The City of my Dream Since young age, I have always wondered what the perfect place for living would be like. Now, I can say that I have a clear vision of the city of my dreams. First of all, it should be situated in a sunny part of our planet and have great weather conditions all year round. Secondly, there should be neither crime nor any violence there. Only good and kind people can reside in such city. Life can be much easier and nicer if everyone is loving and understanding. In the city of my dreams people will live in peace and quiet, without any worries and fears. This city will have excellent roads, cheap stores, many beautiful parks and playgrounds for kids, several entertainment centers and else. The population of the city will be neither too rich, nor poor. People will live equally well. Older people will be respected and taken care of. The streets will be clean and safe. There will be no homeless animals in the city of my dreams. Another important condition is to have a loyal government. People in the city of my dream will never be in a hurry and they will do only the jobs they like. However, I certainly understand that it’s just my dream, I really hope that at least some of the mentioned qualities will come true in the future.

The City of My Dream. 
I had a wonderful dream involving more sci fi than I have seen in a long time. It had an amazing city in it that I want to remember, now for my futile attempt at explaining the city in my dream. 

The city in my dream was Very post apocalyptic. The city was centered on a huge reactor area that had failed. The reactor was something I supposedly built in my dream. The failure of the reactor had caused many problems in the core of the city though and was surrounded by a green house looking enclosure. All of the windows though bulged out and pulsed with the huge energy placed inside it. Horribly deformed people wandered around and pounded on the inside of the bubble trying to get out but couldn’t break through the thick, clear, glasslike substance. 

Huge buildings surrounded the “Greenhouse”. All of these buildings were covered with moss and slowly were decaying, but people still lived in them, many had horrible burns and their faces looked as though they had melted away. Further away from the center the buildings became newer. These buildings had whole sides that could display video and show advertisements. 

The huge city ends abruptly and a huge wall. You can only cross the metal wall to get to other cities. Outside the walls were great deserts that spanned further than the horizon, like a huge sea of sand. They have roads winding through them. At 11:30 huge walls surround the roads and section off areas so that you must stay in until morning. These steel walls are to protect you from the mutants in the desert. 

The mutants have bird like legs, human arms with long white claws and bodies like huge goldfish. These monsters are strong enough to break through the thick steel walls that surround the roads, and often attack the people inside. 

So that is my dream and what I remember of the city, I really wish I could draw it up, but alas I don’t have any drawing skills like that. So if anyone wants to help me draw up a map or something for this one day that would be cool.
