The Dream from the Night's Past

Shadows Within

Dreams from 23 December 2018

A family recently moved into a new house, but from the moment they arrived, they felt an unsettling presence that made them feel unsafe. Despite their attempts to seek assistance from various professionals to address this eerie feeling, all their efforts proved futile. As time passed, strange occurrences escalated, and the family began experiencing unexplained injuries and unexplained markings on their bodies. It became evident that they needed to explore alternative solutions.

In their search for answers, they came across a person who claimed to possess the ability to confront and eliminate the source of their distress, which turned out to be a malevolent yurei, or ghost. However, as this individual attempted to confront the yurei, something unexpected happened—the ghost became violent, causing the person to flee in fear. Much to their horror, the yurei started to pursue the family relentlessly, blocking every escape route they attempted.

In their desperate struggle to evade the ghost's clutches, a stranger arrived and forcibly broke down the door, shielding the family from the yurei's attacks. To their astonishment, this mysterious savior's watch emitted a protective force field, defending them from harm. Though they managed to escape, their protector stumbled and nearly fell victim to the yurei. But in an astonishing turn of events, another person, who appeared to move with lightning-like speed, intervened just in time. This swift individual pinned the yurei against a wall and attached a peculiar device to its forehead, rendering it powerless to harm anyone. As the yurei continued to struggle fruitlessly, the person stepped out and reassured the shaken family.

Seeking answers to their countless questions, the family demanded an explanation for these extraordinary events. The person proceeded to clarify that what they were facing was not a supernatural entity but rather a monstrous creature, which only they were capable of perceiving. To prove this, they handed the family a special glass through which they could see the creature themselves. The person continued to elaborate, stating that the house itself was not inherently dangerous. Instead, whenever similar situations occurred, the monster sought refuge in their home, causing the family's distress.

Offering a glimmer of hope, the person shared their ability to rid the family of this menacing creature, but emphasized the need for assistance to achieve this goal. After gathering the necessary support, one of the family members, Syahira, was astounded to discover that I was among those who had come forward to help.
