A Dream to End All Dreams
Any of you out there ever had one of those dreams that you just couldn't describe, but, at the same time, couldn't get out of your head? I had one of those last night. I remember it only in bits and pieces but it was so vivid when I woke up... like I had just gone out drinking and I was being treated to the ugliest of hangovers. The weirdest part was that I felt everything that happened in the dream, and actually woke up with bruises form where I was hit. Weird as it may be, people, I'm not bullshitting you. I had a dream that I was being chased by somebody and I couldn't get away from them. I suddenly learned to fly but I couldn't get enough air to get up and out of there and he/she/it grabbed my leg, (I have a bruise with five distinct finger-marks where I figure I was grabbed), and threw me to the ground. I got up, only to be kicked in the chest, (I have a bruise on my chest and I've had trouble breathing since I woke up that day). I finally got up and hit the thing back but when I hit it my hand went through it's face, only to pull it back covered with a dark brown mucous all over my hand. Again the thing struck, this time into my stomach. I don't have a bruise there but I figure it was because I have alot of padding there for protection. That one knocked the wind out of me and I collapsed to the ground coughing up blood and pieces of lung, (I found blood specks on my pillow when I woke up, again no bullshit). He hit me again in the face but i brushed that one off and kicked it in the leg, sending it to the ground as well. It rolled over onto me and looked at me with that grayness, only it wasn't grayness anymore... it was more like a reddish hue of brown with pale spots where the ears would be. It "stared" at me with that sick coldness and began to melt on top of me. I could feel it getting colder and colder as it melted itself into me... that's right, it actually started melting into me... like the T-1000 in Terminator 2... only weirder. ...I woke up after that, too scared to go back to sleep. I brushed the blood one off as a complete fluke but couldn't explain the handprint grip on my leg or the trouble breathing lately. It was weird and it scared me badly, not to mention scarred me as well. I don't know what to do... I checked the marks a little while ago and they're already gone... was I seeing things? Did I just see what my mind wanted me to see? I don't know but whatever it was it wasn't pretty. Hopefully it'll be better if I can sleep tonight.......... if.
