Trick, Treat, and Twilight



     The dusk settled thick over Sandoval, Illinois, a town now humming with the quiet murmurs of Halloween. Caught between the veil of sleep and the waking world, I found myself threading through the cool streets, each breath mingling with the cool whispers of autumn. Nearby, the familiar haven of my aunt and uncle's dwelling stood as a comforting silhouette against the eerie unfoldings of the night.

     The young adventurers, my nieces and nephews, embarked into the night's fold with laughter as their lanterns, their small fists holding onto bags yearning for candy. The town seemed to have tucked away its playful spirit, leaving the streets barren of other youthful trick-or-treaters.

     I trailed their innocent venture, my steps hurried by the cold fingers of concern that clutched at my heart. The streets of Sandoval seemed to cradle an eerie silence that night, a silence only broken by the distant laughter of my kin.

     As they delved deeper into the night's enigma, an unexpected turn sent a cold shiver down my spine. A figure emerged from the shadows, not menacing in appearance, but holding a subtle, unsettling intention. The script of their evening took an uncanny turn as this figure, veiled in enigma, obstructed their path home. Not a villain, but a keeper of unsettling whims borne from the night's whisper.

     Fueled by a gentle storm of love and fear, I stood firm against the veiled threat, the narrative of care against the obscure intentions carried by the Halloween night.

     Then, under a pale gleam of streetlight, a startling sight awaited as I glanced at my niece, Anna. Her leg bore the markings of eerie hollows, and peering into them revealed an unsettling emptiness, a surreal vision amidst the quaint and quiet streets of Sandoval.

     Guiding their tender souls back to the warm embrace of home, the scene shifted gently, leaving behind a quiet echo of eerie wonder. The night whispered a tale of mild dread, its words now nestled within the hushed corners of the mind, waiting to be inked under the soft glow of dawn's first light.


I wake up



Meanings: This dream might symbolize a myriad of unfolding scenarios, each carrying its own whisper of fate. It might be hinting at the acquisition of property, possibly through inheritance or legal channels, marking a tangible shift in material circumstances. Similarly, it could be foretelling a moment of recognition within community affairs, a moment under the spotlight of communal acknowledgment.

Amidst the hopeful whispers, there's also a hint of loss, an eerie foreshadowing that may be preparing the dreamer for an impending moment of letting go. Yet, as one door seemingly closes, another opens with the promise of good news soon to grace the dreamer's path, a silver lining amidst the cloud of uncertainty.

The dream also carries a soothing promise of liberation from worry, a gentle assurance that a tranquil mind might be on the horizon. It's a narrative interwoven with both hope and dread, a complex tapestry that reflects the multifaceted nature of life's unfolding journey. Each scene in the dream mirrors a possible reality, echoing both the fears and the hopes that accompany the human experience.

Miscellaneous #4

Dream 12.21.2017




I'm in my cousin's bedroom in Sandoval, Illinois. Two girls are with me. I am watching internet videos. The girls warn me not to watch a certain video. It shows a lady turning into a bunny. Her face becomes so grotesque. So deformed. It is haunting. I watch it and become terrified.

I'm in a race. Sort of like Mario Kart. My friend Adam and I find a shortcut in the track. In the shortcut, we find treasure. I don't think we win the race.

I sought counsel from a life coach when I was in the 6th grade. I had a kidney transplant at that time. The 6th grade comes after 5th. That was a long time ago. Longer than I had thought.

I am in another race. I am driving a car that looks like Doc Brown from Back To The Future. My car has the ability to fly. The track is not clear cut. I have trouble figuring out where to go. I definitely don't win this race.

My friend's mom is the coach of the soccer team. She asks me to retrieve a soccer ball that got stuck in the net. The net is 20 - 30 feet high. The ball is stuck at the very top. Piece of cake. I start to climb but as I get higher, I become scared. I don't retrieve the ball. I ponder buying a new soccer ball for the team since I wimped out.

I am walking through my home. It is dark. It is night. I am alone. I look over toward the kitchen. On the microwave is a book about Resurrection Mary, the ghost that is seen around the city of Chicago. I become terrified just knowing that the book is in my house. I try to not think about it. I walk into the kitchen looking for a half-eaten bag of Chex Mix. I find it on top of the microwave, next to the book. Dream ends.

Haunted Basement

Nightmare 10/9/2015



We are at my cousins house in Sandoval, Illinois. Halloween is in the air.

     All of us are hanging out in the living room watching Television. My high school math teacher and his wife are sitting on the couch. My sister can't find the remote control so she decides to check in the basement which is incredibly haunted, to the point of poltergeist. I go with her. As we walk down the basement stairs I continually commands any demons living here to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. The basement is surprisingly nice. It's finished. There is a nice sectional with a TV and refrigerator. No luck on finding the remote, so we head upstairs. Every stair that I step on cracks in half. I make it to the landing. My sister is behind me. I don't know how she will make it to the top without the whole staircase collapsing. She makes it.

     The front door is open. I see a black mist in the doorway. I command the demons to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. I walk to the door and put my hand in the mist. I bring it back. Only cobwebs. Dream ends.

Apple

Dream 10/14/2014


     I'm in Sandoval, Illinois visiting my cousin, aunt and uncle. My cousin and I are playing video games in the room that he spent much of his childhood in. He has a different bedroom now. 

     It's late at night. I go into the kitchen to get some food. I find my aunt. She's standing by an open trashcan, zombie-like, peeling an apple with a knife. I guess the trashcan is for the bruised pieces. She doesn't look at me but every once in a while hands me a piece. My hunger fades. Dream ends
