Two nights ago I woke up during a dream that was absolutely wonderful.
I was in somebody's arms. They were holding me and their hands were lovingly caressing my back, my arms... I felt so loved. It was so real that it woke me.
Since it was 3 hours before I cared to wake up, after a minute or two I closed my eyes to fall back asleep. The dream returned. But it had changed. Now when I looked into the eyes of the man that held me, the love that had been there was replaced with lust, greed and anger so intense that they glowed. Instead of feeling safely held, it was now as if he was pinning me down.
Fear filled me, my heart started racing and I struggled to get free...
I woke from my shallow sleep and could not sleep for hours.
Last night I dreamed of a place where we were mixed with a different sort of species. They looked human enough and we had apparently gotten along quite well for years.
The dream started with the announcement that something had started triggering Them into killing sprees. Each humanoid was not triggered to kill everybody, just certain people, but would kill others that stood in their way.
It was hard to hear, because we had been friends with some of Them. We lived on a campus/compound area that we knew we could secure from the inside. We had to set up situations where we could get the few of Them that lived with us on the compound into rooms that we could lock from the outside. We hoped this would keep them and us safe until whatever was happening could be figured out.
In one situation I was coached on how to get one of them into a room with a few of my friends from school sitting by me in chairs. When She was brought into the room She was so much taller than me. She looked down on me and said something that I do not recall. I was holding a thing of crackers in my hand. When she saw the crackers, this somehow set her off. I watched as she turned from my friend to a creature similar to the zombies on "I am Legend." Before she was able to attack me, others restrained her and lead her to a holding place.
After this, the campus seemed pretty calm. There were a few more of Them that were not secure, but they seemed more peacable and we had hopes of talking them into some of the rooms just to make sure nothing happened.
I was talking to one of my friends near one of the bathrooms when, from across the main commons, I hear a voice calling me saying "She's on a killing spree!"
I turned to see a commotion in a group of people where some had been trying to talk to one of Them. I heard this creature shout my friend's name that I had been talking to. I quickly drove him into the bathroom with those around me. A few people quickly blocked the door and stood against it.
My heart was pounding as I listened to Her shreaks from outside through the windows high up on the walls of the bathroom. I saw a shadow of a head appear at one of the windows as she jumped to get a look of the inside. I could tell that she was almost certain my friend was in the bathroom that we had secured, but I did not want to imagine the rage she would let loose trying to get in here if she saw him. There wasn't much we could do. I felt helpless and scared just waiting for her to break through somehow.
I had pushed my friend into a stall that was opposite the windows where she was looking. Knowing my friend, curiosity had overridden his common sense, because, as I looked over to make sure he was hidden, I saw his head poke above the stall walls. How could he be so stupid!? I rushed into the stall and held his head down. I swear he would go deaf from being so close to the pounding noise my heart was making in my chest.
I looked up from him toward the window because the shouts outside had risen in pitch as well as those from within the bathroom. I woke, heart racing, with the distinct impression that she was no longer outside the bathroom...
