i had the most disturbing dream of my life last night. it was so horrible i don't think i can put it into good enough words to describe exactly how i felt, the imagery, which was overwhelming. the sequence of events and main theme are blurry now, but i guess i could try.
I feel as though this whole thing had a title, but as of now i cannot recall.
I don't know where we were, but we (myself and someone older, i don't know who) got out of the car and walked up to the building. i think it was an inn. it was closed, but we went in anyway. no one was there, but the lights were on. there were beautiful rooms. we walked all through it, to the back. where it wasn't so glamourous. it was plain, and a little eery. everything was white, and there was a hidden little area, i went to look, but there was nothing there. this comes back up later in the dream.
so i don't remember but happened from there, but i then started running from something, but i couldn't really run, and it was snowy and cold out. i guess i got caught. then i was at this place, like a house. and here is where it got bad. i can't even describe what it looked like or the feelings it aroused in me. there was a man, who was keeping people hostage i suppose, except he had no weapon. there was a family, i think, being held there. and somehow i fit into the picture. everyone was so skinny, and looked sickly. their skin was weird, i didn't understand it. he was eating them, but not in the way of a cannibal. it was like the man was draining them somehow, and using it for his own benefit. no one could escape. it was known that there were others there, even though we couldn't see them. I knew there was someone i was trying to rescue, or something of the sort. he had too many people here to count. the place seemed so small. this eating/draining, trying to escape routine continued for some time. i somehow escaped, running through the snow again, but i got nowhere, of course, and was returned to the man. He was nowhere in sight, so i went to other parts of the house. i went into a room, and this is where the eery white room comes back into play. i looked around, and was hesitant to look into the hidden area again. i looked, and there was a woman so tiny and feeble, she was repulsive. i picked her up, went up the stairs into a pink room, and tried desperately to hide her. i finally found a place, and right as i set her down, i saw him. he was rather upset. i think he left her alone, and i have no idea what happened, but i think we overcame him. because he was gone, for good. So we all recovered, almost immediately. The five (give or take a few) people who i was held captive with all stayed at the house. we made it beautiful. The woman i was trying to save and I were sitting on the back porch, and i was afraid. She showed me this room that looked like a warehouse, she said he kept hundreds of women, and a few men, locked up here. She showed me everything about the house. Something changed, and i was running through the yard of the house, trying to get away from something. i ran to a tree, the ground felt like straw and vines. we were by the water, i ran/fell down to it. a ball was in the water that i was trying to retrieve. on the top of the hill from where i came, there was a group of people, they all looked rather unhealthy. They welcomed me so i went back up to the house with them. i was sitting alone on the porch when the woman came out. She seemed different, and all of a sudden i realized why. She had started to eat/drain all of the other people. She was trying to pretend she didn't, like i was crazy, but i knew better. I was trying to escape from her, but she caught me. and then i had this terrible feeling of dread, fear, and pain; i saw her face smirking, and i knew it was over. everything went black.
that isn't even a comparison to the horrible feelings i felt throughout the entire dream. i don't think any words could do justice to it. the concept is unlike anything i've ever experienced or even thought about. it's too unrealistic and freaky to explain what was happening.
