I awoke from a nightmare again last night. I couldn’t remember which nightmare it was that awoke me, but I had too many last night. The worst one is ingrained in my memory. It keeps haunting me.
In this nightmare, I am within a castle or a mansion. Everyone seems to live on every floor but in the basement. I was walking around doing my own thing when for some reason I am drawn to the basement. Someone or something called me from down there. I decided that I was going to explore the basement. In the basement, we people who I’ve seen from my past, but never really interacted with. These people seemed to just mingle about and live together. Conversations were happening all around me, but no one noticed I was there. I couldn’t even hear what they were saying, at first. Then every time my name was said, I could hear it. The whispers started getting louder and louder. I had to getaway. I started walking around in the basement looking for a way out, or to be alone. I started wondering for a while. I found several bathrooms, a storage closet, and a bathroom, a shower room combo. As I wondered, I found a hallway no one went down. I followed through the hallway, and all of a sudden, the walls changed. Instead of wallpaper, there was tile now. Fluorescent lights lined the ceiling, guiding my travel. I started to notice that my clothes changed from pajamas to a grey shirt, grey shorts, and white socks. I started finding myself starting to run down the hallway. I don’t know why. Every time I looked back, the hallway changed. Soon enough, I ended up in a lobby. The hallway I came out was directly across from a glass wall. The outside was completely pitch black. The hallway behind me had the fluorescent lights that guided me here, and the hallway to my right was also lit up. I followed the hallway to the right. Immediately, I found a janitor’s closet to my right and a bathroom next to it. I looked down the hallway and there was a room at the end of it. I decided to run towards the room when I decided to slide across the floor with my socks.
When I crossed into the room, I saw a group of…I don’t even know to describe them. The best way I can explain it all were demons, and disfigured humans, and humans who had been flayed. Some of them were all red, others had no face, and others still had black for eyes. I tried to turn around quickly, but my socks couldn’t find their grip. I flailed on my feet for a few seconds before I heard one of these demons say “Fresh meat boys! Let’s get him!”
I ran with all the speed I could. For some reason, the hallway was longer than when I slid down it. I ran towards the bathroom, whereas I ran into it, the demons had started to flood the hallway I just ran out of. In this bathroom, I ran down what felt multiple different hallways in a maze-like fashion to hide from them. Every time I took another turn, it felt they were closing in on me. Finally, I ran into a stall, where I waited for them to leave. Just as I thought they were going to leave, one of the demons opened the stall I was in, and screamed so loudly I thought the glass on the mirrors would shatter. After it was done screaming, the world went entirely black, and I woke up in a cold sweat. I’m not sure what it means, but this is the third time I have awoken from this nightmare…
