Did you ever wonder what your dreams meant?
One second you are in fairyland and then the next, gruesome things happens, like the unicorn stabbing the fairy princess's face over and over, and then you wake up feeling if you got holes in your face.
According to most, they are psychological, traumas, or desires that are so strong they manifest inside the mind when the body rests.
All my life, I lived in a normal neighborhood, normal friends, normal family, but then this dream started, same event every night that got me thinking if I ever experienced a trauma, or a hidden desire.
But few tell that dreams come from real experience unknown consciously, but the mind can only sort of remind you that it happened by making you dream it...
Do we see monsters because we imagine them, or do we really see them?

Hidden Memories
A blank doll with acting and action running in her veins, Freia woke up in a hospital with no memory of what brought her there. Sure, the doctors said a car crash delivered her there, but it didn't feel like it. They said her family's dead but how come Freia didn't feel like that was true? Her very first visitors were her adoptive parents, Fabio and Darlene Hunter. She had four friends that stuck with her ever since she could remember, literally. That is until one who was dear to her was killed, in front of her. Of course, she was devastated. Why would that be a question? One day, Fabio decided to put her into his school filled with students that he specifically chose to be in. When she was finally forced to be in it, she found out things she thought that only existed in books. Powers unknown to the modern world, sheltered children who only knows the world through TV and non-interactive computers. All of the information comes in that school, but never comes out. I gotta say, why would you believe something that was written and altered by humans from outside? Would you even put your trust on the person who doesn't let you out unless he wants you to? Read on as we see Freia and her friends struggle to find their places in the world they thought they knew of. [COMPLETED] [UNEDITED]Complete

I am working on rewriting this story and when I do there will be the trigger warnings in the correct places.) (small teaser.) No one sees me. I am a ghost. I brush against the wooden fence. No one will believe it was me who disappeared into a fence and appeared on the other side of school. I stare at my brother. He made eye contact with me, confirming my suspicions. We both saw it. Whoever that was is like us. "Did you just see that?" I ask "You're that person my brother and I saw," He says. Oh no... Why then? "Wait! You're-" Completed just editing.

The Dark Deception - The Return of Waeccende
Greg suffered terrible nightmares recently. He would wake in a sweat, breathing hard, and with no memory of the content of the dream. Confiding in his friends, they agreed to look over him as he slept to wake him at the height of the nightmare. Implementing this one evening, they discover the contents of the dream. That same night they retire ... Upon waking, they discover themselves in a strange land, and are quickly entwined in an adventure, which begins innocently enough, but slowly turns horrific and challenges their resolve and purpose. At first their path looks clear and simple. However, as they split into two groups and each pursue their tasks, they find themselves challenged with the strengths of their friendships and choices of self-preservation or of saving their friend's life instead. Ultimately they reach their goal, and the truth is revealed ... Author's note: I've written this book, as a sort of biography set in a fantastical realm. It is a description of my mental illness, which is a schizoaffective disorder, and the state of mind the condition puts me in. The way I've chosen to describe this is the best way I can articulate how I feel in certain situations. I describe the period of time I was in University studying Physics & Astronomy, up through to the completion of my MSc in computational astrophysics. I hope you enjoy this book, and hopefully it will help you to understand what people who are mentally ill go through daily, or maybe even help you understand what a loved one with a mental illness suffers.Complete
