Thread: Another Entry To The Hollow World

Hey everyone, this is a nightmare I had last night. It's not the scariest one I've ever had, far from it. But what interests me is that it's consistent with a lot of dreams I've been having lately about this place I go to where everything is like what I remember but it's not. It's changed and even the people that I meet are all hiding something dark underneath.


So in the beginning it felt almost normal but a little warped. I was in my house and standing in the hallway to my room. What instantly had an effect on me was that everything looked old. Like the paint on the walls was cracked and falling off. The carpet was dull and torn. The metal was rusting. It felt like no one had been in the house for a long time.

I opened the door to my room and it was the same in there. Everything had been neglected for a long time. Notably my work desk had been replaced with a second bed which was surprising to me. At that point I think I realized that this was certainly not the house I remember. This was when I encounter my scare, at the end of my bed was a rusty metal cylinder tank. It had it's cap off and there was a hissing sound. I was truely scared that whatever it was pushing out into my room wasn't safe so I held my breath and tried to put the cap back on but nothing was working and I had to get out of my room and look for help.

So I walked out of my room and was about to shout out to my family, assuming they were even there. Another oddity hit me just then. I was supposed to have walked back into the hallway but instead I found myself in a lounge room that opened into a kitchen. It was like ours in layout but was totally different. Everything was like my room, the whole place just felt like it was dead, old and forgotten.

At that point these kids ran past me, coming from my left side. On that side was a table and one of kids ran to hide under it. I looked up from the table and there was this man standing there. None of these people scared me but I knew they were scared. I didn't know what they were afraid of and they couldn't see me, I just knew by the way they looked right through me. But it was like they knew I was there.

Everything turned really quiet and there was this very soft thudding sound, like tapping your palm against wood. It grew louder and louder. I do remember also hearing a whistling sound, I think there was a pot of boiling water on the stove. I was really becoming quite scared at this point because it sounded like there was something coming and that was why all the children were running and hiding.

At that point I was no longer in my body. Instead I just viewed the dream from stationary positions, like cameras. The thudding grew extremely intense and I switched to a view of the wall in the kitchen, then boom the thud came, this time the whole wall shook and I heard this horrific scream and swtiched to an image of this women who I believed to be the mother sitting at the table. She was terrified and grabbing onto the table, like she was trying not to think about it and make it go away. I was terrified as well, whatever was coming through the walls was not good. Also, she was looking ahead so I only saw the side of her.

I flashed between the wall and back to her again. It would be THUD, SCREAM, THUD, SCREAM faster and faster. That's when everything went silent and I instantly only saw the women at the table. Instead, this time she was looking right at me. It was really freaky, with the most evil stare. Then she turned her head slowly to looking back in front of her.

There was a flicking sound and the skin on the side of her face tore open into lots of open slits, showing what was underneath. I can't even describe what was under her skin, I just know it was black with some dark blue. Something like carbon fiber or a lizard's scales.

I was woken up by a family memeber calling at my door and that's the last thing I remember.
