The Dreamer: Chapter 4
Jeff and Marc usually walked to class together because they had many of the same classes. As they walked to class today they walked in silence. Usually they were chattering on about whatever drivel came to mind at the time, but today Marc was too distracted. Of course they were headed to Ms. Laurel's class so he wasn't in any rush. They walked in just as the bell was ringing.

The Dreamer Chapter 3: The Problem
It was five in the morning when Marcus was so abruptly woken up by the sound of his alarm going off. Not that he had a choice to sleep more because he had to get ready for school, but Marcus decided to hit the snooze button anyway to roll over to go back to sleep. As he flopped over to get more rest his sister slammed open his door and said "Get up bro, I have to drive you to school today and I'm not going to be late!"

The Dreamer
"Marcus..." his mother called up the stairs. Marcus just laid in bed. He woke up with a terrible headache. The kind where the pain is directly behind one eye and it feels like someone took a knife and stabbed it right in front of your temple. Maybe it was because of his recent dreams that his head throbbed. He had relived the same dream about his parents over and over again that night. Each time he tried something different from the last to warn his parents somehow, but each time ended the same way and he woke up after with tears in his eyes and frustration across his face. Then he'd lay there and try to come up with a new plan for his next run.

The Dreamer
From the moment he was born he knew he was special. It wasn’t that he was told so. It wasn’t that he was part of a whole line of special people. He just felt something that made him believe that he was different. It all started with the dreams. He would awake in the middle of the night and worry and he couldn’t put his finger on it. The dreams were never remembered at first. They would always reoccur in reality and then he would remember them. For example, one day he was walking down the street and had a conversation with a friend and all of a sudden his dream came back to him. It was too late however because he wasn’t able to save her from getting hit by that car. Thank heavens that she wasn’t killed, but it did ruin her life because of the scars. Things like this would happen to him more and more often. One day he sat down and thought about it and things started to change for him. He was beginning to be able to remember his dreams for a short while after he had them. He started keeping a journal. This wasn’t enough however because he still didn’t know when his dreams would become reality. He just knew that bad things were going to happen, but not when.

Financial Makeover
Financial goal setting, like many other goals in life, is more successful if you have a plan. There is a difference between a goal and a desire. Financial goal setting is important because many people have wants and desires, but never really follow through with them because they don’t develop a concrete goal to follow. Also if you create financial goals, you are more likely to be financially successful.

Time Vault: Prelude
Tyler: 2142 His heart raced as he rounded the corner. It was not like Tyler Jynx to get rattled, nor do anything too daring. His mediocre life, living paycheck-to-paycheck, pushed him to the edge. It was time to do something daring, something drastic, which is why he was sneaking into the Time Vault. The Time Vault is the establishment that regulates and controls time travel. They also have time guards, who travel through time protecting the timeline from rouge travelers. The rules are simple. You cannot visit your former self or anyone who knew, you cannot tell people about major future events, and you had to return to the exact time and place that you left by the specified time allotted. Also you had to be wealthy in order to travel not because of the law but because it cost $2,000,000 for one trip. In the year 2142 the average person makes only $200,000 per year after living expenses and taxes are paid and are left with a mere $20,000 if they are lucky. Tyler did not fit into the wealthy category which is why he chose to sneak into the facility.

The 40 Day and 40 Night Challenge
Every Morning: I wake up at 3:30am. Not because I have to, but because I need to. People have a tendency to live in a rush, a rat race that just is unsettling. It is bad for their health. You see I wake up that early, because I need to. For my health. I start work at 7:30am. For four hours I am my own. I own myself and spend quality time with myself. This month I woke up one morning and decided to start my own business on the side. Much of the groundwork is done from 4:00am to 5:30am. People are amazed that I started putting together my business plan on February 26th and by March 1st I was already a registered business and on my way to getting the business running. Currently I have about 6 employees ready to start in April. I also have time to write in my daily journal, something I started in January. You see, in January I was a mess and disorganized. I was a wreck, and just not ready for the world on a daily basis. I disliked myself, so I did something about it. Daily for almost two months I wrote in my journal. I wrote, daily affirmations. I wrote how I was feeling inside and how I was feeling outside. I wrote goals and plans and dreams. Between the hours of 3:30am and 5:30am, I changed my life.

Broken Silence
My head is swimming with the sound of her voice. I am not quite sure where she went. I woke up this morning and it was like she never existed. I looked around and saw a disaster of my stuff broken all over the floor, only my stuff. Nothing of her remains. The emptiness hits me like a brick to my jaw. I should have seen this coming, but it is too late. One day I will regret this. One day I will fall. Today is not the day. I am numb. I am dead. Nothing can hurt a man who has no nerves left.

Time Vault
James: 1999 The alarm sounded at 5:00 am as James rolled over in bed to hit the snooze button. James Jynx was 23 years old and worked everyday at the local high school as a physics teacher. As a young teacher, just out of college, the students loved him as being not only a role model to the boys, but a crush of most of the girls. One of the many downsides of being a high school teacher, as James would come to learn. James was an average young man, who enjoyed working out, playing video games, and partying a little too late with his buddies on weekends. James lived alone, as his parents passed away in a motorcycle accident when he was halfway through college. He inherited their house, but it felt empty without their presence.
