What's this with you and I and our dark, creepy dreams. You know, I could loan you my porcelain serving dish to use as a shield ;) Write something!
: oh my god. i just woke up from the worst nightmare i've had in a long time. it was sooo real. for some reason i was coming home from somwhere really late and it was super dark. instead of parking in front of my apartment, i parked further down and around the corner. i remember not wanting to get out of the car for some reason or another, i was too scared, it didn't feel right. but, somehow i got up the courage to get on the car. however, instead of walking, i now had a bicycle to get from my car to my building, and instead of taking the sidewalk straight to my apartment from the parking lot, i took a longer way. i remember thinking how great this bike is because it was super light when i carried it up the stairs. i hesitated when i go to the top of the stares, again, a sense that something just wasn't right. i don't believe in my dream i had a neighbor upstairs, but i do remember thinking that the automatic outside light wasn't on and that was odd and creepy. there was also something sitting on the railing ofthe porch balcony, like a pizza box. i tried to remember, in my dream, if i had left it there in earlier in the day as i was maybe trying to rush out of the house, that was the only explanation i could come up with. and then when i tried the door, it was already unlocked. this really scared me, but then i definitely remembered that earlier in the morning i was in a bit of a haste when i left and when i ran out of the house, i had to go back inside because i forgot something. **these thoughts were weird flashbacks in my dream, like flashbacks in a movie**. freaked out by the door not being lock, out of nowhere, jillian jumps out and yells "Surprise!". this was also weird because in the dream i had a sense, as i was walking up the stairs, of her presence. i remember thinking to myself that jillian was here, but then pushed it away for whatever reason i did come up with. so i told her this, told her that i knew somehow that she'd be there. i had asked her how she got in and she said that all she had to do was ask the people in the office. this really freaked me out. i got upset "why would they let you in? they don't know you! i didn't tell them to let anyone in! if they let you in without any problems, what's to stop them from letting anyone else in?!?!?!?!" then i calmed down and we talked the way friends do and there are vague fuzzy memories of eating food with her.....
: SCENE SWITCH:
: i am already in bed sleeping, i can feel myself sleeping in my dream, but i couldn't see it, first person point of view. then i jolt awake by some strange noise. i looked at my radio and was upset that my cd was done playing, so it couldnt' have been it. it almost sounds like one of my cats' toys, but not quite the same. my heart pounds and i try to listen, and decide that i really don'tthink it is the cats' toy. i somehow muster up the courage to sit up and get out of bed. i don't know what i was thinking. jillian is no longer at my house, this dream is similar, but i guess its not really part of the same dream, definitely the same feeling of impending danger. so i get up and tried to turn on the light, it didn't work, but i remembered that for some reason it wasn't supposed to work, like i unplugged it earlier, or i dimmed it too much, i dunno, but anyhow in my mind that was justified. i went to the bathroom got a drink to calm myself from the "dream" that had woke me up, at this point, i placed the sound i was hearing as something that had happened in a dream. as i walked back to my room, i tried another light switch. this was close to the door, inside the room. i knew something was wrong, and instead of walking in the room and turning on the light, i stood along the wall, and reached around the inside of the door. i tried to flick on the light, but it didn't work. i KNEW this was wrong, there was no reason for this particular light not to work, i had used it earlier in the day, this was creepy, it had dawned on me that the power must have been cut. from where i was standing, i shouldnt have been able to see anything, but this is a dream, and in this case i could see. i could see two arms clothed in a long sleeve black shirt, holding some sort of cable, with which to strangle me, and i could see they were ready for me . they obviouslyknew where i was because i had tried the light, and they were standing right next to it. there was nothing for me to do, the jumped out and wrapped my throat with the cable.
: this is the point at which i woke up panting. of course, my cd player was off, and the apartment was absolutely silent, but for a moment i thought i heard the noise which i had heard in the dream. i sat there, hearing every sort of creek and crack and freaking out. many times loud noises wake us from sleep, and we don't quite realize it. so then i started thinking that maybe my that's what happened. i woke up from my nightmare because there really was a noise in the apartment, enough to startle me awake. i sat there thinking about all the possibilities, and then wondered what i actually would do if someone got in. made me wish i had a guy living in the house, more so, a boyfriend in bed that i could wake up and have check the house to secure my mind. but i didn't. instead, i grabbed the only thing around, a pen, if anything icould go for the eyes! i do have pepper spray, one in the car, and one sitting by the cmputer. i need to move it to next to my bed, just in case something does happen. having it in the living room does me no good if i'm asleep!
: well. its almost five in the morning. i guess i can put some music on and try to get back to sleep.
