NIGHTMARE
1. a terryfying dream in which the dreamer experiences feelings of helplessness, extreme anxiety, sorry, etc
2.a condition, thought, or experience suggestive of a nightmare
3.(formerly)a monster or evil spirit believed ot oppres persons during sleep.
i fancy the idea of nightmare as a being. a person. a thing. an animal a beast gheist or what have you...
nitemares are amazing to me. i enjoy them. i always have. when i was a little kid i always looked forward to em. i would to go sleep hoping ot have nitemares. i felt lucky when i did. they put me in a better mood. i loved horror. always have. i would try to give myself nitemares.
i have very obvious recurrent themes in mine. im a niteowl. i thrive on the nite. why my horrors of reality are mentally manifested in the time i feel best is a mystery to me.
examples of mares ive had:
1. always being chased by a skeleton. there were 3 total. one evil and two good. the two were a couple. lookin back i dont recall why any of htem were dead and buried in the garden behind my apartments. in my dream it was an old garden and graveyard. in real life it was where hte druggies and perverts hung out. the couple looked after me like the couple in beetlejuice looked after lydia. they warned me when the evil skeleton was coming for me. and id run. the nitemare stopped repeating after the nite he caught me, i woke up and never dreamed of them again.
2. we knew a kidnapper was coming, my friend and i. we were in elementary school. her mother was asleep. we heard him tapping the glass door. he reached througha window and pulled her mom away. we huddled on the couch with a baseball bat, waiting for our turn and never called 911.
3. after i moved to spokane, i dreamed i was standing in the center of the 3rd floor balcony, looking across the street. it was dark, and the boy who was at the time, the object of my secret affection, stood across the street holding a doll to give me, it was something i wanted. i knew if i went down, id get attacked by someone. i wanted so badly to go to him. so i ran. i ran to him. i didnt make it. i got within a few feet and some kind of nearly inhuman mutant man came from the shadows at my right and striaght at me, out of his path and grabbed me.
4. it was set in my middle school and i was on a sort of field trip with my class. we went down to the nearest busy intersection. some kind of science trip. we were out in a field, (that really is there) it was dark. the field surrounded by trees bushes woods. our science teacher instructed us to look up at the stars and spin in circles. like littel kids do. as i spun i moved closer to the bushes. i knew that if i went in, id get attacked. but there was something....curiosity? i wanted to go...i went in through a part in the trees and the second i was out of view i was grabbed.
its always dark and i always wake up when they grab me. i dont ever know whats supposed to come after that. ive always hoped id get there.
recent ly ive dreamed of fire. and explosions. i dreamed bombs in lights were exploding in my old highschool (which is torn down) when i went there to tutor freshmen. sunday i dreamed i acccidentally caught my sister on fire.
ah well gruesome.
i did once have a 9/11 related dream. a sequel. we were outside highschool and saw a plane jumping over hills in the air. it pulled upright, nose straight up and then slammed into the ground, in the street in front of our school. days later a plane realy did crash like that, nose up and slammed down. not terror related though. what was disturbing was seeing the plane do that...everyone knows....passenger jets should never be like that....you now thats doom
i read hp lovecraft. i like things that deal with mental states of horror, which is why i like the movies "may" and "phantom of the paradise". its why "saw" and its sequel actually had potentiall.
murder blood and gore, horror slash and slaughter has its brightside.
but its really much more of a torment if you are forced to think through your fear.

There was actually a kind of nightmare part to that dream...I was given this drug that made the world around me move way too fast. It was very strange and I was waiting for it to wear off!
