Dreaming of dragons by D.M Larson

What do you dream about? I dream about dragons.  All the time.  I know they're not real but I want them to be.  Sure, most boys dream about superheroes but I... I love dragons... And fire.

I want to ride my dreams in to the night sky and fly over the moon.

Dragons live in dreams.  But what if we could make our dreams real? I could fly away from here and never come back.  Leave a world of worries behind.

Does that mean the nightmares would be real too?  Maybe.  It's not worth it then.  My nightmares are pretty bad.

I'll keep the dragons in my dreams. I don't need any more nightmares in my life.

I like this monologue because its quite funny, however I find it difficult to act a younger age, I can do older aged things because I find it easier to relate to a mature character. However acting like an 8 year old is my weak spot and it may show when im trying to act it, this monologue is also very short so I doubt ill even pass the one minute mark, although the monologue is my gender I don't think its right for me, because I cant easily put myself in the boys shoes, A monologue like this one wont do my acting skills any justice either, because its around 30 seconds long. I don't think that Morley college or the uni of Windsor would accept this monologue, so im afraid 'Dreaming of dragons' doesn't make my shortlist.
