Hey, y'all. I've had weird dreams ever since I can remember. My parents tell me that all the way from when I was a baby to when I was a toddler, I had night terrors too. I don't have night terrors anymore, but I do dream almost every night and most of my dreams are bad dreams that I vividly remember upon waking up. I often dream that I'm wandering in a mansion and that while I don't recognize anything, I know it's my house. However, I'm completely lost and though I can't see my pursuer, I know I'm being chased. Usually, I see things that don't make sense like a playground in the living room...or I see my reflection and I'm just bald for some reason...and my dream self decides that this is a dream or I've lost my marbles and I wake up. But a couple of weeks ago, my dream continued. While I was running through the mansion in my dream, the walls and everything started to shake. After I ran down a long staircase in my dream, I opened a door in front of me and my mother was inside lying by herself in a huge bed. She was screaming so loudly that everything was shaking.
That's when I woke up. Ever since then, I've kept dreaming of different variants of being lost in the mansion. I know just my mother screaming until it physically hurts me might not sound like the scariest thing...but every time it gets scarier. Is my mind playing with me? I'm so tired, and I don't know how to cope with having to go to sleep, knowing what experience is probably waiting for me.
