Dream Quote by Shelley Admont
““When nighttime came, Amanda went to sleep and that night she had a dream… In her dream, she was walking into the double doors of a big, important-looking building. She wandered down a long corridor, following what sounded like a large group of excited voices, until she was ushered into a ballroom. Amanda shuffled into what she soon realized was a chess competition, and, as she looked around, she heard her name called over the speakers. She was up next.””
