The
Sweetest Nightmare
This night was a cold night. The wind of dray blew cold
and harshly. It was 10.30 pm. I walked alone in the middle of Dark Street. I
was on
my way to go home from my friend’s house. There was nobody but me in this quiet
place. Although the situation was so quiet, I felt nothing. It was same like
when I went home in the afternoon. I walked through the darkness.
After several minutes, I arrived at a park. The wind,
again, blew harshly stab to my bone. I stopped for a moment to tie my knot. The
air became colder. I felt something strange. I looked at the park that was in
my left-side. There were three big trees, two cradles, and another child’s
games. The wind stopped to blow. The leaf that was fly by wind lie on the
ground, felt so tired. That was bad. It was really bad. I saw one cradle swing
slowly with its chirp that irritated my ears. There was no wind. How could it
be? I hurried to tie my knot. After I finished with my business, I stood up and
ready to run. Something strange was felt by me again. I felt someone was
stalking me. I looked to my back. There was nothing. Maybe that’s just my
feeling, I thought. Okay, I didn’t want to think such a foolish thing, so, I
started to walk.
But, something scared came to me…
When I got two steps, someone –or maybe something- came
to me from the back. The cradle swung faster. I swallowed my spittle. That
‘thing’ became closer with me, and the cradle swung faster, faster, and faster!
I was so scared. I couldn’t move. I became stiff. All entire of my body
trembled. That ‘thing’ move closer to me. I looked at the swung cradle that
swings faster. “CRAAKKK!” The cradle broke. It made me so scared. My chest was
so heavy! It was hard for me to take a breath. I felt someone stood behind me
so close, even I could feel his breath. I was so scared! “Who is he?” I thought. Even fear, I tried to
look back. I turned my head, and… There was nothing! Nobody stood behind me! If
so, what’s that fucking thing? I took a long breath. I felt better. I turned
back my head, and I started to walk again. But, before I walked, someone came
from the darkness. I couldn’t see him –or her- clearly. No fearness anymore,
but I prepared to run.
“Hey, what are you doing here?” Said
that person –and he is a man- with his heavy and cold voice.
That man came to me. I could see him
clearly after he went toward me. He walked with his strong feet and muscular
body. I could guess his height was about 180 cm. his hair which was darker than
black and his long-red cloak were blown by the wind. He looked at me coldly
with his sharp eyes, like an eagle’s eyes. For a moment, I was held spellbound
by him. His pointed nose and sharp chin made him look so fabulous. His cold
face made me melted. His expressionless face made my eyes can’t blink. When I
looked him clearly, I realized that he looks like Dante, one of my favorite
anime and game character. Eh, wait! WHAT??
“You should not at here at night.” said
him.
Was he really Dante? No! it was
impossible. Maybe he just a cosplayer. Itwas clear that they have different
hair color –Dante hasthe silver hair, while that man has theblack hair. His
gaze made me freeze. I still confused. But, some thought appeared in my mind:
Is he a good person or an evil?
That feeling appeared again. I could
feel such a huge power. The man took a pistol from a small
pouch at her waist. He pointed the gun at me. He looked
like hewant to shoot me!
“Freeze.” said him coldly.
“Eh… wa…
wait! What are you…”
“DOORRR!!!”
“KYAAAA!!!!”
…..
Nothing
happened. I was still alive. What’s happened? I
opened my eyes that had been closed for fear. I was confused. He shot me with
his gun right? But, I was still alive. I
looked at that man’s expressionless face. He still looked at me. No. he looked
at something behind me.
I turn around because I was curious.
Someone lied on the ground with gunshot wounds! I was immediately surprised.
“Wh… What the…?”
That man was now behind me.
“You’d better go home now. It is not
good for a woman to be out late at night.” said him.
I turned toward where he stood. I
still could not believe what actually happened. I did not even know what
happened.The man then walked past without looking
the slightest.
“Wa… Wait! Who are you?” asked me.
“You don’t need to know who I
am.” Answered that man. “You want to
continue to be here?” he asked after a while.
“Ah, wait!” I followed him
reflexively. In fact I doubt it. I even kept wondering. Why did I follow? He
could have been an evil. But somehow, there was
a feeling that he was the one who will protect me.
But I still didn’t understand. Is
this a dream? I pinched my arm. Ouch! It was hurt! It was not a dream.
We both walked in silence. No word
out of our mouth. I looked at every inch of the man's self. He’s so manly, but
he was very cold. Even the wind could not change his expression. He had no
expression.
“You are reticent, yes?” murmured
him suddenly. “Usually a woman is more talkative than it looks.”
I was a little surprised. He asked
me to talk with him or what?
“Don’t want to answer, huh?
Alright.” murmured him with his cold and heavy voice, as usual. But now it
sounds lazier.
“Ah, no. Can I ask you something?”
asked me.
He did not answer. But I could hear
him say "hmmm" slowly.
“Who
are you? What are you doing here? Why are you carrying a weapon? And why did
you shoot him?”
“Hey, hey, calm down! It is true,
all the women were chatty.” said him lazily. “And the man who was shot by me is
not human.” He continued with the colder, deeper and heavier voice. I got
Goosebumps. Not human?
“Um, what really happened?” asked
me, curious.
“At
nightfall, the creatures that live in this world than we sprung, looking for
easy prey. You, who walking alone at midnight was easy prey for them.”
explained him.
Oh god, what did this entire mean? Was
anything like this actually happen in the real world?
“And, why did you protect me?” asked me slowly.
The man, who had not been glancing at all, turned to me.
Now all his attention focused on me. I felt so awry.
After
walked for several time, I finally arrived at my house. So strange, indeed. That man walked in front of me, and I followed him. I did not
even tell where my house is.
The wind blow again harshly, bring
foliage flew into the starless dark night sky. My house looked deserted, as my
lonely heart that has long been empty. I opened my cell phone and saw that
there were some incoming sms.
“Honey, our family goes to the
aunt's house. You can catch up. Otherwise, I put the house key under the
doormat”
-Mom-
“Oh, God…” moaned me.
I took the key under the mat. Then,
I inserted the key into the door. Before I opened the door, he was
holding my hand, as if to stop me to sign.
“Don’t enter!” he whispered slowly with his deep voice.
“Why?”
Before he answered my question, he
pulled me away from the door.
“Stay back!” said him.
After
several time, I saw the door handle vibrate loudly, and then the door opened
slowly. It was strange. We paused for a moment. The man pulled me hiding behind
his muscular body. I didn’t see anything. There was just a dark room. Mom
forgot to turn on the lamp, I though. But, the atmosphere
became tense after the door opened by itself. The
weather outside gets colder. The fear pushed me again.
“What’s happen?” asked me,
shivering.
“Jut stay back!” answered that man.
And… something appeared! They moved
quickly. I tighten my grip on the man's cloak.
“KYAAA!!!!”
That man quickly took his dual gun.
He shoot that ‘things’ quickly. Gunshots sound everywhere. I could only mumble
and hide behind that man.
“What is that? What is that?” I
shouted
That thing pulled me from that man.
I shouted hardly. When that man realized, he glared at that thing, shoot him,
he pulled me back, and than held me by his hug.
Shot after shot waged
until the creature was defeated. The situation was calm now. I took a long
breath. That man still hug me.
“Are you okay?” Asked that man.
“Tha… thank you so much.” I began to cry in his hug. I
hug him so deep. He hugs me too. He wiped my tears with his
cold hands.
“This is the reason why I turned up
here” he murmured. I was surprised. I couldn’t understand what he meant, but I
felt better.
He released his hug, and he walked
into the darkness.
“Don’t be afraid. I will always keep
and protect you.” said him. He stopped walking, and he turned to me. “You’ll
always be supervised by me.” Said him back with a thin smile that was first
time I saw from him. So warm and soothe.
He disappeared in the darkness of
night…
Ah, I forgot something!
“Wait! Who are you? What’s your
name? please, don’t go!”
But he didn’t come again…
* * * * * *
“Wait! Who are you? Please, don’t go!”
“Firly, wake up! Hey, are you okay?”
Huh! That’s just a dream. A very real dream. my mother woke me up from that hideous dream.
“You
shout as if you left one's weird. What’s wrong?” asked my mother, worried.
“Ah, nothing. I just had a nightmare.” said me.
“Ah, okay then. Now get up and hurry
or you will late. You have to go to school today.” Said my mom, and then he
left me.
So it was all just a dream? The
dream was really like a real, as if that dream came
to this world and became real. And, that man…
I woke up and get out of bed. Before
I made the bed, I saw some books lying on my bed. The
book was all about dreams and lucid dreams. Oh, yes. I remember. I
bought and downloaded several books and articles about lucid dream and learnt
about it, and last night I practiced it. I though a dream that someone strong
protects me from the evil darkness, and even be my couple like in the anime.
Oh, I realized! That could be a lucid dream! Lucid dream is a situation when we
can control our dream as if it was real. And I knew, that
was my lucid dream. My first controllable lucid dream.
