You cannot escape from this dream.

Harrison, a family friend whom I have not seen in years appeared in my dreams. It was a family reunion. My cousins and I were heading towards his house infront of the high school, Canley Vale High School in the middle of the night. The entrance to his house was dark, far and unpleasant to walk through. What is this unpleasant feeling? I'm scared.

We get to the front door and we are welcomed by Harrison. "Come on in", he said. The atmosphere lightened as the rooms were bright and conversations were made between each other. 'Okay', I thought to myself. 'It's safe'. I was at peace.

In a flash, I said my goodbyes and left the house. And that's when I met a strange little boy. I thought he looked a little lost when I saw him. Why was he alone? Why does he seem so sad? I was a little afraid of the boy who didn't say a word. "Are you lost?", I asked politely to avoid startling him. He shook his head and I felt like he was telling me to leave the place first. I did. I was almost at the gates and then heard wood planks rattling behind me. It was the boy. He didn't appear normal. He was crawling towards me very quickly. Quickly catching up to me, he greeted something that was not there. Something that was beside me. 'Hello Stephanie'. What the hell is happening here. Not trying to comprehend or make sense of the situation, I ran towards the streets and tried to find someone, anyone to hit me back to reality. At this point, I wanted to wake up from all of this.

As I was running down the street, daylight was upon us and I see figures from afar. They were not human beings. It was Sesame Street characters? "You cannot escape from this dream", said Big Bird. What? How did they know I was in a dream? I'm afraid. Please let me wake up now. "Unless you give us a riddle", they said.

I don't remember what happened afterwards but I basically got woken up by a text message I received in reality and escaped.


CRIES. I've been having a lot of bad dreams lately. A lot of dreams where I wake up and can't move or speak. And dreams where 'they' are aware that I am in a dream. Please help me.
