Thought I'd resurrect this thread because I have been having some majorly WEIRD, outright negative dreams this week. Last night's takes the cake though. It went from being horror-movie creepy to suddenly spinning off into aliens and possible suppressed abduction memories. Just trippy. It started out weird from the beginning, but just got progressively darker and darker, very quickly.
I'll just try to summarize it in a nutshell: There was a helicopter crashing under a bridge; then scene switch to my old house in CT where I grew up as a kid, which is where the rest of the dream took place -- me discussing all the recent train derailments and how they're all being done on purpose -- which led to an ear ringing in my right ear, loud in clear, in the dream -- then there was a coffin with a "dead" old guy with white hair in it, recently dead, but not fully dead, and I was pushing the coffin around trying to rearrange it, then I had to climb inside the coffin to rearrange the guy inside, and I was like, "oh my god, I HATE coffins!! I HATE these things, they're so GROSS! Ew, those satin pillows, that's so NASTY!" Was just getting all squeamish about it, and the corpse, and how these coffins are all fancy and satiny just to house some corpse that's going to get all rotten and nasty. The old guy wasn't actually dead though, which is why I put dead in quotes. His skin and stuff looked dead, but yet he was still alive, and smiling, but with his mouth hanging open in a dumb grin and his eyes staring up at the ceiling. I wondered to myself why they hadn't stitched his eyes closed.....Scene switch to where I discovered that the weird speckled puke green colored rose that was outside the coffin as a decoration was actually made from dead people....right then all the lights went out in the house and I jumped up to flick the light switch on the wall back on, flipping it on off on off, but nothing happened. Tried the switch next to it, but nothing. I ran into the bathroom that was right off the bedroom and tried that switch, but still nothing. No lights. Left in the darkness. I kept saying out loud, "ohhh nooooooooooooo!" kind of joking, but not really, realizing that "they" had arrived, and they'd killed the power - their standard mode of operation. Kill the lights, then swoop in. I ran down the darkened hallway still saying to myself, "ohhh noooooooo!" joking but yet feeling fear, and threw open the door that led down a flight of stairs to the livingroom, and sure enough, I saw the silhouette of an alien rapidly climbing up the stairs, very stealth. This is where it just got very dark, (as if the rest of the dream wasn't dark enough!)
This thing had a bald head and very long, skinny arms that were probably twice the length of a human's. He moved as if crouched down while climbing the stairs very quickly, with those long skinny arms sticking out.....imagine Gollum, from Lord of the Rings....something very similar to that, but more sinister, because this was "real", and looked like an alien. Sleek, thin, and stealth, almost insect-like I guess you could say. I couldn't see any facial features because it was too dark. But there was just enough light to make out the silhouette rapidly approaching up the stairs, which is actually more creepy then seeing something in bright light. But you can mimic what I'm talking about - bend your knees so you're crouched, then see what it would be like to rapidly climb stairs in the crouch, being stealth, with your arms moving to help you along. Just the way this thing moved...and only seeing the silhouette....VERY creepy.
I stood there, feeling panic at first watching him rapidly approach up the stairs towards me to come "get" me, and instead of freezing in paralysis, or turning to run, I instead just hurled myself straight at him, down the stairs. I knew I couldn't outrun him, you can't hide. So if I was going down, then he was too. The very last part of the dream was me lightly bumping into him as I fell down through the air, down the stairs, then him disappearing as I continued to fall. I was now faced back towards the door at the top of the stairs, and my very last thought as I fell was, "i bet something like this happened to me when I was a kid, where i was abducted at night in the house just like this, but i just don't remember it......."
Then I woke up, all my nerves standing on end, my heart racing.
Edit: Adding this as well: I also had a "fear extraction" dream last week, where something "came around" and hijacked one of my dreams so it suddenly took a dark and sinister turn. In the middle of the dream my eyes flew wide open - the same way if there was a person in the room standing over you watching you and you were able to sense that and wake up - and I saw some kind of weird entity thing hovering over me which pulled back in surprise when my eyes flew open. It was shaped like a little sun, with wavy "rays" around it, really weird I know. But it pulled back and up and away from me and retreated up to the darkest corner of the room, to my left, which I thought was interesting. Says to me that it was a real entity. They usually don't like light. (we have 2 night lights on in the room, and it avoided the areas that were lit with the nightlights.) I just laid there, thinking that I should feel fear, but yet didn't, I was just riveted mostly and watched with intrigue to see what this thing would do now that it had been busted. It retreated up to the dark corner then faded away....
