Something Is Wrong With Her Face

People are ecstatic. Oprah is coming to our building. I know beforehand that something is wrong with her. In fact, I am afraid to look at her face. Oprah arrives and walks up onto the stage in the auditorium. I am walking the halls around the auditorium, but I can see her through windows and openings. Something is wrong with her face. Every time I look, it becomes more and more contorted.

I walk away from the gathering and toward the end of the building, which is a castle. My sister, Morgan, appears. We need to fight an evil queen that resides up a set of concrete stairs. We enter the queen's throne room. I have been here once before, but Morgan has not. To me, the queens' appearance is frightening. She appears as a nine-foot, purple dragon with a tail. Standing next to her is a ghost of herself. To Morgan, the queen seems reasonable. I assume that every time one sets their eyes on the queen, she changes and deteriorates into something more sinister.

We don't end up fighting the dragon but instead talk to her. We leave the throne room and head toward the auditorium. We stop in a storage room where our friends are hiding. Everyone sits around a white table. We are the only ones who see something wrong with Oprah's face.

Madman

Dream 12/1/2018

I'm dating a girl whose father is a madman. She runs away from home. I meet her at an abandoned school where she has made one of the old classrooms her place to live. Somehow, her father has followed us. We hear him in the echoey downstairs hallways. The girl makes her bed and tries to arrange her room correctly so that if he finds it, he passes by. We hear his footsteps. He's made it upstairs to where we are. I run out into the hallway to cause a distraction. I enter the boy's bathroom and start screaming. The father walks in. There are stair steps at the other end of the loo. I run up the stairs as he chases behind me.

Later, much later, the father has gathered a group of young people. We are his prisoners, and he is the evil dictator. It's reminiscent of the movie The Postman. Somehow, I piss the dictator off. His face catches fire and burns his long gray hair and beard clean off. When the flame has done its business, he is a bald, black man. Dream ends.

I wake up

The Underground

Nightmare 1.1.2018

My mother and I visit the cinema to see a scary movie. The movie feels real. As if we are there. In fact, we are in some way. At one point we are with a team of scientists and military in a forgotten underground that is seemingly haunted. The scientists know there is an evil presence down here. They study in one area. My mom and I disappear for a second. When we come back to the underground area, the scientists are gone. I look around and see scientific equipment working. I immediately understand that the evil presence is about to show up. Although this is a movie, I know that somehow it is real. I tell my mom to log off right now. She does so. I watch her disappear in front of my eyes. Just as my mom disappears, the evil presence appears as a dash of white light. I run down the hall and find the scientists and the military.

We walk back toward the entrance. Someone is complaining about me being here. A scientist woman responds that down in the underground she has met ghosts and giants, so me being here doesn't seem like a big deal.

Back to reality, I'm sitting in a movie theater, although it is very small. The size of a single office space. Only one other person is viewing the movie alongside me. An older woman. We never speak. Just a few polite glances. At 7:30, I am ready to walk out of the movie. I feel bad that my mom is waiting outside. Just then, an usher walks in and tells us that they've corrected the movie. I didn't know anything was wrong with it. I sit back down and finish the movie.

When the screening is over, I walk out to a fast food restaurant where my mom is waiting. I order food, chicken tenders.

We arrive at an underground terminal on a subway train. We leave our luggage in the train cars because we are staying the night in the terminal. It really scares me to walk out, late at night, to the trains. The lights are off, the air is cold and everything is quiet. I run out there real quick to grab something and I run back to the terminal. Later on, I play with the control buttons and move some of the trains forward on the tracks. When I walk back to the terminal, I see a bunch of friends from high school. We hang out for a minute in an arcade in the terminal. Dream ends.

Natural Born Killer

Nightmare 9/22/2017

Somebody I used to know, a boy named Kirk, has told me of his evil intentions. He is going to come to school with a shotgun and party hardy. He wants a massacre.

The day comes.

My class is standing by the entrance of the school when Kirk pulls out his weapon. He starts shooting. Students run in every direction. I run outside. In the parking lot, there are several other students with guns shooting the running ones. I find out later that all of the guns are fake including Kirk's.

The day comes. For real.

Students from my class are standing in the senior hallway when Kirk pulls out his shotgun. He starts shooting. It's hard to explain the dread that comes with the thought that you are about to die. I slip by Kirk and run outside. He doesn't notice. I run across the street and the student parking lot to a field where I have a couple of tents set up. I hide until the madness is done. I can still hear the gunshots. Dream ends.

I wake up

Just Beyond The Trees

Dream 8/22/2017

I am living in a time when great war has killed off major population centers around the world. Now, there are a few people scattered here and there. Gangs of evil men roam the earth as well.

I am living off the land. I've found an abandoned tree house-like structure. I climb up onto the second floor and that is where I sleep. I can't sleep on the third floor because there is no roof. The rain would surely get me. I do have a couple of friends.

I herd sheep. It's a nice way to have clothing and the occasional lamb chop. One day, I walk down a hill near my pasture. I've never entered this area before because of the high brush. When I get to the bottom of the hill, I find myself in a dense, dark forest. I see wolves just beyond the trees.

Evil men have come onto our land. We know these men. They know us. My two friends and I hide in a small shack. Two of the evil men walk up to the shack. At first, I don't think they see us. We keep very still. Then, the evil man opens the door. He aims his gun at my friend's head and shoots. He closes the door. My friend is dead. The evil man opens the door again, aims his gun at my other friend and shoots. He is dead. The evil man knows that I am here but decides to keep me alive. I guess to him, the gift of loneliness and grief is much worse than death itself. The evil men leave my land.

I jump into a large front loader. I don't think it is mine. It must belong to the evil men. I drive away from my land forever, looking for a new place to call home. The evil men are on my trail and they are blazing down the country roads in search of me.

I come across a man in a semi-truck. I will call him "Bill." I tell Bill who I am and what I've been through. He allows me to join his people. I follow him back to his home. He opens his barn doors for me to hide the front loader. As I jump out of the loader and exit the barn I tell him that I am a hard worker and I won't be any trouble. Bill's wife is here as well.

The next day, our village goes to work. We travel down the road a bit to a small farm plot. Just when we get there, the evil men in search of me show up. They ask Bill if he or his people has seen me. At this time, I am in a large truck. Two kids are with me. I slowly open the doors and let them out. I keep my face hidden by a yellow toboggan hat I am wearing. The men walk around the farm to have a look. I stand perfectly still next to the a truck, hoping they don't walk my way.

The evil men leave. I am free at last. Our people get to work. Bill calls me over to pick up a pile of dirt and leaves with a bobcat skid steer. Dream ends.

Morning Glory, Evening Grace

Dream 2/7/2017

     Something strange starts to occur in the night time sky. Stars from all over start to get sucked to one point in the sky. Everything in the sky flies to it. This takes place until the morning. I walk outside and find several neighbors looking up. One neighbor is holding a video camera. I ask a couple what is going on? They tell me it's been happening all night. I wonder out loud if it is a black hole. They don't know. Nobody does.

     My mom is driving the car. She drives though a wooded area into a clearing where an iced over lake is found. It is the dead of winter. She drives onto the ice. We all command my mom's attention. "I think you are on the lake right now," one of us says. We coach her on how to get back to land without crashing through the ice. "Stay in the middle, mom, and go very slowly." She gets back to land without any problems.

     My sister, her kids and I take shelter in a small cabin in the woods by the lake, far from civilization. That night, we hear someone or something in our cabin. It breaks through our door. It's an Extra Terrestrial. We run but we cannot escape. The alien kills us all. 

     The next night my sister lies down along with her kids and go to sleep. I stay up. I know that aliens are going to attack like they did the night before when we died. I search the house for any weapons. I find a chainsaw. "That's a good one," a familiar voice reckons behind me. It's my brother-in-law, Chad. I look down and see another chainsaw, only smaller. I give the big chainsaw to Chad since he is over six feet tall. I take the little one. 

     We wait. Late at night, early in the morning, several aliens try to break into our cabin. Chad tells me that if we truly want to beat them, we need to become aliens ourselves. One of the aliens outside is not evil, so I ask him to make me an alien. He has me look into a little mirror-like object and I see my eyes change. The same happens with Chad. We start fighting the aliens one by one, killing them, protecting my sister and her kids. Most of the space beings are dead, but one gets by us and walks into the bedroom where my family sleeps. The alien is Gillian Anderson from the X-Files. She gets close to my sister ready to kill when I grab my buck knife and throw it. The knife stabs straight through Gillian's head and pins her to the headboard of the bed. Just so that I know she is dead and won't come back, I stab her multiple times in the face until her face looks like spaghetti sauce. 

     In the evening we weren't sure we would live until morning. But in the morning, we knew our victory by each breath that we took. Dream ends.

I WAKE UP

Deja Vu

Nightmare 3/4/16

A group of twenty to thirty people are having a get together in a house near the highway.

There is no road that connects the highway directly to the house. You must take a back road. The people gather. A monster is coming. Evil is coming. He is 11'7. The face he wears is not his own. He wields a rusty chainsaw. His fantasy is blood. I have deja vu. I know this feeling. I've been here before. I know he is coming. If I were to walk outside the house right now, I would see him trodding up the dirt road. I have to get out. I run out of the house and toward the highway. Cars drive up and down. I don't need a ride, I just need to get away. I run down the highway and never stop.

Later, I hear that the monster found the house. He killed everyone in it. Dream ends.

I wake up


(That same night, I'm not even kidding, my mom had the following dream.)


"We gather in our house. The family is all here. A monster is coming. He has blades for fingers. He wants to murder us. The second oldest nephew, Owen, somehow gets outside the house and runs. We have to get him before the monster does. We chase after Owen. The monster keeps coming." Dream ends.

Amish Paradise

Dream 11/18/2015

My family has moved to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

We live in a trailer park. Everyone in the park is friendly and community oriented. My mom joins a group of friends. They want to take her to their clubhouse. I have a bad feeling. As they walk through a field to their club, I run up to my mom and tell her that they are an evil cult. My mom and I run away. Afraid that the cult is chasing us, we hide under a neighbors porch.

Someone is coming. We hear them approaching. A girl lowers her head to see us under the porch. It isn't a cult member, it's a friend of mine that I knew once upon a time in Texas. She brings us to her trailer and lets us clean up. She gives us fresh clothes to wear.

We get in her car and drive. We drive near an amusement park located on a cliff. It was once a great place but has recently started deteriorating. We return to the trailer park.

I go hang out with my Amish friend. His father tells me to grab the net in the shed and catch some fish for dinner. A pond is directly in front of their home. I take the net to the pond and drop it in the water. A grizzly bear sneaks up on me. I run to the Amish home. All of us stand on the porch watching the bear. A baby bear walks up to the porch. We play with it. The Amish father says that he'll catch the fish.

Neighbors from all over the park come to the pond to watch the Amish man fish while avoiding ferocious grizzlies. A man standing next to me says, "hey Keith, haven't seen you in a long time." It startles me because not many people know me. I turn to see who it is. It's a man that I knew back in Anderson, Indiana when I was young. Back then was was socially awkward and nerdy. He's changed a lot. He has gauges in his ears and wears a hoodie.

The Amish man catches the fish. Tables are set up outside the house. The Amish family cooks delicious food. The neighbors find a place to sit and we eat together. Dream ends.

I wake up.

The Duel

Dream 2-15-14

I have a jetpack. I'm flying through a city. I come to the edge of the city where begins a desert wasteland. About a hundred yards into the desert is a hut. Hearsay tells me that the government will pay me to live there. I want to confirm this. Next to the desert is a very tall building. At the top is an open bar. I fly up to the bar and see an old friend of mine named Kirk. I ask him if I may speak to his boss. His boss and I converse about the hut. Everything works out. I have myself a new home.

As I live my desert life in the hut, I notice that a giant, evil robot is loitering on my land. I walk out to confront him. A duel begins. I choose my first set of weapons, two swords in either hand. I fight with the swords for a bit, but they do no damage to my metal foe. I then pull two handguns. At this time, a few robotic minions, no where near the size of the the giant come to attack me. I run down into a ravine to fight them off. After destroying the little ones, I turn my focus back toward the giant. I pull out a shotgun. We battle it out. From what I know, the fight continues today. Dream ends. 

I wake up.

The Murder

Nightmare 6-3-13 

I'm in a hotel room sitting with another boy. His heart is full of evil. There are a couple of kids here as well. The evil boy starts to rape one of the kids. I grab the children and run. We escape the room and make it through the hallway to the elevator. In the downstairs lobby, I wait for the boy with evil in his heart. The elevator doors open, and I walk toward him. I start to beat him senselessly. I punch him time and time again. There is blood covering him, me, and the lobby floor. I take one last look at him. I think he is dead. I don't feel bad for what I've done. Dream ends.

I wake up.
