Falling...
Dear diary…
It’s been a week or two since I am having mysterious dreams…
They are not normal; they are too creepy…
I didn’t do anything abnormal which could possibly lead to such unsettling events happening in my dreams. They feel too ominous, and strange, like whole universe has shrunken into my little visible landscape making paranormal changes in it…
I am creating this small little diary to keep record of my strange dreams. I forget most memory of my dreams but little of what I remember, it does not make sense, but my curiosity is getting better of me…
I have heard that keeping a dream record makes your memory of dreams stronger, I am certainly not sure if this is the safest way to feed my hunger of curiosity, but it has been many days and nothing is really left to do except to take matters in my own hands.
I have to make sure to keep making record of each dream if I want to understand the situation of future ones.
I think I will say goodnight now, I am not entirely afraid…they just feel too unusual, an out of world experience, a world which is too true to be real. I still hope not to get thrown into catastrophic scenery again.
Thank you, dear diary.
I laid on my bed and took a breath, I closed my eyes and focused my senses to stop getting anxious on upcoming next dream.
I felt a heavy weight on my eyes, as well as my ears were slowly drowning in water.
My body felt uneasy but I couldn’t move, so I left my body to enter the world of dream.
in complete darkness, I faced up to my fears and opened my eyes as I saw sea in front of me, all water, nor land neither cloud, just surrounded by sea.
The ambient sound of sea and air, the soothing smell of wet moist. I was mesmerized by the scenery. There was no land till miles and miles ahead, I was lost in it.
I saw right down, and there was no land as well, my legs were floating above water, right just above of water level, one wrong step and I will drown in this vast sea.
the wind was constantly touching my skin.
My brain frightened after realising this place is not safe, I looked at horizon to see anything that could help me but there was nothing except water, but there was something…
It was quite blurry, I tried to focus my sight.
I saw a black shadow with white eyes coming out of sea…
It was glaring at me; its eyes are still and steady onto mine’s.
Due to continues questions and doubts without any correct answer, I lost my stability and fell into sea.
I didn’t know how to swim, even if I knew how to swim, my brain was drenched in fear after looking that shadow.
Suddenly I felt a motion in my heart.
“????, g? W? a? k? ll? k@#w, l#a*v” murmuring I heard as I drowning in water.
That shadow started coming to me at high speed. Before I could act its head got just 5 inches away from me and suddenly.
I woke up from bed.
I couldn’t breathe.
My lungs were screaming for air, they were squeezing the air out as well as vacuuming the air in. I tried to get my breathe stable yet it took me minutes to make my brain realise I am out of the danger.
After catching my breath, I washed my face. Ate some snacks and took a while to get myself back to tracks.
It was a lonely Sunday morning as my parents go outside for work on Sundays.
In between time, I have lived all by myself since they both started doing jobs 3 years ago. Maybe such dreams are occurring because of loneliness and anxiety issues?
I didn’t have much to do so I binge watch another weird series without telling them. Even if I told them I am having such dreams, they will just put all blame onto me for watching gore and not-safe-for-child stuff.
Come on, watching a child running away from kidnappers who wants to torture him and sell him on black market could not be the reason I am having such dreams. Right?
I was in thought of plans for school and stuff, I knew I can’t handle school and this all-weirdo dreams at same time. Before I could get to conclusion.
the murmuring happened once more.
“s-t.# t#1p$d, w: e” a low-pitched whisper.
I stood up in panic and looked around my room for any clue.
Being at such age and experiencing this thing was quite the thing I was not ready for.
I was so much scared; this was just like movie a child running away from kidnappers who wants to torture him and sell him on black market. Okay it was bad decision to watch such movie at 3 am.
“don’t p>n?c” still in same tone
The voice was less distorted this time as well as not scary, but I am still in fear, I didn’t know what was happening.
“no hurt” it was not whispering this time. It was crystal clear sound.
“wh-what is happening” I asked in stutter.
“you do, no??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I started hearing pop noises like a radio which is not connected to any channel.
That made me feel chills through my spine. I quickly ran away and got to balcony…
What I saw was unbelievable...
Sea…
My apartment building…
Was floating on the same sea I saw in dream…
“It couldn’t be true…” I spoke
I live on 6th floor of the building, there was nothing except sea surrounding my building. My building was floating on water and the popping sound of radio I thought was sound of waves. A crystal-clear sky without clouds, it was same as my dream…
“Wait? Am I even awake? Was I being awake this whole time? Is this dream or reality” I wondered myself.
“what to do, what to-” I was asking to myself, knowingly things are going to be worse, before I could think of a way, even worse happened.
A sudden gigantic tide hit the building tilting it towards sea.
“oh no no no” I said being scared I didn’t know how to swim and escape situation.
Where I could even swim? There was nothing except sea…
The building started to fall due to that tide, I became unstable in the moment because of building tilt, I acted as fast as I could and jumped on outer wall of building as it became the surface and whole building very closed to hitting sea.
The whole building was sailing on the sea leading to nowhere, it was astonishing for a moment but true horror…
“What was reality and what was dream” …
“Jump…sea…to…escape…I…help…” I heard that voice again, how I could trust this weird shadowy figure who glares like it will kill me…
I didn’t have much choice except to hear what that shadowy figure said, the building already started sinking in water.
I grabbed all of my courage in one place and jumped as high as I could…
winds touching my skin, sweet smell of sea, sunshine of sun, it felt like heaven in disguise of hell…
I started falling at high speed, there was no sound, no beeps of cars, no chirping of birds, just a clear world of nowhere, the furious wind hitting my ears creating sounds.
before I could think what to do, I hit the sea. But this time.
I wake up…once again
I don’t think much and runs to balcony to see, my heart was so relieved to see real humans. I pinched myself to check the reality.
But I remembered little bit of physical pain felt in that dream too, I quickly called mom…
“am I dream?? Tell me mom now!!!!” I yell and ask
“I told you that you shouldn’t watch a child running away from its kidnapper who wants to tor-” I cut her line as it was Unnecessity and I was too confused.
“yea I know I know, is this dream??? Tell me” I was breathing heavily in fear of what is true reality
“This is reality, now go do your homework, don’t watch such stuff if your brain can’t handle” she said in most parented way.
I talk to her about snack for a little while to be ensure that it is really reality…
I am confused of reality and dreams...Everyday this is getting worse...Who was that dark shadow...?
I have to find the way to get rid of dreams...
To be continued…
