open and make me vanish?

Not so easy!

I am the danger of dreaming!

For every person

who dreams up the electric light bulb,

there's the one

who dreams up the atom bomb!

This is one dream

you won't be waking up from!

I'm gonna put an end

to this ridiculous tangent at its source!

Where did he go?!

He's headed to Earth!

He's going to try and destroy you

in your sleep.

In my sleep?

You mean I'm asleep?

- All this time I've been asleep?

- No.

- You're dreaming, Max.

- With your eyes open.

Make the dream real.

You can live out your dreams on Earth.

Just like you made us real.

Make it real.

Blink your eyes three times.

One...

- Wait, what happens when...?

- Two...

Will I ever see you again?

Three.

Everyone follow me, I said!

We got to find shelter!

Max, get up!

There's a tornado heading our way!

It's not a tornado!

It's much worse than that!

Linus, wake up!

Look!

Charge!

It's Mr. Electric from Planet Drool!

The one from my dreams!

You mean... this is real?

Your dream is real?

Some dreams are so powerful,

they become real.

I don't believe it.

- It's right there in front of you!

- I can see that!

What I can't believe is... you dreamt me

as a big, round bad guy!

I'm not bad!

Sorry. Kinda took on a life of its own.

Max is in Building C!

No, he's not! He's in Building W!

That was the other school!

Aaargh!

Help!

Aaargh!

Find Max! Tell him I love him!

Don't leave me!

I thought you wanted me to leave!

No, I don't.

You're my best friend!

I love you!

I love you too.

- Aaargh...!

- No!

Come back!

Please... come back.

I'm not going anywhere.

Neither am I.

Aah... Aargh!

Uh-oh.

Aaargh...!

OK, class. I'm just a teacher and

I'm here to inspire the answers from you.

And I think that's some

pretty good inspiration outside.

So this is now a pop quiz!

We need to defeat that guy!

Any ideas?

Wow, Linus, you get a plus

for being the first hand in the air!

I can take him.

Linus, watch out!

- Poop.

- Aaargh!

Oh!

Nice try.

Sorry, Max. Your journal.

It's OK. It was an accident.

Plenty more dreams where those came from.

OK, kids, who's next?

Remember, there are no dumb ideas.

- Maybe we can freeze his circuits!

- That's the dumbest idea I ever heard.

We're in the middle of Texas in August!

Next idea? Anyone but Linus.

Wait, that's a great idea!

Thanks, Linus.

Come here, Marissa.

Is this yours?

How'd you find it?

So you've seen this?

Yes, but... only in a dream.

- It can freeze anything.

- Even time.

What are you doing?

You're not sending my daughter out there.

Let her out.

Electrical storm headed your way!

- Do you know what to do?

- I believe so.

Stand back.

Oh, who do we have here?

Get ready for the mega-hurts!

Get it? Hertz?

As in the unit of electrical frequency?

Wow, you're just not paying attention in class,

are you?

Ooh!

Whoa! Awesome!

He's unplugged!

Yeah!

You made me a great teacher today.

How did I do that?

A great teacher learns as much

from his students as they do from him.

You have... awakened me.

Thank you, Max.

Max.

Your report, please.

The following story is true.

It might have started as a dream,

but, as we saw yesterday,

when we make our dreams a reality...

reality becomes a dream.

Sharkboy lives his dream

as king of the ocean,

where he cares for

all its creatures.

He searches for his father's submarine

where there is no light...

except in one place, where light shines

almost as bright as the sun.

It's where Lavagirl lives her dream,

as queen of Earth's volcanoes

that boil at the bottom of the sea,

a force of life for

all living things.

Sharkboy and Lavagirl

don't visit me anymore.

But I can visit them in my dreams.

So dream a better dream...

then work to make it real.

Yes?
