What is the impact of a dream when it takes place in a
location you know? I can definitely answer that one because my dream visited me
when I was in middle school. To this day, I still remember it vividly even
though over fifty years have passed. My
dream took place in the actual apartment my family and I lived. This is what transpired…
I got home from school to find the apartment empty. Now, that was a real treat for me because
with having so many family members, everything had to be shared, even down to the
sleeping arrangements. I sat down on the
Castro Convertible pull out bed in the living room and let out a big yawn. With
a big smile on my face, I put my head down on the pillow. Then I took off my
shoes and put my feet up on the bed.
Everything was going so right but then everything went so
wrong. I never remembered dozing off and
then falling into a deep sleep. That’s
when the scariest dream ever happened to me!
I was on the bed, lying on my back when suddenly an adult
human leg started forming on the ceiling above me. It took shape like a large piece of clay
being molded and then it dropped from the ceiling like wax being dripped downward
from a candle. This was a terrifying
human leg. The skin on the leg was as
white as milk and the hairs were dark black and very coarse, just like a large
ball of steel wool. The leg was severed at the hip. There
wasn’t blood anywhere but where the leg was severed, you could see deep red and
pink flesh with the leg bone set in the center.
I froze in terror for a few seconds, then screamed and jumped
up from the bed. As I stood at one side of the bed, the leg stood at the other
side of the bed. I started screaming again and started running around the
apartment with the leg chasing close behind me. Soon, one leg would be faster
than my two and I would be trampled to death.
All of a sudden, I heard a door slam shut. I started hearing
my mother’s and sister’s voices. They
were talking loudly to each other. I woke up. The leg was gone. My heart was
pounding and I felt beyond terrified. Suddenly I felt a small bit of relief! I
realized I had fallen asleep and the horrible human leg was just a dream. I
couldn’t help but think of how real the dream seemed especially that it took
place in my apartment. I tried to calm my overwhelming feeling of fear by
telling myself it was only a dream, or was it??
