Alien on Earth: A Starseed Journal [Nonfiction]

Chapter 7: Terrifying Dreams

Lately I've been having a lot of nightmares. They're usually pretty violent. Lots of blood, people dying, really weird and messed up stuff. I'm somewhat used to it because I've always had really weird, really vivid dreams, but last night was different because this dream almost felt real.

It was about me and a group of friends fighting what I guess is some sort of curse? It was strange. Basically it was some weird evil entity attached to a curse, I think. Whenever you spoke the entity's name, it would affect everyone who heard you say it plus yourself. The effects were... terrifying. People would die or get attacked, or something similar would happen to their family members. I don't remember the entity's actual name, but my friends & I called it "lostSorry" (no clue why we chose that, dream logic I guess) to avoid speaking its real name.

One of my friends thought she found a way to control it, but she was actually lied to, and everyone but me ended up dying in extremely violent ways. I tried my best to never speak the curse's name after that. I didn't even speak about the curse just in case.

My dream ended with some woman telling me about a whole bunch of tragic events that happened in her life. I told her it sounded similar to something that happened to me, and I reluctantly told her about the curse. She froze. Suddenly my laptop opened up by itself. It showed a black screen with only one word... "lostSorry." I was so terrified I woke up, but not before the words "you are in extreme danger" rang in my ears.

I don't know if this is something I need to worry about or just another freaky dream, but I'm actually a bit nervous. I guess I should probably be careful. Luckily, typing about the curse didn't seem to trigger it!
