My Dream by MB

"Throughout my entire childhood I had the same dream every night. I would wake up (in my dream) unable to move or yell for help. I would lay helpless in my cold bed for five minutes as I heard breathing in my closet at the foot of my bed, and because I had this every night, I knew what was coming. The second that night demon stepped out of my closet; I regained control and ran, but could never open my door to get out. I spent years focusing before bed on happy things trying to block this dream from my mind, but I came to realize that it was a direct result of my actual life. I was over stressing about school, studying countless hours for even the simplest quiz, thinking I was not worthy of my life if I didn't push myself to the fullest. I felt helpless, and this was portrayed in my dreams every night. Somehow I remember the last time I had that dream. I lay in my bed, my closet door squeaked open, and out stepped the creature. I proceeded to loom into its eyes, and I had been having this dream fir so long, I actually knew what it was while in the dream. I said to it "you’re just a dream. You can’t hurt me". That was the last nightmare I have ever had, and will be. I now know that the only way to actually live life is to kick back and enjoy every minute of it. You are never helpless; there is always an internal strength within you that will surface when the time is right."

Dread by PM

"I was on a small floating island made of reeds and grass in the middle of the ocean. I don't remember much, but the reed-raft was floating with the water. I remember looking off into the distance and seeing dark menacing storm clouds looming on the horizon. I remember being filled with fear. Not sharp, sudden fear like you get when you're about to get in a car accident or fall off a ladder. It was a growing fear that seeped into the smallest corners of my mind. I’m not sure what exactly it meant, but I assume it had something to do with the unknown or some upcoming event in my life I was scared or nervous about."

Flight by AO

"My favorite dream was one where I was flying. It felt so real, and I could see everything so clearly. It was fun, free, and probably the happiest I’ve every felt. I was the size of a bird and I could dart and shoot across yards; and from tree to tree I could fly faster than a rocket. Everything was so green and cool, it almost looked fake it was so beautiful. My head was spinning, taking my body on an adventure. It was definitely a great feeling, but I started to fall suddenly which shocked me into waking up. I was sad but relieved when I woke up because it was such a good dream, but the ending was more of a nightmare. I think I remember this dream because the feeling “flying” gave me was so real, and I could almost feel myself hit the bed when I “fell”. I wish I more dreams like this one."

Stalker by MW

"In one dream I had awhile back I was given a special version of the book Alice in Wonderland in my English class. As soon as I got the book some creepy man started following me around and all I knew was that he was trying to steal it and I couldn’t let him take it. He kept following me around and then I was at the farm, but in one of the horses’ areas there was a random car. I was standing by the car and he showed up, and I could tell he was going to try to take the book from me. so I got in the car and hid the book under the front seat, but them he was coming closer so I jumped out. I was terrified standing next to the car as he was coming closer, then I told him if her came any closer I would scream, and then started to open my mouth. he stopped so I didn’t scream, but then he started coming closer again so I screamed as loud as I could in the dream. But I also ended up screaming wicked loud in real life."
