The Figure After The Nightmare

Date: 5/16/2016

I had a dream, a nightmare. And it was lengthy and varied, but all i can remember is the end. I looked into a mirror and saw my hair was falling out, i was now bald on top. I remember feeling startled and very worried. That's when i woke up. On waking, something drew my eye straight to my work desk, an odd feeling. I saw a figure sitting in the chair, he/it turned to its side looking at me, leaning forward, hands on knees. There were two others closer to the door but i couldn't make out much detail from them, they were very short and would've only come up to my knees, dark figures. The sitting figure had a red and white striped jersey on and wore a brown fedora. His face was ever changing, constantly morphing every second into a new face. I pulled away and smothered my face into my pillow. Trying to wake up again or correct my eyes and head. Again i look up to see the figures still there, staring. One of the smaller ones was reaching up into my desk, arms out stretched. I attempted to say something, but i just mumbled something, my fear didn't allow the words to form. My breath was literally taken. I once again bury my face in my pillow, blinking my eyes, inner voices trying to straighten out the situation. I look up and they are gone. I felt a deep horror from the one looking at me. Another interesting thing is that it must have been pitch black and yet i saw good colours and detail. I couldn't sleep after, so i'm sure it wasn't a dream, maybe just residue images from the one i just had... I really have no explanation. Another thing of note, the similarities to the Freddy Krueger character were quite striking, minus the knife fingers and melted face. Interesting that he should appear after a nightmare as he is well known to invade your dreams and turn them into nightmares.
