Shocked

In this dream, I was a solder. I was with me team when we went out to train. The weird part is, we went to train out in the graveyard. It was one of those ‘courage tests’. Now as a skeptic, it wasn’t that hard for me to go over the layout of the graveyard and was able to successfully achieve all the tasks that needed to be done. The training finally ended and we all went back.

My cousin Louise was with me in the house that time and she was minding her own business until she called me to go with her to the basement to fetch some spices. The basement was big… like really big. You could fit a whole town in there. It was like a fallout shelter. We stored everything in there and of course… the spices that she needed. It was night time and it was quiet. As we descend the stairs, our footsteps could be heard echoing throughout the basement. It was like a cave down there. There were different isles for different things like how you see isles on grocery stores. She took picked out some spices here and there and then we went back up.

While walking back towards the stairs, she was oddly silent. She’s the talkative type so it was odd for me that she was silent. There was nothing to talk about anyway so I just shrugged it off.

“What if there are ghosts down here?” She asked out of the blue.

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Ghosts. Spirits.”

“Ahh, I really don’t know how to respond to that?” I was a skeptic so I really didn’t know what she was aiming for. She suddenly went silent again. It was so eerie that I didn’t talk also. When we started to ascend the stairs, the lights started to flicker.

“Is there a power problem or something?” I asked.

“I told you…” She whispered. “… There’s a ghost in here.”

“What do you mean ghost? There is no such thing.” We reached the door by this time and as I opened it, I saw Louise on the other side.

“Louise? Wha-…“ I looked behind me and to my surprise, the ‘Louise’ that was with me was gone. “Weren’t you with me a moment ago? How did you end up out here before I could?”

“Me? What are you talking about? I was just upstairs doing my homework. What do you mean I was wit-…” she paused. “Oh.”

“Oh?”

“You probably met ‘it’.”

“Stop talking nonsense. What do you mean ‘it’?” She paused once more after my question and breathed.

“There’s ‘something’ down there that lures people when it gets bored. Don’t worry, it just wanted to scare you.”

“Wha-…“ I was speechless. I never thought that I would start to believe in such a thing.

Depressed

This small segment from my nap shows me everything that I wanted to do but couldn’t do. Probably because I’m too scared to actually do something about it. Continue reading if you wanna know what’s been bugging me this whole time.

I live with my aunt, uncle, and cousin like how I do in real life. Also, I’m in my last year in college. But in this dream, my father is still alive. Walking towards the room where my father and mother is, I hear my mother asking me to do some chores downstairs so with a short sigh, I walk down the stairs and wash the dishes. After the chores, I decide to go back up to the room where they are but it feels like something is keeping me from entering the room. Chores here and there, even though I feel like I already cleaned the whole entire house.

Feeling so tired, I decide to try once again and walk towards the room where my parents are. Before I reach for the doorknob, I listen to any disturbances or interruptions that could happen but I hear nothing. It makes me feel so relieved because I am already tired by this time and anything else that will make me walk away from this spot that I’m standing on will probably make me insane.

I turn the knob and open the door. There, I see my mother by the window and my father on his desk, doing some engineer stuff. The aura is so uplifting until they start to ask me and pressure me about my studies. About my grades. About becoming a doctor. They talk as if I’m not there, even though they look straight at me. It hurt like hell. I can’t take it anymore. As much as I hate to talk back at them, which I never did during my younger days, I just can’t take it anymore. I start to cry. It starts with a small and quiet sob, and then burst into loud sobs. My parents look so surprised by what I just did.

“I AM DEPRESSED! I HAVE BEEN SINCE THIRD YEAR COLLEGE!” I shout. By now, they look confused. They obviously don’t know anything because I have been hiding what I really feel up until now.

“Why? What’s wrong? Why are you depressed?” More questions are asked. Without any hesitation, I just open my mouth and let out whatever word that wants to go out.

“I realized that I don’t want to be a doctor, or I’m not sure if I still want to proceed to medicine. But I realized it too late. Now I’m constantly struggling for a motivation because my grades are not that good and I already spent too much time in this course!”

“But we see you so happy. What’s probably dragging you down is your art and your games,” they try to reason out.

“ART AND GAMES IS WHAT’S KEEPING ME SANE! PAINTING DISTRACTS ME AND PLUNGES ME INTO MY OWN WORLD WHILE FORGETTING FOR A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT’S BEEN GOING ON IN MY LIFE. AND GAMES DO THE SAME TOO. IT MAKES ME FORGET FOR A LITTLE WHILE.”

“W-we ... didn’t know,” they say, wearing frowns on their faces. “If only we knew, we wouldn’t have to-”

“I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!” I interrupted them. More tears flow from me eyes and down my face. I have a hard time talking now. I open my mouth, but nothing comes out so I resorted to just crying.

Then I wake up feeling the same tears from my dream running down my cheeks. But I’m awake. I’m awake now, and yet the tears doesn’t stop...

Cabin

It was summer, and my family and I went on a little trip to mother nature. We finally arrived in our destination: a little cabin beside a lake. It was surrounded by ginormous trees.

The sun was setting faster than expected so we decided to unpack and rest. I haven’t gotten inside the cabin and didn’t even see the interior because I decided to stay outside and enjoy the fresh air and the mosquito-free atmosphere.

“Just knock if you want to go inside,” my mom said before closing the cabin door.

“This is going to be a fun night…” my dad said in a serious tone. It was a bit creepy. He was looking at the forest while saying it, giving additional points for creep factor. He then left to go fishing. I was resting on the rocking chair outside the cabin and even decided to sleep there for the night.

After a while, everythig was quiet. And then there was fog. It was very thick and it keeps on pouring in… towards the cabin. It was nothing at first but then I remembered my dad and what he said earlier so I started to freak out. I went to the cabin and tried to open the door but it was locked. I knocked… no answer. It was dark inside too. Good thing the window is not blocked and had no curtains so I took a peek inside. To my surprise, it was empty. It seemed like it was uninhabited for years even though I clearly saw my mom unpack the stuffs inside the cabin. I kept on knocking, hoping that they’d just be somewhere underground from a hidden entrance. But as I feared, there was no answer. I refused to accept the fact that I’m all alone so I kept on knocking, screaming for my mom.

On the opposite side of the window where I was looking into, was another curtainless window, showing what’s on the other side of the cabin. It was a wide road. And there was a lady in white standing there. She then stared at me intently and started to walk towards the cabin. Still hoping to see my mom, I furiously knocked on the door but the more I look at the road, the more of those things appear… and they were drawing nearer.

I felt a tug on my shoulder. Terrified, I stopped knocking and closed my eyes, not knowing who it was.

And then I felt someone leaned towards my ear. Then it let out a ghastly moan.

The next thing I knew, I woke up from my alarm.
