Dark Deception

Chapter-4: Dreamwalker

Three days later, I was browsing through Facebook when I saw a post from a close friend. It said, "Rest in peace, Aunt." The post had many sad reactions, so I clicked on the comments to find out what had happened. I saw a comment from one of her relatives that included a picture of a woman. My mind went blank when I recognized her; it was the same woman I had seen in my dream three days prior. My hands shook and I was sweating profusely. 

Doubts flooded my mind. I had never met this woman before, so how was this possible? That night, I couldn't sleep. My mind raced with questions and fears. I didn't share what had happened with anyone, knowing that no one would believe me. The same thing kept happening repeatedly. Anyone I saw in my dream would die within two or three days. 

I was confused, scared, and helpless. It was haunting and pressuring to witness such things. I couldn't share it with anyone, as I knew they wouldn't believe me. It started to negatively affect my life. I was constantly worried and afraid to see my loved ones in my dreams. I even grew afraid to close my eyes. My sleep was disrupted, and I struggled to get more than four hours a day. Dark circles formed under my eyes, and my blood pressure remained high. I couldn't concentrate on my work, and I felt at my wit's end. 

I finally decided that I needed to find out what was happening and why this was occurring to me. I began researching on the internet. I read about premonitions, clairvoyance, and other psychic abilities. I also learned about dream walking, the ability to enter and manipulate other people's dreams. I started to suspect that I was a dreamwalker. 

But why was I experiencing these visions of death? Why me? I needed answers. I had to know how to control my ability; I had to stop it, or it would destroy me.
