Strange Cannibalistic Dreams With Haunting Melody is What Greets Me When I Sleep
I dreamt that I was living with a bunch of people in a series of log cabins out in the middle of the woods somewhere. It was winter time, and freezing out. Then this guy who was new to our community started acting really weird. And members of our group had gone missing. The rest of our group assumed that they just high-tailed it and left our 'commune?' because they couldn't take the isolation anymore. So in my dream, I went into this woman's cabin to ask her a question. Instead I hear her begging for her life, and her muffled screams as she gets murdered. Then he ripped away at her flesh with his teeth and i knew he was cannibalistic. I bolt away, and from the safety of my own cabin see the New Guy come out. However he took notice of my tracks in the snow, and that they were fresh. As I was looking out the window, his eyes locked on mine and I knew I was fucked.
So I took off running out the backdoor. I headed down to the river, and threw myself into it. Even though it was freezing cold and i knew I would get hypothermia, I'd rather freeze to death than get eaten alive. I held myself against the side of a cliff face, hoping it would give me cover if he was looking for me from above. When I heard splashing in the water, I knew I was screwed. So I started trying to swim. Swim to the other side of the river, and get away from him before he reached me. As he came he was singing this bizaare song:
"Come...With...Me...
My...Dear...My...Darling
Come...With Me...
To the River and Falls"
The tune was severely synocapted and his voice sounded something like individual strings being plucked on a harp. If you remember to ask me, I can hum it for you. It really made the entire dream a thousand times more disturbing. I managed to drag myself from the river and run as fast as I could, through the woods. However my body was freezing up and i fell. Landed on the ground to weak to move.
"You know why I have no qualms about killing you?" the New guy asked me.
"You are all the same...you are all not without guilt...no innocence." He continued.
I was trying to drag myself away from him at this point, but I knew it was hopeless. I could hear him humming that tune as he got closer.
"When I first started, I thought I could stop at any time. But now all I seem to do is crave it..."
He picked up humming again, and i felt a thousand tiny knives stabbing at me as I staggered to all fours, trying to crawl to the woods. Something must have distracted him, because he lost interest in me. I used it to drag myself into the brush, not carrying that the nettles and prickers were digging into my flesh.
"Drink...Drink...Drink,
My...Dear...my darling,
Drink, Drink, Drink,
And Drink some more."
I saw him, heard him laughing, as he was heading back toward the river. I heard a splash, and knew that he had thrown himself in. I let out a breathe I didn't know I had been holding, but I couldn't find the strength to take in another. I shut my eyes.... and woke up.
