Horrifying Premonition
I had one of the worst kinds of nightmares last night: The kind that you are partially awake for but your body is still paralyzed so you can't move and you can see what's going on with half-lidded eyes, overlaid with images of what you are dreaming about. I was lying on my bed (as I usually am when I'm unconscious) and I am suddenly transported to what looks like a laboratory. I can see a creature in front of me working feverishly on something that he is obstructing with his body. His body is made of something shiny but it's too dark to tell for sure (marble?) and when I decide to get up and see what he's doing and am unable to do so, the fun starts. In my head I'm yelling my head off but I can't talk and I can't move. I'm not strapped down or anything and the only thing on me is a heavy blanket but I can't seem to get my arms to cooperate. Summoning my strength in a herculean effort to will my limbs to move, I reach up and as I am close enough to the humanoid creature to move, I grab for his arm. He twists around with a horrified look on his face and says something that I can't understand. It seems that I was not supposed to be awake and that he was indeed going to do something ghastly to me. This reaction empowers me to ask the question "Who are you?" and he tries to pull away from me but I hold fast. At that moment I had the upper hand but I still can't move the rest of my body. The scientist/torturer creature is terrified and so am I but slowly gaining confidence. Then just as suddenly I wake up. I don't know what it means but I figured I should share the experience with you before it gets lost in the mists of unmemory. Phew!
