An unnatural gaze happened upon mine.
The intense stare from down the crowded hall made me uncomfortable, but I knew I could lose myself in within the people.
Drinks poured, food consumed and laughter ensued. The thought of that girls face had all but vanished from my mind.
I walked to my hotel room, shared with others but I was alone. I needed to use the bathroom, and I needed to change. Liquid spilled on my chest was uncomfortable.
Walking from the bathroom I had already taken my tops off, not realizing that the door was glass.
….was it that way before? I guess I hadn’t noticed.
I grab a new bra from the bed and as I’m trying to put it on I feel incredibly uncomfortable.
I look over to see that girls face in the glass of the door to my room. Staring, eyes wide with intent of coming in. I brush it off a bit as her being a peeping Tom. In my head I know this is weird, this feels…wrong. Something seems very off.
Her whole head turns side to side as she follows my movement’s around the room, her hands against the glass. Never blinking, and never taking hers eyes off of mine. The demonic grin that creeped on to her face, was the last straw. I didn’t want to let my eyes shut or wander from her, so instead of putting my shirt over my head, I tucked it under my arm and picked up my phone, dialing the number of a friend.
I was able to leave the room, her stare continuing down the hall as I walked away with my group. I asked who that girl was.
“Oh my….oh my god! They are looking for her right now, she just maimed several people… You must have been next…”

This was an actual dream I had last night! I figure now that it’s becoming Spooky Season, I’d start sharing some of the nightmares I have or have had in the past.
I have had nightmares my whole life, and several years ago, when I lived alone, I started to write them down to help me fall back asleep after waking up scared. It helped. I have a few that were from childhood, but they are ingrained in my head so crisp and clear that I can recall them with great detail. I have one very special dream planned for Halloween that I hope you’ll enjoy!

This is perfect for the time of year and for me in general. I love creepiness!
I felt my spine tingle while reading this!
I have nightmares quite often too. I seem to be addicted to true crime books and I often fall asleep listening to one.
And sometimes I realize I dreamed most of the book 🫢

Oh I’m glad you liked it!! I have plenty more where that come from, my brain is great at being creepy 😂 I’ll look through my nightmares journal and pick a few more to share!
Definitely saving the best for last though, it’s a doozy!

I have lucid dreams, usually about my old work days! Weird I know…as for nightmares I rarely have them. I think dreams are a reflection of the things that torment us. For me it’s a reflection of the fact I used to have a well paid job and now I don’t.

Oh gosh! Yeah I don’t know what my dreams would be a reflection of. Most of the time they are pretty graphic and terrible… I have only had about 2 good dreams that I can remember. The rest are incredibly vivid, some lucid as well.
I can usually figure out that I’m dreaming but even then I can’t wake myself. And then there are the ones that are so real I can’t tell if I am still dreaming after I’ve woken up.
