Wow, I had the worst night last night!
I had a really awful nightmare that was so bad I woke up shouting and had to get my boyfriend to turn the light on for me!
I haven't had a nightmare that bad for about 2-3 years now!
Basically, I was back living at home with my parents but in a kind of villa. I got home from somewhere and when I tried to walk up the steps to the front door I couldn't. My legs just gave out under me. So I was sat on the cobbles and waited until I saw my dad walk past the front door and shouted him to help me.
Then I woke up, or so I thought. I was back in my flat but something felt, wrong. Then I heard this horrible whispering noise and when I looked around there was this creepy apparition that looked like it was woven of a sickly green mist. It said something to me that I didn't understand and I started to shake my boyfriend, telling him to turn the light on because there was something in the room with us. Then I noticed another one, this one a sort of yellow vapour.
I told my boyfriend again to turn the light on and he turned over, but not in a human motion. It was like, one moment he had his back to me and the next he just didn't. His eyes were just all white and there was this horrible hissing noise that I could feel rather than hear and then this thing had me pinned down by my throat with both hands.
I started trying to shout or scream or do something, but I couldn't.. I couldn't even move.
Then it just stopped, and I thought I had woken up... so I turned to my boyfriend again. I don't remember what I said but it still wasn't my boyfriend and it attacked me again. This time I could move and I was trying to scratch at its eyes and scream...
I had this horrible feeling that I had to wake myself up or I wouldn't wake up at all. Kind of like how people say if you die in your dream, then you die in the waking world too? So I was struggling to get away and then I did wake up. Right after I got my voice back and was screaming in my dream, I sat up in bed shouting in reality.
I couldn't sleep for about three hours after that, I was absolutely convinced something was waiting for me in my sleep.
So, yeah.... long post (sorry), but I thought you'd get it a bit better if I explained. So, have any of you had dreams like this? Where you know you're dreaming and you have this overwhelming urge that you HAVE to wake up?
I am so tired, I've had about three and a half hours sleep because I was so freaked out I was trying to make myself stay awake!
