aliens.

Date: 10/3/2017

I was in a room with an open roof taking photos on my camera. I look up at the great blue sky and decide to take a picture of it. I point my camera at the sky and shoot. I keep my camera pointed up but lean my head back. I see a button on my camera with a rocket ship symbol that I've never seen before. I press it, and a mini rocket shoots out of my camera and up, up and away. But then I see it slowly fall out of the sky, way to the left. I'm disappointed, but I try once more. I watch it climb into the sky and wait. I never see it fall. I put my eye to the eye piece of my camera and look through. An inky black river of sorts has appeared in the sky. it's like a rip or tear in the sky itself. in the center of the widest part, a white dot appears. it grows and swirls and then ripples and waves like the rest of the river. stars slowly appear, but only within the blackness. Suddenly, the whole thing disappears. The sky slowly fades as the sun sets. I get ready to go to bed. I'm in my bedroom, the room with no roof. it is extremely long, but not very wide. my bed is in the dead center. I climb in and go to sleep. I hear something running around my room. I freeze, not daring to open my eyes. i listen and realize that it's more than one thing. I slowly peel my eyes open a bit. there's baby-sized creatures running around my room. I can't tell how many. I cannot make out any features, they're just dark shapes. I am utterly terrified. I don't know what to do, so I just close my eyes and pretend to be asleep. they just keep running around. eventually, I manage to actually fall asleep. I'm still asleep, but I start to just barely wake up. I can feel my body moving around like crazy, and I hear my voice shouting nonsense. I'm like oh crap, I'm talking and freaking out in my sleep, I need to wake up or my parents will hear me. I slowly manage to pry my consciousness from sleep. I sit up and open my eyes. it's still very dark out, and I can sense the presence of creatures in my room, although they are no longer running around. I'm so scared. (at this point I think that I have actually woken up into real life, which is very disorienting and only gets worse) But then, suddenly, I hear something. a sort of ding-ding. and then I remember... the lucid dreaming app. I'm panicking but calm down to remember the steps of the reality check. I count all of my fingers, but for some reason can't keep track of the number. I conjure up a book (it literally just appears in my hand, you'd think that would be a dead giveaway) and try to read the same sentence over and over. I know there are words there, but I have no idea what they say and I'm pretty sure the letters themselves are actually changing. I get frustrated and toss the book away. finally, I pinch my nose closed, close my mouth, and try to breath through my nose. Holy shit. I'm breathing through my pinched closed nose. I take a moment to appreciate what a weird sensation this is. but then I fully realize, alright. I'm in a dream. I decide this dream is freaking me the fuck out, so I better get out of it and wake up. I'm not actually lucid dreaming, let alone aware enough to even try to change the dream, I just want out because I'm panicking. I lay back down in bed and ignore the presence of the baby alien creatures. I close my eyes, fully intent on waking up when I open them. I try it, but I can't even open my eyes. I try to open my eyes for an indefinite period of time. once in a while they actually open, and each time I'm convinced that I just woke myself up. but it doesn't last long, because clearly I'm still in a dream. I keep trying. (I think at one point I actually did wake myself up, but it was extremely brief and I can't be sure) eventually I fall back asleep inside of my dream. when I start to return to consciousness, it stops halfway. my body is moving on its own again, I can feel it. I can also just barely hear myself screaming and shouting nonsense. my brain starts freaking out trying to stop it. I can't open my eyes but I know there are aliens everywhere. my body and voice freak out for what feels like ages, once in a while I can pick up on what I'm saying. it makes no sense. next thing I know my "parents" are in my room trying to calm me down but I can't. I have no control over my actions. I'm trapped inside a spazzing, shouting body. I want to tell them that I'm still in here, but I can't. the little awareness I have fades. I "wake up" outside, looking at the trunk of a car. my body stops whatever it was doing before I regained consciousness. I start talking, I don't know who's there but I know there's people in the car and around me. clearly this is the first time I've stopped. for some reason nobody asks me what's going on, they just open the trunk and tell me to get in, because apparently I can't sit in a normal seat in case my body loses control again. I get in the trunk. I come to inside my head, and I can hear myself shouting again and feel my body moving uncontrollably. I open my eyes, but the shouting and moving doesn't stop. I'm at my grandma's house. I hear the ding-ding again. it feels like it's reaching me from a different dimension. I become just aware enough to realize that this isn't actually my grandma's house, it's some weird dream hybrid that is huge and looks nothing like the real thing. but just as I think this, I forget it and move on. I am able to walk now, although my movements are really jerky. but the shouting keeps going. I know I'm shouting, and I know it's explicit and doesn't make sense, but for some reason I can't make out what I'm saying. I realize I really need to go to the bathroom. I think I must have shouted something along the lines as well, because my mom appears out of nowhere and guides me to a bathroom.. she stays in the room, but all I do is wander over to the mirror and look. I've lost a good chunk of my hair at the front, and there is a huge, bumpy rash on my forehead spreading into my hair. it's on my chest too. it almost looks like eggs. each bump has a red dot in the middle of it. I can't believe I look like this. I'm so disgusted. I turn to my mom and say "is this really happening?" she looks shocked, but sadly nods. I don't even care that I just managed to speak. I start aimlessly wandering around, fading in and out of being able to control myself. I eventually stumble upon a giant indoor playground downstairs. I go down the slide and go on the swings. I'm shouting again, but I stopped caring. I go higher and higher and higher. I jump off of the swing, but instead of landing on the ground, I keep going up. the sky tears open again, and I'm sucked into it. I see a brief flash of a spaceship, a brief flash of alien faces. I'm screaming and screaming again, all nonsense. any control I had regained over my body is now gone. I wake up, murmuring nonsense to myself, and then fall back asleep.
