Nightmares, Dreams and All That's In Between.

[stellarwind]

So I had a dream that was half nightmare and half not.

I was in a city somewhere (my mind classified it as being somewhere in the south of Israel). I sat down on a bench in a park somewhere when this random oldish lady (or so it seemed) just -randomly sat down- on the bench near me and started trying to talk to me. About NOTHING in particular. You know, one of those annoying people who think the entire universe gives a damn about them?

There was a weird interlude involving my paternal grandmother (who died over a year ago) and the Metacanine which terminated in all of us heading home - with me driving the old woman's car - which was actually set up in a similar manner to that of a driving instructor - had two sets of pedals, although there was a fourth pedal along with the normal three - supposedly she had an important enough position to allow me to drive it without repercussions on either me or her. (dreams are bizzare).

Thing is though, the car itself handled very oddly - really unlike any car whatsoever. It was like everything was on backwards - which certainly added to my stress (she didn't help matters either - how would YOU feel if a random stranger sort of attached themselves to you and wouldn't leave you alone?

Eventually, we got home - and she STILL wouldn't go away. So I finally snapped and told her -exactly- what I think about her randomly inviting herself into my life and not asking me what I think about it. I was being polite about it, but she got offended anyway - and somehow we ended up warping to the location where I first ran into her. Things got weird because this confirmed what I suspected in the beginning - this wasn't just a typical human.

There was a short battle of wits at the end of which which her human aspect melted away and she turned out to actually be some kind of mind-consuming monstrosity. I don't think I've ever been more terrified in a dream before - especially because once that transformation happened the dream faded away - the imagery vanished and I was in lucid mode. I was certainly feeling attacked. It felt like whatever it is was trying to rip my skull in two - and I was fighting it off, trying to wake myself up I suppose - though it resisted my efforts - it's like it wasn't really part of -my- dream. more like something that siphoned itself into it and was now trying to kill me, and knowing it could only do it when I'm in dream-state wouldn't really let me wake up... So it felt like I was in a weird state of semi-awake-semi-asleep fighting whatever the flying fuck that THING was.

Apparently though, I managed to defeat that thing - as in the rest of that dream, once I seemingly drove the creature away and managed to fall asleep again with the headache it was inducing clearing off, multiple characters made references to the creature (which my mind for some reason chose to identify as a 'Grimmaulkin', whatever the hell that means) which consumes the minds of others by invading their dreams, their power to assume whatever form they like in one's dreams and the sheer force of will it takes to fight one off. I think that in the end of the dream I found whatever residual data the creature still had - it was a shattered light sphere of some kind - and destroyed it completely.

Even my NIGHTMARES are fucking epic. >>;

Yeah, I know the fucking epic feeling re: nightmares. Tis why I tend to like the ones that are REALLY fucked up XD

Funky dream, mate. That second last paragraph sounded so bloody painful and frelling intriguing at the same time. Definitely makes for an interesting tale~ XD
