I have two nightmares that I can remember. They’re not so scary now, but I was shaking like hell when I woke up from them.
The first one is a reccuring dream. I am in my house. It is dark because none of the light switches work, they only produce dim, creepy light. Everything, the walls, the ceiling, the floor, the whole world seems to be shaded dark purple. I realize that this statue that always scared me when I was a little kid has come alive and is running through the house. I am on the second floor, and I try to run away, but it feels like I’m running through jelly. I’m not paralysed, and my feet arent stuck to the ground, but I can only move in slow motion. I try to run down the stairs, and as I leave the first step I realize I am not running down them but I am running straight forward in midair, as if there is an invisible piece of floor going out from the top step. Then I wake up.
The other one happened only once. I was with a bunch of characters from a cartoon show I used to watch. It was cool, but I couldn’t shake a feeling that there was something wrong. I am running down a hill of dirt, the sky is dark and there is a huge billboard in front of me. It has an ad on it, nothing weird about that. But when I get closer, the picture on it changes. It changes to a picture of a tree, but the tree has something carved in the side. I look. The carved image is the most terrifying face that I have ever seen in my life. I scream. Then I wake up. Throughout the rest of the day, that face was stuck in my head, haunting me. I can’t remember what it looks like now, or why it scared me so much, but it scared me.
There was another time a couple days ago. I didn’t have a nightmare, in fact I can’t even remember my dream that night. But when I woke up, I had a phrase stuck in my head. I couldn’t stop thinking of the lyrics to the Pink Floyd song “One Of These Days.” That may not sound freaky to you, but the lyrics to the song happen to be one sentence “one of these days I’m gonna cut you into little pieces.” I hadn’t listened to the song recently, but I like to put the radio on a classic rock station when I go to sleep so maybe the song played while I was sleeping and got stuck in my subconcious. Either way, it was weird.
