dream journal #15

2nd May 2015

        It was like a movie, I was somewhat playing the role of a ghost stuck in a massive abandoned mansion. I was not the type of ghost that looked like a floating white cloth with two eye holes in it, it was more like I had my body figure just that I was glowing in a light blue colour and translucent. All the characters around weren't people I knew personally.

Here's how it goes, it does not start like how my dreams usually start by waking up in a weird location. I just appeared in an old dusty room, all the furnitures were covered with white cloth that had a layer of dust on it. The only light came from the musty dirty long windows which were really dim. I slowly and carefully left the room to the corridor where the floor was wooden with a long patterned carpet all the way to the end. There were painted portraits of people posing really elegantly and mirrors along the sides. Half way through the corridor were stairs, I walked down where there were other ghostly figures roaming around the front door.

The whole calmness takes a turn when aliens exactly like that movie, "Alien vs. Predator", started to invade the house. They were just smashing through windows and spitting acid saliva from their tongues. It burned and melted the ghost figures horrifically. I moved quickly out of the whole scenario when my right shoulder got hit with the acid saliva, it felt like I was severely burnt. I slipped into a vending machine room and saw a woman hiding behind one of the machine. Weirdly, she was my mother in this movie-like dream. I was hungry so I put my hand through the glass of the vending machine, grabbed a candy bar and dropped it to the bottom so I could pick it up from the slot.

The woman that played my mother told me we had to find a way out to escape from all of this. She mentioned that there was only one exit in the whole house for our ghost community but it was hidden. I searched and searched, tried every door and every cupboard. Suddenly, one of the aliens creeped up to me from behind and clawed my right arm. I was then grabbed by the shoulders and pushed through a glass window into another room. I fell backwards pretty hard onto the ground and used both my legs to push the alien away from me. Quickly, I got up and ran into the next room and crawled up a chimney. Mid way up, there was an iron trap door where I managed to get open and slipped my body in.

It led to a brightly lit small squared white room that had a door at the other end. This door was just as white as the walls but with a wooden door knob. As I turned the knob slowly, there was a small click sound. There was an even brighter light as I open the white door but as my eyes adjusted, I saw the wide green field of the outdoors. My dream was fast forwarded to end where I was holding hands with my other family members (not my real-life family) walking to the top of a hill to discover that there was a beautiful scenery of a town. Something else happened at the end before I woke up but I couldn't recall it so I guess it was a happy ending for my dream this time.
