Nightmare Forest

Dream 10/13/2017

I'm on a country road. It is very busy. People are walking here and there, many of them my friends. On one side of the road is a forest. A buddy and I walk into the forest a bit. We get a good look into the vast jungle. What we see is very spooky. It looks like night although it is day. There is a grayish fog in the air that causes the trees to look rather ghostly. We know that this is the only spot that looks like this. The rest of the forest is nice.

I walk down the road and into the forest again. I swear this is the spooky spot that I entered before, although, it doesn't look scary. It is rather peaceful. The sun is shining down through the trees to reveal a calming river running through the woods. On the far side of the river are many log buildings. In the middle of this area is a colossal, dead tree. The limbs and branches that hang from it are larger than normal. This tree has seen many years come and go. I ask a nearby person if this is the spooky area. They ask the boy that is running the place. I don't get an answer.

Another friend of mine, Jordan, brings me to different part of the forest. He pulls back a branch so I can see. I look and see the gray fog and ghostly trees. It is almost like a spell has been cast. Fear enters my bones and chokes me up. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Late Night Frights

A Dream From the Past

It's late at night. Far past midnight. Most people are asleep. My sister, brother-in-law and myself are awake and wanting to go for a late night drive.

Driving down the dark, quiet road we see a haunted house. It's the type of place where teenagers and young adults pay to get scared. Inside this particular haunted house is a vampire. All who enter eventually come face to face with the hellion. The house is closed at this time.

We enter anyway. The lobby of the house is an arcade and although the lights are off, the room is lit from the arcade video games. A person is here but I never see his face. He is a stranger to me. He speaks to us. Nothing else happens. The place is closed. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Ohio State Penitentiary

Dream 3/10/2017

     I'm on the way home from a class field trip. While driving through Ohio, we pass Ohio State Penitentiary which is a spooky, abandoned and haunted place. It's a location in which ghost hunters love to investigate because of the history and supposed hauntings. It looks like a large building has fallen over onto the penitentiary and is just lying on top of it like the building in the movie "Cloverfield." As our school bus passes OSP I act as a tour guide and direct everyone's attention to it. I tell them some of the spooky facts about the place.

     Up the road a bit is a strawberry tree. One of the girls on the bus tells the driver to stop. She says she always stops to pick strawberries from this exact tree, it's a tradition in her family. She gets out and picks some of the red fruit. She eats some but says they are too bitter. I try one and agree.

     My sister, some friends and I escape the bus and walk back to the spooky penitentiary. We make camp in the front room. Most of us stay there because it isn't as scary and there is a TV. A few of the people go off and explore the haunted location. At one point, we hear a knock at the front door. I go and put my face to the floor to see under the door. I see boots. I open the door. There are four people outside who want to explore the penitentiary. Two of them are normal but the other two are dressed as clowns. We let the normal ones in.

     While everyone else explores, we stay in the front room and play Super Mario World on our Super Nintendo. At one point, a baby down the hallway starts to cry. It's the child of one of our friends. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Marathon

Dream 3/2/2017

     I am running a marathon today along with the rest of my school. It is also the last day of school. I am near the front of the pack of runners. Near the end of the race I get confused about which direction to take. The layout of the course is done very poorly. No one knows where to go. I run up onto a highway, although there are no cars. I hit a dead end. I run back down and start asking people where the race ends. They tell me that it ends at a nearby school.

     As I enter the school and run through the finish line, I pretend to run in slow motion and hum very loudly the melody to "Chariots of Fire." The people at the finish line laugh as I run through. Several teachers are sitting near the finish and I go and sit on one of their laps. After this, I need to fill out "end of school year" papers. I get my papers and take them back to the teacher.

     I need to go and visit my sister, brother-in-law and nieces and nephews to see their new house. The house looks downright creepy. The walls and floor are dark wood with no paint. There doesn't seem to be any working lights. Everybody shows me their rooms. My brother-in-law opens a hatch in the floor that leads to the cellar. He tells me that this will be a room for two of the kids. I ask him if he is joking but he genuinely thinks it's a great idea.

     I leave the house and head back toward town. My teacher stops me and tells me that I forgot to turn in one paper. I quickly fill it out and submit it. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Antics

Dream 2-19-14

I'm at my friend, Josh's, house. He and his family have been remodeling. He now has two staircases leading to the upstairs. My sister, Kristen, has been staying with them. She babysits for the kids. 

Josh and I walk into his bedroom. His friend is making spooky, ghost noises and shaking different items in the room. Neither of us fall for the trick. Dream ends.

I wake up.
