And it seems like all is dying (original) (raw)

here's a dream i had.

i'm skipping school with my group of friends. two hot dudes and two girls. one of the girls is my very best friend and kind of the leader of the group, Sabine. she's cassie from skins. she's always making us do crazy shit and i'm the voice of reason to keep her from getting too crazy, but i usually go along with whatever she says. one of the dudes is cook from skins, second cast, who i've always liked and flirted with but never really gone all the way. the other guy and girl are just random dream people.

so anyway, we're skipping school, and sabine leads us to her house where her mom isn't home. she takes us to a secret staircase that leads down and out to a huge quarry/excavation site, on the other side of which are some tract houses. one belongs to her family and is empty so she proposes we go there. the quarry is all water and mud down a huge cliff with only a tiny path on the side, which we have to climb single file. i'm fine with all this but a little nervous about the cliff. we make it to the house and are dicking around when sabine pulls out a huge book on satanism and all the evil gods and goddesses and how to do rituals to call them down to earth. she lightly proposes that we try some of them out. as an atheist, i think this is a really dumb idea and say no, but she challenges me. the others seem to be sympathetic to me but afraid not to do what sabine says. she finally comes out and says that she is a satanist and scorns my atheism. i just kind of laugh at her and say fine, you can do your stupid rituals, but i'm leaving. i promise not to tell anyone about her, though. and she says no, you won't.

as i leave to go back to town, sabine comes out on the front porch and watches me go the whole time. i can feel her eyes on my back as i slip and slide on the tiny path in the quarry. men are working below to excavate some ancient town just as i walk by, and suddenly a giant column with a goat's head comes crashing down in front of me. i scream and turn to look at sabine but she's gone. i hurry the rest of the way back, up the staircase and back down the hill into town. as i do i notice that each house is decorated with devil masks and spooky stuff, some have signs pointing down into town that say 'satan's way' and as i get into town i'm surrounded by people wearing devil masks and costumes, breathing fire and dancing. i remember that it's the town's annual satan parade, and get worried that sabine and the others are gonna unleash something really bad and it'll be covered up by the fact that it's the parade day.

as i walk down, sabine and the others are walking up to meet me...i don't know how they got back before i did. they're all in devil costumes and laughing. "come on, amber, let's play!" sabine says, draping me in a cloak. she's acting like nothing's wrong. cook grabs my hand and looks into my eyes, and finally kisses me. it seems like nothing is wrong and sabine was just fucking with me, so i go along and keep hanging out with them.

cook and i start up a romantic relationship over the next few days, things seem fine with sabine, although she's more distant than usual and a lot more arrogant and sarcastic. one day i'm going to visit cook when i see through the screen door he and sabine kissing, then him kneeling in front of her like he was worshipping her. i run away but i can feel her watching me. strange things start to happen, like everyone in town is starting to look at me oddly and treating me differently. the next day i wake up with scratches all over my body. i cover them up and go to sabine's house to confront her, but when i get there, no one is home. as i start to leave, a man who says he's a doctor appears and says that my friend sabine called, worried that i was hurting myself i say no, i'm not, but he pulls up my shirt and sees the deep, bloody cuts all over my ribcage and back. i swear that they just appeared while i was asleep and start screaming that something came and scratched me in the night but i'm restrained and taken to a mental hospital. they put me in one of those beds with the wrist restraints, saying that i've been scratching myself in my sleep. and i can still feel sabine watching.

pretty creepy, huh! it's kind of like the craft mixed with black swan. the whole time i wasn't sure if it was something evil that was happening or if i was just going crazy or if sabine was just mind-fucking me or what. i love crazy dreams like this.
