Nightmares
The title is literal. I've had two straight nightmares now. Both were (fortunately) in the morning - which is weird. The nightmares are about something synonymous to the word itself - ghosts.
Two days ago, I awoke unpleasantly at 6:30 AM. I just had a nightmare. I even remember this one in detail...
I'm driving by a road which reminds me of a greenland in the States. I'm lost, but it didn't bother me because I was exploring the place. After a while, I decide to go back up the road to head for home (wherever that was in the dream). The dream was fine up to this point. I passed a landmark rice field on my left when I see a girl of around 20 walking by just on the right side of the road. There was a very peculiar feeling about this moment and I noticed something odd immediately. The girl was blinking on and off. Quite similar to what you see when your playing a video game and get hit - your character then flickers opaque then transparent rapidly.
I was looking at her the whole time. She stopped flickering when I reached around 50 yards from her. She wouldn't look back. She was just looking down at the road. Being in a dream. It really didn't bother me. I continued down the road.
I reached a part of the road wherein I had to pass under a bridge. Everything around me was still green. Fields of green.
As soon as I reached the bridge, a girl (I'm not sure if she was the same girl or different) moved slowly past me on the left side very close to my car's door. Take note I was in a car and travelling around 60 kph by estimate. This time, she was looking at me. I just looked into her eyes. She had a smile that was definitely not one of sincerity, but rather, a smile of "I'm sorry, I'll see you soon". She had what I might call a stagnant beauty about her.
I awake...
I usually forget my dreams; however, I remembered this one clearly after 48 hours as you may have noticed. What pushed me to write about it was a follow up dream this morning. This more recent nightmare actually gave me trouble going back to sleep albeit it was morning! This one I can't recall completely... it is however, more subtle and more abtruse and a lot more disturbing...
I'm in our old house at Paranaque at night. I have lyrics of a song (I think it was a love song) flashed in front of me. No projector, just illuminated words. I make my mother, who is sitting beside me, read the lyrics. Then for some reason, the lyrics vanish. But it doesn't bother me, I got to appreciate the moonlight instead of noticing the eerie atmosphere. My state of serenity is abruptly distorted when I hear a scream I can still hear very well. My left ear felt like it was going to pop by the intensity of the 'ghostly' outburst. I then get a visual when I follow the yell. A man resembling a 'taong grasa' charges at my mom who doesn't seem to notice anything. When the 'taong grasa' is in range of hitting my mom, he notices me. He stares. I stare back. Emotions of surprise, anger, and hatred flow from his cold eyes...
I awake...
I couldn't sleep after this. Take note it was morning. It felt like I watched The Ring 2 all over again.
Look behind you...
I always hate it when I imagine a girl's head with ruffled hair slowly rising from the foot of my bed...
Look again...
