Dream Journal

The Criminal

(This chapter will actually have two dreams in it but they are both connected so i'm just putting them in the same chapter) 

Dream 1:

I was sitting in the rocking chair that sat in my living room typing away on my computer while listening to my older sister play with my little brother. This went on for a couple hours at most until I spotted someone unknown walk past me. I Froze up a little and soon gathered up the confidence to look behind me only to see nothing. Well actually, all I saw was black since something hit me right in the head causing me to black out. I woke up and looked at my surroundings with my limited movements due to parts of my body being tied to a chair. Around me I found my sister and brother were also tied to chairs and they both had boxes in front of them as well as myself. My box was labeled "6", my sisters was labeled "4" and my brothers was labeled "1". I soon learned that we were tied to chairs because we were going to play a little game. The rules were that we had each had to open our boxes and we had to do what was inside or else we would die slow, painful deaths. Upon hearing this, I also noticed that my mom was sitting in front of my brother in order to aid him in case he needed help with what was in his box (he's only 3). My brother went first. Inside his box was just a simple inhaler though. Me and my sister were pretty puzzled by this but we still continued watching to see if anything strange happened. My mom then took the inhaler and tried to make him take it but he didn't really understand what she was trying to do so in the end her efforts failed. Suddenly she sighed, seeming to give up and in the blink of an eye put the inhaler to her mouth and gently pushed on the top part. My eyes widened in fear and I asked " Was there any poison in that?!" Only for her to respond with "No, but I can definitely feel the pepperoni stirring up". I was very confused by her response but just ignored it. Before my sister had to open her box, I asked the guy if any of the boxes could kill us. He responded with "well, one does involve a whale". He then moved on to my sister which I didn't actually get to see for some reason. He soon moved on too me and I slowly opened my box. Inside was a shiny red button looking as if it were never even touched. I then looked up and saw a giant cement whale hanging above me by a thin rope. I looked back down at the button and knew exactly what was going to happen. I braced myself for impact and reluctantly pressed the shiny red button. I heard the rope above me snap and could hear the whale come tumbling down. But before I felt impact, I woke up

Dream 2:

I was in my grandmas basement crouched on the floor in my cousins old bedroom watching a new episode of blue exorcist that had just come out. But I was soon interrupted by the loud clattering of feet come stomping down the stairs and barging into the room I was placed in. There was about twenty people in the room, some of which I didn't even know. They were all grabbing weapons because apparently a really dangerous criminal was on the loose near our area and had said some places that he might invade and this house was on the list. Since everyone else was grabbing weapons, I decided that I should too. I closed and put away my laptop and grabbed an incredibly sharp pair of scissors for my weapon. I glanced over at my sister to see what she was going to use as a weapon. I watched as she picked up an empty beer bottle and smashed it on a table. She then looked at the broken bottle and mumbled "this is the perfect weapon!!" Soon everyone headed back upstairs. We decided that we would have two people patrol the entire house while the rest sat in one spot in order to monitor that room. We decided that we would have my grandpa and this guy I didn't recognize be on patrol due to the fact that they were both pretty strong and they both had shotguns. The rest of us then either went into the living room, kitchen, or dining room to sit down and monitor them. I decided that I would go into the living room with my aunt since nobody wanted too considering the giant glass door that was placed there. For a couple hours me and my aunt spent the time chatting about various topics such as strange dreams we have had, stuff we like to do, and much more. At one point I remember showing her what webtoons I read. In the middle of the dream, I remember my grandpa and the other guy decided to take a break for a little bit since they were extremely exhausted even though all they were doing was walking around the house. My grandpa wanted to turn something on the TV so he went on youtube and put on a song from doc mcstuffins about washing your hands. Once the song ended, him and the other guy decided to end their break and started patrolling the house again. Suddenly, my aunts phone made a buzzing sound and she checked too see why. She opened up her phone and then a look of terror spread across her face. I asked what the matter was and she responded with "The criminal said that he would most likely invade your turn to die (what my grandmas house was called for some reason)!!" I then had a minor panic attack. But I also remembered a dream I had had. "Hey, you know what's scary?" I asked her, breaking the silence. "what?" She responded. I told her about the dream I had with the criminal and the boxes (Dream 1) and she looked a bit confused on how this was so scary. I then said "But you know what the scariest part is?" she responded by saying "what?" and I said " The man in my dream is the same guy that could invade us right now." A look of pure terror had at this point spread across her pale face. We then sat in silence for about an hour until we were interrupted by my grandma excitedly barging into the room screaming " WOO!! WE HAVE DOMINO'S!!!" while holding two giant boxes of Domino's pizza. She then put the pizza's down on a stool  and revealed that she also had 1,000 biscuits and 12 dozens of cookies. But, before anything else happened, I woke up.
