a long dream

Date: 11/28/2019

(this was my first nightmare in months) a close friend of mine had been kidnapped and i didn’t know what to do or how to feel. i struggled to cope with the idea of them missing and while at a party, all i could think is was them. everyone at this party were making their own assumptions about how they went missing and if they were okay. one day as i was doing something super mundane, i walked outside and got kidnapped too. the man took me and was hurting me. he threw me into his basement where i found my friend, except it wasn’t really him; he looked strangely older and was in a deep sleep on this broken bed with navy blue sheets. the nastiest thing was that this bed had live maggots all over it and i was expected to sleep on it. the man walked in to the room, FORCED himself on me and put me to sleep. in the dream i had while i was asleep, it was like i was still at home with my friends. everything was okay and i was safe, i continued on with my life. at one point i lost my sense in reality and began believing that my dream life was actually real. In the outside world, one of my other friends decided to investigate our disappearances with a fellow teacher, so they began looking for ways my friend could lure this man into kidnapping him. i don’t know, they had a whole ass plan. now back to me in the basement, i guess i had woken up from my sleep ? but i looked older, a lot older and so did my friend. my friend explained to me how this man was giving us drugs or something, putting us to sleep just for us to have long dreams that would affect our age too. it was, i guess, a way of torture. so if i had a dream that seemed to happened over a 3 year period of time, in real life i’d actually age by 3 years. once learning about this, i decides we should try escaping, but we failed and the man put us back to sleep. back with my friend (who was working with my teacher) he actually managed to get kidnapped and as soon as the man was gonna lock him in the basement, the mans head exploded everywhere. apparently the teacher was a witch lmao so she could do that. they somehow managed to wake us up from our deep sleep and save us. but uh, when i woke up from my dream, i realized i had dreamt it all and none of what just happened was real. i wasn’t saved, my friend and i were dying next to each other as the man kept coming into the room and drugging us. the weirdest thing was that none of the people in my dream had faces to them. my friends and peers all had blurry faces, except the man who kidnapped me, he was just a dark silhouette lurking in the shadows
