~Raven's 'Dream' POV
A normal day.
Incredibly basic, normal day.
No crime, no threats.
Nothing out of the ordinary..
Everything is great, grand even.
As I thought that, there was a small prick in my neck, likely just my nerves acting up.. but I do feel odd all of a sudden ..
Maybe it's all okay. I'm likely just panicking. And being paranoid. And stupid.
But.. I can't just shake off this feeling..
......
Of being watched...
It feels like every single person in the universe is looking at me, judging me, Laughing at me.
What did I do?!
I defeated Trigon, and saved the world, my life should be peaceful, never to be stressful again!
But why does that assumption, feel so incorrect?
Why does it feel like my life isn't going to go my way...
Why does it feel like everything is just going to fall apart at one single mistake, one small inconvenience?
......
.....
....
...
..
.
I'm just being paranoid..
Just paranoid.
I worked hard to this point, And I know very well it's gonna be okay! My friends will protect me if I need it and, I'll finally be able to be happy.
I'm not being watched, or judged, or.. laughed at.
Nobody will be mad at me for a simple mistake.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna be okay.
..
It will be just fine. Peachy, even.
Nobody is going to hurt me.
I'm safe with my friends
And I'll stay that way
All the drama in my life is over!
....
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY!!

As I spiraled down a negative trail of paranoia, I felt an overcoming sense of dread.
It felt as if it was shallowing me hole, causing my only thoughts, and emotions to be, fear.
And then. I heard.. laughing.?
But it was my voice, and someone else's..
Someone I just couldn't put my finger on..
I wanted to slap myself in the face for my stupidity, how could I forget that damned voice!
"Slade." I sneered, venom lacing my words.
One thing confused me deeply about this all..
Why was I laughing too?
What was so funny?
I looked down and noticed, I, myself was laughing.
I sounded insane.
Like a lunatic.
And I saw a reflection of myself.
With a demonic grin, that looked all too similar to my father's.
I covered my mouth with my hands, and noticed the Slade insignia in the corner of my eye.
And just as the nightmare started.. it was over.
-------
I adruptly woke up, sweating bullets, breathing like I just ran a marathon.
I hadn't had nightmares since 'The End.'
What was happening?
