I need to start writing in here more...there's 4 lucids I've failed to remember as a result of not writing shit down. Anyway, lately I've been having very interesting, vivid, and usually crazy/scary dreams. I attribute this to the 5-htp supplements which I've read can cause nightmares. Here's one from this morning.
There was once a huge beautiful house that rested at a sharp end in the road. Though now it had fallen into decay, and was so old that the wood would splinter and crack as you walked through it. The paint had long peeled off. And every warmth that it once possessed had disappeared. The house was several stories high, and sat on a a very very steep hill. The backyard of it swiftly swept down into a dense forrest that encompassed all sides of the house. In the backyard also there was a barn...half built on stilts to keep it from slanting with the hillside.
Inside this house a young boy was born. The only kindness and love he ever knew came from his mother, who was the only thing that mattered to him in the entire world. But there were other things that lived inside this house as well. Very very dark things. Creatures. The woman's husband, lived inside the house as well. He was angry all the time...trying to rebuild the house that was falling apart. He took out his anger on his son, the little boy...who he would beat. The father hated the son. Other men lived there as well. These were no ordinary men. They all hated the boy, they were always angry, and they moved like shadows. One had the face of a pumpkin man. None of them were...normal. They all were some sort of character, and they were constantly searching for the boy...trying to kill him. The boy spent his time hiding. He couldn't spend time in his room. He couldn't make it upstairs to see his mommy, the one thing he really cared about. Sometimes he would call for her...but the bad men would hear him and they would come faster...and the little boy had to run and hide faster.
The little boy ran outside the house, into the backyard, and entered the barn. There he ran into another boy, who was quite a bit older than he, and was actually in some form the little boy's older brother. This boy had an unrealistically thing body, and the head of a large egg, with glasses. His brother was an egghead boy, an obvious abomination created by the mother and one of her freakish lovers who lived inside the house. But for some reason, the men didn't hunt or hurt this egghead boy...they left him alone for the most part. And he wanted to help the little boy. He told the little boy to climb to the top room of the barn and live there.
The little boy did exactly this, and from the top room of the barn, he would often stare out of the large open window at the old house and see the shadows passing through his home. He would usually just keep his eyes on the top floor of the house, where he would from time to time get to see his mother through the large sliding glass windows at the top of the house. The boy would lay there, just staring at her. Wanting to call out to her. Sometimes the egghead boy would bring food and other things for the little boy...and after some months had passed by the little boy had a nice little room set up for him there in the top floor of that barn. After so much time had passed, the creatures and men or whatever they were inside the house began to think that the boy was dead and stopped hunting him. Even the boy's own mother had given up hope...though sometimes she would still leave the house and walk the hillside in the backyard looking for him.
One night, the boy fell asleep with the light on in his little room...one of the mean saw this and yelled in a horrifying tone all the way from the house, "there he is!" the boy shuttered awake. Frantically the egghead boy came to the little boy and told him that he only had one chance, for the others would soon be after him and beat him...probably to his death. The egghead boy gave him a black plastic bag and in his room he had a large stuffed panda bear. The egghead boy gave him instructions on what to do and then left quickly.
Soon all the evil men came out of the house...along with the little boy's mother and they stood outside on the hill looking up at the barn. "Come down my sweet child!" yelled the mother. She didn't seem to know that the other men would hurt him. They were so evil, the little boy never understood why they hated him so much. Then the little boy yelled, "No! I can't. They will hurt me. I don't want to go on living!" Then he pushed the plastic bag stuffed with the panda bear out the window...and it fell...so far. It fell into a creek like gorge that passed under a small part of the barn and the men watched as it hit the bottom and the mother shrieked in horror and pain.
They all went back inside the house, while the mother lay there, crying. Soon she too went back inside the house. The little boy knew his mother wouldn't leave him there...so he left the barn and climbed down into the creak where the bag lay and climbed inside. He waited there. Soon his mother came back to take care of her sons body and she found him there...alive! They rejoiced and hugged...the little boy was so happy to be with his mommy again. She took his hand and began to lead him inside the house. The boy was terrified yelling at her that he couldn't go in there, and that the bad men would kill him. He looked up to his mother, trying to get away...but her eyes had gone completely white. "Trust me." she said, "It'll be alright." So the boy went with her to the top floor of the house where her room was and she left him there.
The boy watched as the shadows began to grow nearer...but for some reason...he wasn't as afraid as he had been. The pumpkin man entered the room and screamed and lashed out at the little boy. The boy grabbed his pumpkin shield fromt he man's hand and knocked him out of the huge sliding glass doors at the top of the house. He watched the man roll down the hill, and then the boy yelled. "Now you...you go live in the barn!" Then another man entered...and the same thing happened. He fought him and won. And sent him running off to the barn.
After this I began to wake up, before the boy could defeat all the creatures. I began to think about why the men hated the boy so much. And then it began to seem obvious. The little boy's mother almost seemed like a demoness, a woman so beautiful she could have any man. And she ensnared all sorts of "men" into her home. But she did not love any of them. They would all fall madly in love with her but she wanted nothing to do with them, so they were trapped inside the house. Not wanting to leave. And miserable, because they loved a woman who would never love them back. In fact, the only thing she could ever love was her little boy. And the men were jealous of this and wanted to kill him because of it. It almost seemed like the men had been there so many years...along with the woman...that they were all perhaps dead even. More like ghosts than real people. The little boy was the only one who seemed real.
