I remember dreams vividly as clear as a water in a bottle. I can still remember my dreams when I was 7, where I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night to take a pee and saw this scary monster creeping at the door. I can still remember the tender chills in my spine, my fast-paced breathing as if I ran a thousand miles, the position I stood as if I was stuck like a statue and the dreams about this league of superheroes flying in mid-year. Just imagine how crazy my dreams was, but as crazy as it may sound it gets crazier as I grew old.
Nowadays, my dreams were full of nightmares. I barely dream of a beautiful dream. They say our thoughts shapes us and what we think is what we are. Maybe I was drowning too much in negative thoughts that I dream so much horror. I dream of running and running and running , I seem to never to stop. I dream running in grasses until I run in urban places and the next time, the dream was the same again, waking up I always feel tired. The most horrible dream I have was when I had my sleep paralysis or some may say its just an error in Rapid Eye Movement cycle where the eyes are open but the mind is asleep. I dreamt like its really happening in reality. I felt that there was someone sitting next to me whispering in my ears, giggling—the most horrifying giggle I have ever heard while I was there laying flatly in my bed like a statue, I couldn't move. Its a post-psychiatric dilemma where hallucinations is created because of fear, and those were hallucinations. And it follows again and again, I dream of a family and I was their child. I was playing with my friends strolling in a skateboard until we found this old building and suddenly the scenario changed, we were going back with horrified looks in the faces of my friends and I was behind their back and I couldn't keep up to their pace, I trip and fall and the next thing I knew I saw myself in the television, dead. And while the dream was fading I instantly think I was dreaming and then I wake up. Have you ever felt that inside your dream you suddenly realize you were dreaming? That everything is just an illusion of our wild minds and its not real? When this happen, you can experience lucid dreaming and they say when this is mastered, one can be able to fully control their dreams. Did you ever had an almost out of body experience? Because I did and when it happened I felt like my body is pulled out in a vacuum and it was scary, but I was able to pull away and wake myself up cause who knows what may happen if I did let it happen, maybe I won't wake up ever again.
Dreams are illusions, good or bad, they aren't real. Sometimes, it may brought us messages, signs of the damned, a warning from the future, but its up to us if we're gonna believe it or not because its just a dream after all.
