Dreams

[Goat]

I've had this dream before. I just had it last night for no apparent reason. Everything was so vivid. The difference with the version last night was my friend Myndi was there.

It's night time at what I can only describe as a clearing on the top of a building, possibly a mall. The area actually reminds me of the Quad in Glorietta. The sky is pitch-black save for a few stars. I notice something amiss with the moon, or at least the area around it. I squint hard to try and see what it is. It was a crack. A crack in the sky. I nudge Myndi on my right to look up. Soon, other people around us are looking up too. The crack gets larger, and soon more appear, branching out in different directions all around the moon. I get a really bad feeling in my gut. My instincts are right, and soon the pitch-black sky literally falls, breaking apart where the cracks had formed. I see black dots quickly coming out from the emerging blood-red/purple sky. As they get closer, the forms of giant insects come to view, wings buzzing erratically, jaws snapping.

People start to scramble. There's screaming everywhere, as the first victim is hoisted into the air and ripped apart by three of the gruesome monsters. Me and Myndi make a break for it, seeing the nearest exit. We scramble down the stair-well, and I lose her in the crowd. A giant dinosaur-like creature with insect eyes rams its way through a wall, taking out most of the people in front of me. I'm sure Myndi wasn't there, because I hear her voice calling out to me from a distance. It turns its eyes to me, and for reason only God knows why, I stand my ground, readying myself. It charges at me, and I jump onto its head, run across its back, and jump off its tail, scrambling to gain my balance as I run for my life in one direction. It must have lost interest in me, because it didn't follow. I find myself in the parking lot, and my family calls out to me to get into what I can make out in the darkness as either our Sonata or our Sorento. I tell them that I still have to find Myndi, and I run off back into the mall.

I find myself in an empty area of the mall, and text Myndi with my phone. "If I don't find you in thirty minutes, find a way out and meet back at my house.". I pray that she replies soon. I hear more screaming behind me, and I see a stampede of people running towards my direction. Zombies, yes, zombies, are tailing them, but they seem to be the slow-walking, leg dragging ones. I find a golf store to my left, and I dive into it, knowing I can find some kind of weapon in it. I pick a 7-Iron off the rack and run back outside. A zombie turns its attention towards me and I try a whack at it. Either I'm really weak for some reason or its got hard, wood-like skin, because once the golf-club makes contact with the Zombie, it's like nothing happened. It bounces right off. I curse under my breath and make a quick U-turn, away from the hallways now teeming with Zombies. I reach an empty part of the parking lot. I hear Myndi scream in the distance.

I open my eyes in alarm, and I can hear my heart pounding in my chest. I've had a dream that occurred to me before I met Myndi, with her absent during that instance. Now I've had it again, and she's there, plain as day. I want to shrug it off as nothing... But it was one of those "lucid" dreams we have sometimes. We're in complete control, and we're completely aware of what was happening. It felt so real... Somewhere in me I feel as if I want it to start from where it left off. I want to see the end of it, whatever happens.

Cool story. I guess we're at the same boat; I've always wanted to know what happened in one of my zombie dreams when a mutated kid that I abandoned confronted me. The alarm clock ruined everything.

Since that dream, I keep having nightmares (until now), but I just 'forget' a dream every time I wake up. Would've been more enjoying if I at least remembered a thing from it other than knowing that it was a nightmare. -_-
