When i was little i would have a dream about a big blue monster that would walk through our house. it was almost always the same. he would start at one end of the hall in the dining room my family would be in the next room in the kitchen and i would be at the end of the hall in the family room. he would start in the dining room and then silently walk into the kitchen where my family would be talking and laughing. the lights suddenly went out and all noise ceased. i knew something was wrong but i couldnt move. he would walk out of the kitchen and down the hall to me getting closer and closer. i was scared but not too much. every time i would wake up just before he got to me. |
