Most of the writing blogs you read will warn you from starting out with a dream. It's overdone and cliché. In most cases, I agree. But for the purposes of today's prompt, we're going to pretend we've never heard that advice.
This week's prompt: Write a dream sequence.
Enjoy!

My response:
I ran my hands over the knobby walls. Somewhere in the whorls and creases was a switch, and I needed to find it. Why they had to design hotel rooms like this, I didn't know. I might have been able to appreciate the gimmick ... if I didn't have to go the bathroom so bad!
I felt the bit under my hand move and give a solid clunk as it sunk into place. My heart cheered. And a bed unfolded from the wall.
Darn it.
My hands kept searching. I moved away from the bed, towards the far corner. This time, when I felt the switch, a door swung open. To my relief, the light revealed a modern, sleek bathroom of chrome and floating sinks. I hurried over to the toilet.
I turned to the window. The glass was clear, and a sea of stars floated on the other side of the glass. I smiled. Where could you have a clear window in the bathroom, but in space. I wondered if there was a shade for it when the ship was docked and giggled at my own joke.
