Along with my random thoughts, I thought I would start up a log of nightmares I have and have had. Some of these will be from when I was younger but they stuck in my mind VERY vividly. I will put a DISTURBING tag if it ever has some truuly horrible things in it. Also, this is a long one. Not all of them will be as long as this. Some might only be a sentence or two.
Just to tell you, I usually get extremely vivid dreams and nightmares. Because these dreams and nightmares are so detailed, I feel like they’re worth writing up.
MASSIVE SNAKE NIGHTMARE:
I was in my house. Everyone was sleeping. I went downstairs in the dark without switching on the light. I entered the front room that looks out to the driveway and the road. Everything was dark but still visible because of the yellow street lamps. I heard some sound that sounded like someone was dragging something massive along concrete. IT was kind of scrapy sounding too. My family’s front drive has tall cone shaped evergreens on the left that act like a 3m wall so you can’t see you neighbours. The sound was coming from that direction. Finally, the source of the noise (which was getting louder) appeared. It was a giant snake – it’s head was as big as a small car. Slowly, it emerged from behind the line of trees sliding along the pavement where pedestrians normally walk. I ducked immediately. Somehow, I felt that if it saw me, it would come this way. I slowly peeked over the windowsill and managed to get a glimpse of the base of the snake. It had a writhing mass of smaller snakes of various sizes following it and slithering alongside the big snake. While I was looking at that, I didn’t notice that the snake had turned. Towards the house. When I looked back at the head, it was almost at the window I was peeking through. I ran back upstairs in terror trying to wake everyone (my parents and brother) but they wouldn’t wake.
I could hear a muffled kind of thudding sound now coming from downstairs. Somehow, I knew this was the big snake trying to get in the house. Since no one was waking, I had the brilliant idea of trying to build a barricade before the snake got through. Obviously, because it was a dream, I magically managed to build a brick wall blocking the stairs off so nothing could get from the downstairs to upstairs.
Finally, my parents woke up and asked me what was going on. I told them. They woke up my brother and we all tried to think of ways to get out. The thudding had stopped by now. Maybe it was over, my dream self thought. Suddenly masses of black snakes starting pouring out from the brick wall’s sides. I managed to quickly open the loft and we all went up the ladder as quickly as possible and shut it behind us. We thought, let’s escape from the roof window! I went to open it and we all climbed onto the roof. All around us everything was gone. There were no trees, no houses no road visible. In their place was just a writhing mass of snakes. Of every colour and size. The neighbours’ houses? Gone. The trampoline the kids next door had that I was so jealous of? Gone also.
I felt tears run down my cheek. Meanwhile, the massive snake with a car sized head had somehow found its way into the attic. Just its head though. And its huge yellow eye looked up at me on the roof. It was taunting me. Laughing at me. I felt myself become reeeeally angry then. Like, how dare you cause a snake apocalypse!!! I still had the loft opening stick in my hand (its sole purpose, if you didn’t know, is to hit against the loft door on the ceiling to open it and hook out the ladder) and I jabbed the snake’s eye with it. It opened its enormous fanged mouth in pain and shook the roof. The tiles beneath my feet became loose and I lost my balance. Falling off the edge of the roof, I felt a rushing sensation as the wind blew past me. I could see the mass of snakes I was falling towards. I hit them. Then I woke up.
Ok boys and girls, I hope you enjoyed the show. More to come later!!!
