I was in a house with a bunch of people, women and men. Apparently, a monster - resembling a woman, had entered the building. I believe people were running away, trying to hide. I'm not sure whether it was too late to leave or if it was impossible. I was in a room with a woman ( not the monster ) and tried hard not to be afraid. I told her to lie down in the bed, underneath the blankets. When the monster would enter, we would just repeat out loud that 'it wasn't real'. Moments later, the monster appeared in the bedroom. It was floating and looked like a creepy ( blue or purplish old woman with scary ( crooked? ) teeth. It came very close to us and freaked me out but I kept saying:
"you aren't real!", "you aren't real!"
I don't know whether the trick worked or not. Part of me felt like wishing I had indeed run away. But I woke up shortly after. I felt somewhat freaked out by the dream but there was no need to switch on the light. Let's be honest, it was not very dark, early morning. For a while I considered to not get back to sleep but I was still tired, so I slept some more and woke up an hour or two later. ( Fortunately ) I did not get back to that dream.
I hardly ever have nightmares. I think it's only natural that I had some heavy ones as a kid. These days, nightmares are often along the line of: making a test and sucking at it. Not that creepy, just stressful.
This was a real one. I wonder why I dreamt this. I didn't watch or read any scary stuff last night. The last ( somewhat ) scary movie that I watched was One Hour Photo, almost a week ago.
Does it really matter? Some would say it does. I just felt like sharing this story and making a drawing of the creature. The monster looked way different in my dream. It's not easy to draw what you see in your mind ( let alone a dream ). I think she had rabbit teeth and no red eyes, I added the latter for a dose of extra drama, creepiness. Perhaps she was, in fact, a lost soul, a ghost. Not necessarily a demon.
