What does it feel like in a rave?

Answer 1

First, you must find where the rave is. So you've called the infoline, and they gave you an adress, and vague directions on how to get there. It's a place you've never been to... On your mission, you meet other people looking for the same place, you recognize them by their excited faces and because of the clothes they are wearing - usually very colorful.

So with the help of your new friends you've finally found the place. You can hear the thumping of the beats. Now you are standing in line at the gate, because they are searching people to make sure they don't bring weapons, alcohol or drugs. They take your ticket and then... you're inside!

Inside it looks like another world. There is already a lot of people dancing, but not everyone has arrived yet so the room is not packed. The room is dark and there are lazers, blacklights, etc... Some people are dancing with glowsticks, some people are really amazing dancers too!

Maybe you will take some drugs. Maybe you will not. But you start to dance because the music draws you in. When you dance, you feel you are a part of it. People are smiling, having a great time, and you're one of them. Someone gives you a lollipop, a sip of a water bottle, or something else. People share a lot, because the motto of ravers is PLUR, which means Peace, Love, Unity, Respect.

Now you're tired so you decide to go sit down. The person who offered you the water earlier is sitting close and she waves to you. Maybe someone ask you if you want a massage, or you start trying to have a conversation with someone but the music is too loud and you're both just laughing.

After you've rested for a while, you go back and dance more. It continues like this for hours, until it's the morning and the music stops. You can't believe it's the morning already... you thought this night would never end! People get their stuff together and leave. The sun light is a shock to your eyes, and you are tired.

The ride back home is fun because the bus is filled with people from the rave, all tired. Maybe you go chillout to someone's place before going to sleep, but then you go home and crash. And then you sleep for a really long time.
