Two Dreams: A Monster and My Neighbor

Date: 11/23/2016

I was at some school at night. It was in between classes. I was starring out the window at what I thought was a very weird stick or vine on a tree. I called my friends over and remarked how it looked like a creepy humanoid monster. The vine was flesh colored and the limbs of the supposed creature were long. We laughed about it until we actually saw it move. We ran down the hall screaming for everyone to run. Suddenly the creature burst through a window and started chasing and attacking people. Then several more came in and started to do the same. I ran out of the school and hopped on the back of a motorcycle. I didn't know who was driving but I didn't care. We drove to a separate building were the principal was located. I ran in and told him he needed to send out a message to evacuate campus. He didn't believe. I ran out of the building and saw the motorcycle I rode on still there, but the person who drove me was not. I saw a creature roaming around and I got a better look at it. It had long claws for fingers and no eyes, only a mouth filled with sharp teeth. It's whole body was fleshy. I panicked at started to drive the motorbike away. The creature seemed to notice and started chasing after me. Soon, there were three of the following me. However they got distracted by two people running in fear and they attacked them. My motorcycle runs out of power and I'm forced to run. I meet a woman who seems surprisingly calm. She tells me that she created the creatures and that she was going to turn me into one. She described to me the process which was very painful and violent. She was going to skin me alive and then put my skin back on me but reverse. I woke up. I was watching old home videos of my family and I up in the mountains. As I was watching, I remember a house that was haunted. I decided to go to the house again and see if my childhood memories of it were true. I had gotten to the mountain when I saw my friend McKenzi. Seeing her made me forget my objective and I started telling her about my day. We were back in my neighborhood and I saw a neighbor of mine setting up his front yard. He was slightly taller than me and had short, black curly hair. He was a very skilled mallet percussionist and he and a friend put on a show every year. I didn't know them well last year but I did this year so I knew I'd be invited. I asked him if he needed help setting up which he said yes. McKenzi and I helped him set up a total of three instruments. I looked and thought about how cool they were since they were made out of bones (I would not think this is cool in real life). I wasn't sure if they were human or animal but the topic of skinning something alive came up again in this dream. I started playing on and the other two joined in. It sounded really cool and my neighbor asked if we would want to preform with him. We both replied yes. While we were in his house getting ready, I noticed that his house was haunted. There was a headless man who roamed around as well as malicious spirits. I woke up after seeing them.
