Fairy Tale

Last night I dreamed I was was inside a fairy tale. I was getting ready to leave to go into the city with the queen and and some other folks, but I needed to go the restroom. I went back into the castle and was looking for my room.

Confused, I entered the wrong room. For a moment I felt lost, but then some voice directed me into my room. Somehow I realized that this castle was under a curse. I saw in my mind's eye a couple escaping the castle. The man's head had shrunk and the woman had a beard. Both were fleeing the curse in the castle.

I knew that my reason for being in the castle was to break this curse. As I entered my bedroom, I remembered my experiences from the night before:

The room was uncomfortable and in my search to find somewhere more comfortable to sleep, I had found a hidden chamber off from the room. It was sort of a play room filled with toys, stuffed animals and more. I remembered that even though I was older, I still enjoyed played with the toys.

As I played with the toys, I noticed a loft that encircled one side of the room. At the end of the loft was a door leading outside. Then I noticed what appeared to be a boy sitting near the door, but when I went closer, I realize it was a wooden figure of boy.

Now as I stood in the entrance to the chamber, I looked for the wooden figure and the door: both were still there. I climbed up to the loft and found some clothes I had laid out from the night before. I climbed around the loft to the door. As I drew near to the figure, he came to life. It was a little boy. He was so excited and began to play and laugh.

When I approach the door, he looked scared. The door had a window and I looked through it to see the UT campus and the TN river. Then I climbed down the loft and was going to open the door. The boy looked terrified. As I climbed down, the color left his face and soon he was wooden again.

Immediately I climbed back up the loft and he came back to life. I was trying to figure out how to help him, when Kelly came up behind me and said, "Break the curse off him."

I laid hands on him and commanded the curse to leave "in the names of Jesus!" When I carried him down from the loft he was completely normal. We went back into the main bedroom and I told him to hide while I checked out the castle.

I realized he was a childhood friend of the prince--and had apparently been cursed since childhood. As I walked through the castle I met several allies. The butler had a skin condition which I knew was a curse and broke it off him.

Soon it was safe for the boy to come out. When he saw the prince, he immediately was restored to his normal age as a young man. Both of them embraced and immediately bonded again. Then I asked the prince about his mom. He said she wasn't very close to him because she had a nursemaid raise him.

I brought out the nursemaid and knew that she was the real king and mother of the prince. Then I exposed the false queen as a witch and she immediately turned into an old hag and ran out of the castle.
