The Manor of Sleep
Evreyone please listen to me. You don't have to read this if you don't want to, but this is a warning for all because it pertains to everyone.
Recently I've been having these nightmares. Normal I would shrug them off as if they were nothing, but this one is special. Shortly after I lost someone that I loved, this dream repeats over and over. In my dream I appear in front of this house, not knowing how or when I got there. It's snowing greatly and can't see anyone around or anywhere to go but inside. As I approach the house, I get this errie feeling that I can never let go. As I approach the door, I see him, Yuu, my fianceé. I rush towards the door to meet him, but he is gone by the time I get there. I feel an unbelieveable presence in the house, but still I go in with my only visible exit behind me, locked. As I venture further in, I see him again I call out to him but he walks away, as if I wasn't heard. Further and further into the manor I follow, losing my way at the sametime.
And then I see her, another woman. As I approach her, she is mumbling something, "It's not my fault, It's not my fault, It's not my fault..." then she runs away terrified and screaming madly. I couldn't imagine what whould frighten her so much... then I turn around. Down the hall I can see a faint figure slowly creeping down the hall. I strain to see who or what it is, but there isn't enough light. And just as it approaches my face, I close my eyes and turn in fear. But nothing happened. It was no longer there in my sight. As I turn around to proceed and find a way out, I come face to face with her. It was a woman. Her body completely covered in a tattoo like artwork. A snake? A blue snake completely covered her. I was so terrified that I was stiff. As she came upon me, I regained my strength and retreated in the opposite direction. The woman gave hast and chased me down the hall, reaching out to me. Then, right before I make the exit she touches me with her incredibly icy-cold hands. The pain is unimaginable, I still feel it while I'm awake. Then I burst through the doors, into the light.
I awaken...
As I stated earlier, when I wake up, the pain is still there where she touched me. And everyday, the pain spreads like a rash. Affecting more and more of my body.
Why this dream? Why was Yuu in there? I could still be truamatized by the event of his death? The fact that I feel responsible? Have anyone of you had the same dream after losing someone precious to you?
Also, I am showing great concern for my roommate Miku. She is my late-fianceé's little sister. She has been living with us because she is interested in photography and my apprentice. Normally she is upbeat, but recently, her cheerful dimmeaner has deminished almost to non existant. Could she also be having nightmares? If I put two and two together, I can also recall that she lost someone precious to her. Mayafuku his name was if I recall correctly. She never said if it was her boyfriend or anything, but given her age at the time, I doubt it. I never bothered to ask. Maybe this is what is bringing her attitude down? Maybe she can't handle the loss of my similar eperience. I have to question her and find out. I don't want her to suffer as I do. I have to see what's going on with her.
Lately, I have been receiving mail from Kei Amakura, Yuu's bestfriend. He is a researcher of folklores. In his resent letter he said that his niece's (Mio Amakura) twin sister (Mayu Amakura) had deceased a month ago. Its not something that she likes to talk about, so he never questioned her. He says that she sleeps often and is only awake a few hours a day. Once she slept two days strait without awakening. The poor thing must still be truamatised by the events that she and her sister experienced. I wonder if everyone has bad dreams when they lose someone precious to them?
I did research, and similar cases have been found in my experience. People claim that they are spirited away into the "House of Sleep". A large mannor in a snowy forest area. I've tried to contact people that have been having these dreams, but they all file under missing persons... What could have happened to them? Will the same happen to me; cease to exist without a trace? All I know is that I have to figure all this out before it's too late.
But to all who have read this in full, if you have similar problems, or know someone who has, contact me. If you lose someone you loved greatly, don't dwell on it. It's not your fault. Don't become a victim and be spirited away into this "House of Sleep."

Now you're probably asking yourself with this has to do with me?... I'm having the same nightmares. And my body is in pain now. I know it's because its from the weather change, but I just can't help but think about it. I've also reaseached Japanese folklores online, and there are many things that are frightening and interesting. Heh, maybe I read these things too much... (-_-;)
