Nightmare

It's been a loooong time since I've had a nightmare. I can't even recall it. I'm working right now... night shift... (I work at Pannon Hotel*** in Mohács as a receptionist). At night shifts I usually sleep for a couple of hours from 1 or 2 am till 5 am. The same system happened today, too, but at the end of my dream I started losing control... in my dream I had woken up and found a second receptionist with me - ????? - and he wasn't very friendly. We talked and some guests came to check in. When all of a sudden I sensed something strange... it was gettin darker and darker and I felt a certain evilness within that man. Ha became less and less human and the world around me was fading and I was very,very, very afraid.  Then I woke up... at least I thought I had woken up... the dream continued (It seems it didn't wanna let me go). So in the second part of my dream I thought that I was awake. I tried to turn on the lights, but they wouldn't work. Electricity had disappeared, but only from places I was present at. I ran to the entrance and I opened the door... I could see people walking up and down and they were looking at me as if I were crazy or something for I was terrified and in panic. I wanted to run away, but I couldn't leave my post. I closed the door and tried the lights again. The lamp gave me only a minimum of light. That's when I saw that some plant was running down the walls of the whole hotel. I tried to turn on other lights (not only the one at the reception), but I didn't succeed. I remember me saying: "If I'm awake, then how is this happening?". I could feel the presence of the other "receptionist"... I could not see him, but I knew that he was the one behind all this. I ran to the door again (please note that I was screaming all the time and my heart was beating as fast as an express train). I opened it and saw the same people staring at me. I turned back and saw my college on a chopper... his face was pale and his eyes glowing red. He looked at me with a delighted smile and started his black chopper and began going towards me. I didn't run away... I have a philosophy of dying with dignity... I ran straight at him... I landed a punch in his face with my right hand, but I still got ran over, though. I woke up... this time for real... I was numb. I couldn't move, I just stared in front of me whilst feeling my heart beating up my chest from the inside... I got up and turned on the lights, and thank God they were working. I sat down and was still under the shock of this experience. Then I decided to read my e-mails and found Joe's letter and ... here I am... it is 6:22 am. I gonna be working till 4 pm, but I'm gonna carry this nightmare with me throughout the whole day... end

Such a rushing, confusing, irritating image and voice world...You did it well to write about it right away, because within 24 hours you would have forgot the whole thing.It is the human brain mechanism.In order to remember something you have to hear,see,smell,touch, feel the experience but dreams are not real experiences, your sub-consciousness generated them.But once you talk about it or write it down you can recall it.

So was my email real or part of a nightmare? :) Superbly worded piece!

Your e-mail was real joe. When I had woken up I sat down to the computer at the reception and read my e-mails. I saw that you wrote about the blogspot and decided to make the fresh nightmare my first entry:)

Yes istván, it was much easier to write it down right away. I also felt better afterwards.
