Talking to Ghosts

Ghost's seem to be a common feature in my dreams lately. I'm not 100% sure what it means but lets face it, it makes for a hell of a good story.

16th September, 2011: Talking to ghosts.

I was standing in a large room filled with people. The room was dark and I could make out the stench of stale beer soaked into the small patch of carpet I was standing on. The music played lightly and I noticed the occasional flash of coloured light move across the room. The girl next to me was dressed in a red dress, very low cut and she seemed to be dancing to the music. She smiled and said to me "isn't this place great?". "Be better with a few drinks" I said as the line slowly moved forward. The guy next to me smiled and leaned over to talk to me. We had a brief conversation before the lined moved again. I told him to have a good night and continued up towards the bar. I continued to chat to the girl in red about what the night had install for both of us. I finally reached the bar and placed my clutch on there. I smiled at the guy standing behind the bar with the dark hair. He gave me a grin and turned to grab a couple of drinks. The girl in red turned to me and asked me who I was talking to. I told her I was just ordering our drinks. She gave me a strange look and rolled her eyes, pointing out the bartenders at the end of the row serving other customers. The guy from before was next to me and he smiled as if he knew something I didn't. One of the bartenders from the other end came up to take my order. I told him the other guy had already taken my order and he assured me that he was the only bartender on call that night. Strange I thought as I placed my order again. I could see the other guy standing by the door way leading into the kitchen. I pointed him out to the girl in red and told her that was the guy who took my order. She scoffed and told me there was no one there. The guy next to me told me he could see her. I turned around and told her that even the guy next to me could see her. She looked over my shoulder and said there was no one there. The guy next to me began screaming at the bartender as he put our drinks on the table and I handed him some cash. It was only then did I realise that no one else around could hear the guy, or see him, despite his constant screaming which somehow rose over the music in the background. I turned to the bartender and started repeating some of the words the guy was saying. He looked at me with a scared look on his face and mumbled that he had to go before turning to one of the girls to request she take over his shift. The girl in red took her drink and looked at me, explaining she wasn't going to deal with this and she'd see me later. She took off into the crowd and disappeared into a sea of people.

I sighed and picked up my drink. I noticed a notebook on the table covered in images. I walked back to where the tables were and ran into two guys. One of them had brown hair and blue eyes and the other one was a darker guy. The motioned to the spare seat at the table and I flopped down next to them, putting my drink down. The guy with the brown hair smiled and asked how the night was and where the girl in the red dress was. I rolled my eyes and told him she had taken off somewhere, and he laughed saying he wasn't surprised. The other guy took the notebook off me and dropped it under the table saying that he didn't want anyone else to get their hands on our song lyrics. I asked why they were even there, and he just told me they kept showing up for no reason. I picked up my vodka lemon-lime and took a drink from the straw. The two boys raised their glasses and we toasted to a night we wouldn't remember. We each took a long drink and then it went dark.

I woke up the next day in a dark room lying on a bed with the half the sheets on the floor. I looked up to see a small stream of light poking through thick dark curtains. I got up, a dry taste in my mouth and walked over to the curtain. The room smelled of stale alcohol and unwashed sheets. I pulled the curtains open and tried to open the window. The window didn't budge and I noticed the last rays of light disappear over the horizons. I picked up my dress from the night before and wondered how I ended up in the shorts I was sitting in. The boy with the brown hair got up from the floor, groaning loudly and complaining about how uncomfortable the ground was. I rolled my eyes and threw him over a t-shirt which was lying on the ground next to me. The door open and the girl in the red dress came in. She gave a laugh and asked if we had a big night. I asked her where she disappeared off to and she gave me a grin and headed over to the phone to order a pizza. I felt like I was starving, but I wasn't hungry for food. I was hungry for something else. Unable to comprehend it, I sat back down on the bed, nursing a killer headache. The guy with the brown hair got up and sat on the bed next to me. He got up and pulled the notebook out from under a sheet. I asked him where the other guy was and he just shrugged. I heard a thump at the door. The girl that was in the red dressed looked at me and said "don't open that". I rolled my eyes, knowing she was probably in some trouble I had to bail her out of. The brown haired guy came up behind me as I opened the door. The other guy stood there and behind him was the pizza delivery boy. "It's your pizza" the guy with the brown hair said. I asked the other guy where he had been and the pizza guy looked at me strangely. I told him to get out of the way I was talking to someone else. The pizza boy walked into the room and put the pizza boy. I stood in the door way with the other guy asking him why he wouldn't come in. It was only then that I noticed how pale the boy looked, how his skin seemed almost white and why he had red paint on his shirt. He opened his mouth to speak but no words came out. He pointed behind me to the girl in red. I looked at her and a strange look crossed over her face. She turned her gaze to the pizza boy and smiled sweetly at him. The pizza boy seemed slightly in awe as she ran her finger tips over his shoulders. The guy in the brown hair, picked up two slices of pizza and walked over to me, handing me a piece he put his arm around my waist and lead me outside telling me "guess its time we left" He closed the door behind me gently. I asked him what was going on. He looked at me as if to say "don't you know?" Muffled screaming came from the room. I turned to go back in but he held me back. He whispered into my ear, "you know how it goes, she makes the mess, we clean it up. What's wrong with you?" I asked him about seeing the dead and he smiled, he told me that's how it was now. He cleaned up the physical mess, I cleaned up the rest. It's part of being us, he said flashing me a smile. I noticed his eyes change colour from black through to blue, to green then to grey and then a tinge of orange. I looked into the glass of the picture that was hanging in the hallway. I could just make out my reflection and I could see my eyes changing colours as well. Then I woke up.

Ghost Hunters and Keanu Reeves is a Vampire

So since I haven't had the time to update in a while, I decided that you guys deserve not one new dream, but two... So here they are, fresh from last night. The second is a little more of a snippet... since I don't remember all the details.. but here we go:

13th June 2011 Ghost Hunters 2

I was walking around a house feeling a little out of it because there were strange things happening. I could hear faint whispers of words and objects that would shit slightly in the corner of my eye. I noticed I was holding a tape recorder and a video camera, and realised I must have been trying to look for something. I went room to room, and then finally giving it, I walked outside. I stood outside, waiting for the guys from Ghost hunters to finish up inside. I put my tape player and camera in the van and sat down at the computer to clean the files up on the system since it was a mess. Eventually they came out, and we packed the vans up. I was supposed to go with one of the guys to another place, just to make sure everything was working, not to actually do anything. I decided alright and hopped into the car with him. We drove for a while. I stared out of the window into the darkness, watching the houses pass. After a while we came to a school and we both got out. The school had an eerie feeling to it, but it wasn't completely dark. The guy looked over at me and said we were there to catch evidence of people hearing a scream at night, and to find out why it was there. I had a look around, and had the feeling I was being watched. We grabbed out some cameras and equipment and started walking around the school. Sure enough, only minutes after we started there was a scream.

We started heading towards it and ended up in a large quad, there were buildings on all four sides except only one of them had a stair case. We started to climb it, the first floor had a small room off to the right with a large oval white table and chairs scattered around it. I took this to be a conference or group room to discuss things. I went up another floor and was shocked to see a girl sitting in the corner. Her skin was a blue-grey, and her hair looked like it had been ripped out, with only a few bits and pieces remaining. She was rocking back and forth, muttering to herself, I couldn't quite make out the words. I looked at the guy next to me, and he nodded. I walked over to her, and knelt down. I tried to speak to her, but nothing seemed to come out. She turned, her eyes looking through me and grabbed my hand. I felt like I was seeing her memory, of something that had happened. She was sitting in the same place as before, this time with three other girls. They were all laughing and talking when suddenly, a wind swept up. I watched as the girl, seemed to go off into a state, then she looked at her friend, touched her on the arm, something seemed to pass between them, as she took a run and jumped off the balcony. Then I saw the other girl turn, her eyes in a similar dazed state. She touched one of the other girls, again I felt something transpire as she started running towards the balcony, and again, dived head first off it. The third girl stood for a moment, as if fighting something inside, I reacted this time, I ran at her, knocking her out of the way from the running, only to wake up on the floor in front of the guy. He helped me up and asked me what I saw... except I turned and standing before us was the four girls. The guy looked shocked for a moment, and then in a flash, they disappeared and it was daylight out. We turned and walked down; in the conference room the four girls were sitting discussing a paper, like nothing had happened. One of them looked up and gave me a smile when we walked down the stair case. A few boys were in the room talking to them, and one of them came up to me and handed me a piece of paper to "Read later". We left the place, feeling strange. We headed to the car and drove to the front gate, where the keeper let us out. I asked him about the guys and girls inside the school and he assured me that nobody had been in the school or wanted to be in there. Weird I thought.

We ended up at my cousin’s house, and I opened the front door. We walked up the white carpeted stairs to find the other guy. He was in the shower and said he'd be out in a bit to review what we had found. I walked into the bedroom at the end of the hall. The room was quite large, with white carpet floors and a large panel of windows which took up the far side of the room. There was a huge TV at the end of the room with a DVD player and some DVDs, one of which was Fantasia which for some reason caught my eye. I looked out the window, and noticed that every second house had identical pools in it, with crystal blue waters. My mum was standing out in one of the houses, holding a hose and filling up the pool. Two houses down, another man was standing there, doing the same thing. It seemed eerie. The ghost hunters guys came into the room and told me they didn't have time to go over the stuff since they had a press conference and they'd do it later. I sat down on the couch which had just appeared in the room. I was sitting there frustrated and toying with a piece of paper in my hand. I remembered the boy telling me to read it later. It was folded into quarters. I opened unfolded the first bit to see the name "Marisa" written over and over and over again in what looked like a child’s hand writing. Somehow I linked the name to the first girl who had jumped off the balcony. I unfolded the page again and the writing continued. I thought it was weird, to see the writing over and over again... then I turned the page over. Drawn on the page were a pair of eyes that looked so life like, they scared me, there was writing underneath that read "it wasn't her". Scared I quickly folded up the piece of paper since it felt like the eyes were watching me. I ran down the stair case and out the front to give the boys the note, to show them what I had. I couldn't quite get close enough due to the people hanging around. I saw the girl, out of the corner of my eye and she disappeared into the crowd. I tried to chase after her but couldn't get through. I finally reached the guys and thrusted the note into their hand. They opened it and again were taken back by the eyes... which seemed to appear, and then disappear from the page. We sat in silence for a second, and then heard a scream. Looking up, one of the reporters from the crowd had jumped off the balcony. There was a loud, sickening crack as she hit the floor. I looked up at the balcony, the girl I saved was standing there. She had a smile on her face and she turned to look at me. Her eyes were just like the ones on the page. She flashed another grin at us, waved and then disappeared into nothing.

13th June, 2011 Keanu Reeves is a Vampire

I was standing next to Keanu Reeves, who happened to be a vampire in this dream. We were walking along an alley way, heading towards a place when we were attacked by other vampires. I fended a few off, while he took them out, shoving a stake through their hearts from a piece of broken wood that was lying on the floor. He seemed pleased with himself when a woman appears. She had long black hair and red fingernails. She smiled at him, and asked him how he'd like to be able to walk in daylight for a while, and to eat food and be human. He agreed. She drew from behind her a jug which she held in front of him. She said a few words and something that looked like his spirit poured from his eyes and mouth into the jug. It appeared liquidy in form, and she smiled and told him he had a day to go enjoy himself. She'd take care of the Jug. He started heading out of the alley, telling me to come with him, but for some reason I didn't trust the lady and I followed her. She walked into a tent and I walked in after all, she handed the jug to a guy and told him to figure it out. I watched as the guy tried to drink from the jug. He seemed to go pale first, taking on the appearance of a vampire, but soon after, he seemed to go white, almost death-like. He seemed to lose his energy and became sluggish. Then he stopped moving all together. The lady took the jug from his hand, only murmuring the words interesting when the jug glowed red and shot from her hands into mine. I grabbed the jug and ran out of the tent. She followed closely behind me. I ran through the alley and started to look for him. He was heading towards me, he appeared weak and his eyes had taken on a grey glassy finish. I passed him the jug and he drank from it and headed down to find the lady to finish her off. I was standing there, and I began to feel strange. I felt like the air was thick and the world was spinning. I looked down at my hands and where I had been holding the jug on either side were burn marks.  They seemed to get darker and darker, and deeper and deeper. I stood there, for a long time, just watching them develop on my hand, seeming to go deeper into nothing. The Keanu Reeves vampire came up and shook me, waking me from the trance. He dragged me through a small door way and I landed face first in a field. It was dark out and the sky was littered with stars. I sat down next to him, feeling the cool breeze on my skin. I felt strange. Almost different. And he looked at me and smiled and said "don't worry, you'll wake up soon, before the next part happens" I smiled and said, "next bit is bad huh?" And he said "bad enough you need to wake up first"

The Game and Bugs

Here's two dreams for you!! Apparently my brain decided since I was restarting a dream journal you guys deserved two for one. I did have another dream last night.. but I seem to be forgetting bits and pieces of it so in short it was me at work, looking after the shop while half the merchandise was stolen. I was trying to teach someone to do something but they were more interested in playing cards.

The other two I've named "The Game" and "Bugs" to deal with the content... I think the first one is a lot more.. nightmarish than the second one.. but here we go...

"The Game"
I was with a boy and we seemed to be in a game. We were wandering around this old suburb that seemed to be deserted. We walked into a house, which had been badly boarded up. The air felt damp and my skin was crawling in the darkness. I felt on edge the entire time in the house while we went room to room looking for some kind of weapon. There wasn't much to the house at all, some old furniture that had been turned over, empty photo frames and the smell of dust. We went up the old stair case and into the bedroom. Lying on the bed was what was once a woman. Her skin was decaying and she had a strange yellow goo coming from her wounds, feeling sick I stumbled out the door and back down the stairs into the "fresh air" only it didn't seem so fresh. The sky was getting darker and a strange fog was drifting in the air. The boy came down the stairs and to me with a machete in his hand. He handed something to me and said it was something I needed to have. Unsure of what it was, I stuffed it in my pocket as he continued down the road, I hurried to follow, not wanting to be left alone. He came to a door way and stopped for a second. He looked at me and asked me what I saw. I didn't understand, my pocket felt hot so I reached in and pulled out an old necklace. It was an old locket, simple and round. I was trying to open it but it wouldn't and then I looked at the door and it was as if I could see through it. There were a lot of creatures inside there. Almost like zombies but lean and tall. They had a strange grey colour to them and their eyes were completely black, from their mouths were bits of yellow goo. I told him he had to go in there because there was something there that would answer his question, but he had to save his strength, because they would all come for him at once. He handed me a small knife and took a  deep breath. He opened the door and peered into darkness. He walked through the door and I followed. It was quiet in the house... too quiet. He turned a corridor and things came at him, only a few this time. He hit at them with his machete and they fell to the ground. He turned and continued, Wait I said, but he didn't listen, he walked through the door, and he was surrounded by the things. I hurried to the door, but for some reason, something wouldn't let me in. I banged at the invisible door that had somehow appeared there, and he turned to look at me as the creatures scrambled up behind him. He's eyes filled with panic for a second as they grabbed at him. He looked at me, or through me and then pointed behind me. I turned to look, but there was nothing there. I turned back, only to see him disappear into a see of grey. I turned to avoid the sight, only to see nothing. It was black. I turned around, nothing but black... I spun around and around, reaching out for something, but there was nothing... nothing but black. Then I woke up.

"Bugs"
I was lying in my bed, staring up at the roof debating actually getting out of bed considering the long list of things I had to get done. I was just thinking about the remnants of the dream I had just had when a bug fell from the ceiling onto my bed. I startled and flicked it off my bed, only to find two more had fallen onto my bed. Looking up my ceiling light was dark instead of it's usual white. More and more bugs began to fall from the ceiling onto my bed. I jumped up and grabbed the near can of bug spray, only to find it didn't work. A friend of mine appeared in the room with a can of deodorant and began spraying them. "what exactly is that going to do? I asked her, She grinned and said.. "we're going to set them on fire." I looked at her for a second, but it's my bed?? she didn't seem to care as I grabbed another can of bug spray. More and more bugs began to crawl across the ceiling and down the walls, Freaked out I grabbed her and turned for the door. Opening the door we quickly stumbled into the hall way only to hear screaming coming from my sister's room. Walking in there her room was also covered in bugs. She came screaming out and bumped into my dad, who's room was also filling up with bugs. My friend kept spraying the deodorant everywhere,while my dad picked up a container and started scooping bugs up and throwing them out the window, with little hope we stumbled out the front door. Behind our fence, two men were digging a huge square pit and were placing metal tubes inside. They were pumping something, and the more they pumped the more bugs that entered the house. The looked up, their faces blurry, their eyes dark as my friend lit a lighter and threw it into the house. The house burst into flames, the smell of dead bugs lingering in the air. Smoke poured out of my bedroom window, and then just like that it was gone. The house wasn't on fire, we walked inside, and all that remained were a few dead bugs. My friend looked at me and said "I told you it would work" and then I woke up.
