From dreams to nightmares...

Last night, I had those dreams where it went from a nice little dream to some people say a ‘nightmare’. I guess this is the stuff horror movies are made of, and I think I ought to share it with you guys.

My family and I were going on a skiing trip (even though I’ve never seen snow in my entire life). It was great dream; I get to spend a nice quality time with my family. We were then staying in this wooden cottage near the mountains and have a comfy fireplace. I was dressing up in PJ’s and immediately went to bed. I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night and heard a tip-toeing sound, as if like someone was walking in the hallway outside of out room. It couldn’t be anyone from my family as they were all fast asleep with me in the room.

Then I just saw the door of our room open slowly, but I couldn’t see anything. Feeling a little afraid now, I remained in my bed and hid under the covers. Then I tried to see what it is. From my bed, lying down, I saw a top of a head. I could only see the top of the head because it seemed like it was crawling towards me. Somehow I didn’t feel any fear… until it went up my bed and saw her face. Yes, it was a girl. She actually reminded me of the creepy ghost woman crawling down the stairs from the Grudge movie. I saw her face, it was lifeless. Her lips were white and she just blankly stared at me. Then she suddenly grabbed my throat and started choking it. I couldn’t scream or even move. Deep in my sleep I just wished I would wake up.

And then I did, good thing my tita didn’t notice me. I was actually panting and breathing heavily. I went to go drink a glass of water. It was creepy. I never had a dream like that before. And it definitely scared me. It was 3:30am, and from that moment I just closed my eyes and tried to sleep again. I wish I wouldn’t have a dram like that again. I still get chills when I remember that dream.
