know what dream might visit next.

4. That night, just as Mina's eyes grew heavy, she heard a knock. It came from a little door beside her bed.

5. Mina imagined a hallway behind the door. The dreams were waiting there, and she could choose one.

6. Mina chose the little lavender cloud. The kite and the pond could wait outside until another night.

7. The little cloud settled above Mina's pillow. It brought one tiny fish, just silly enough to make her smile in her sleep.

8. In the morning, Mina opened the little door and saw the waiting dreams. A dream could knock before she was ready, but she could still choose which one might come in and which one could wait outside.
