Oh I had a dream too!
And it is even two kinds related.

So the idea is that I was in some sort of gala, ball, or banquet or any sort of fancy event details are not really relevant. But just let me stress that: damn I looked good in that suit. Wish I loked half as good in real life.

Anyway our favorite fox boy Mike was also on the event. He looked a bit older and had glasses. And we were sitting on the same table:

And why you ask? Well in the dream I was either a detective or some kind of police consultant. And the police had good reason to suspect that Mike had ran human trafficking ring. Yep my brain decided to pull a big irony the. The slave ended as a slaver. Oh by the in this context that mean he sealed with human as well as keidran.

Anyhow I and some police agents were in the ball/gala thing in order to get some evidence against Mike he had legitimate business but we had no substantial evidence of him being a slaver.

So I spent most of the night back and forth questioning Mike acquaintances and associates, colleting evidence. The event was on his mansion or something. And questioning the fox himself.

Eventually I pulled an Al Capone. In deflecting and denying my questions about his criminal enterprises I managed to get him to confess to tax evasion. Turns out he forgot to pay some import taxes on some of his legitimate businesses.

With that he was good as convicted. Now with probable cause we could seize or question his finances and it was just a matter of time until we had his slave trading ring exposed.

Once he realized what he had done his expression froze. And the dream finished just as we arrested Mike a removed him from his manor
There are three things that motivate people: Money, fear and love.

Hmm, still having weird dreams... Nothing too great to write about.

Had a short "VR" dream about some action packed game, was on a speeding bus with random action movie characters, were about to have a shoot out with
villains on another bus speeding to catch up to us, then for some reasons chainsaws started coming through the floor like a horror movie rather than action flick.

Had a dream I was wandering around places from my childhood like our old home and neighborhood as well other places like my kindergarten and elementary schools.
They were abandoned and overgrown like after decades of neglect, honestly kind of beautiful in it's own way, I was taking pictures with my digital camera.
Suddenly there were dinosaurs for some reason, and then a random top down view with an RTS (Real Time Strategy) game for a moment.
I remember that while walking around I would think or say to myself "Oh, I remember that" and take a picture, I was alone throughout that part.

Kind of feels like it was partly because of how long ago those memories all feel, but mostly because of how depressing things had been in 2020 with loosing my dad and the last of my grandparents.

I don't usually remember mine, but this one kinda stood out. It started out with a kind of anime vibe, like I was listening to the narrator check in on three misfit monster girls on their dates. The three of them were each with guys who were nervous around them, but they were happy. The first and second were fairly straightforward; dinner at a restaurant, and a park bench at sunset. The third was a picnic blanket in a field, but people clad in black started surrounding them, and the guy just took them out like a.. Well, not a ninja, but a skilled fighter. Then they started throwing large objects like cars at him, and he used telekinesis to summon a ring that he used to cut them in half. Then he smiled at his date.

Cut to a flashback of looking at a list including this guy. I remember it listed only the best and brightest, to be included in some special program for experiments. We were all students in the same classroom, and it was incredibly strict, and we had only one teacher. There was this one student.. I remember that it was me, but I had a body separate from my head, and my body could move on its own. Everyone seemed miserable with how strict everything was, so I asked the teacher to escort my body to the bathroom during a test, and tried to cheat by asking the person beside me about a question on the test. Not long after, we were all talking to each other, which was a MAJOR infraction.

Then I'm a kid by the window, and I notice the door is still open, and ask everyone to quiet down, but the girl next to me just disregards me. I'm no longer the one with no body, but it was still my idea that this happened, somehow. Not 10 seconds later, the teacher walked in and turned the lights on, and the classroom froze silent. She was TICKED, but smiled that evil smile that villains do. She opened the blinds, and handed out letters to each student, mentioning that each one was addressed directly to each student, and contained instructions for a meeting between us, our parents, and her, and each instruction was correct, and had to be followed. I knew by experience that these rules were absolute, and not to be questioned. Another woman walked in and continued handing them out, and sat down to explain further, saying that "everything on these forms is correct, and none of it is wrong." The page seemed to be stained in vibrant rainbow colors, and I found it very difficult to read, but the first paragraph caught me off-guard. It started simple enough. Name, "You are subject to a meeting", time and place, "you are required to attend, no exceptions." Then it said "You are required to wear a bikini for this meeting." I froze, knowing that there was nothing I could do about it, and I was a guy. So I read the unicorn-vomit colored paper, barely comprehending it, and got to a line that said "You must wear adequate clothing". Using this as my ammunition, I flagged down the lady in front of me (not our teacher) and said there was something wrong with it. "No, there's nothing wrong on there." "Well, there is definitely one thing wrong on here." The whole class chuckled, and everyone looked at me for causing a scene. I said, "It tells me I have to wear a bikini, but it also says I must be appropriately dressed. As a guy, I can't do both. Are swim trunks okay?" She gave me a stern look, and without pause, said something about a trashy, white-girl outfit, and it made no sense to me, so I replied with a stern, confused "What?" She moved closer, as if to scold me for not listening the first time, but chuckled, smiled, and said, "Yeah, swim trunks are fine." and moved back to her chair. The moment I picked the paper back up, I woke up, without a chance to read it through again.

Had a long alien invasion kind of dream, felt very Xcom like where they rolled up and curb stomped most of the planet, eventually leading to a resistance, then in the end mostly being free again but having traces left behind.

It started with some kind of localized mutations in our population after first contact, with a wide spread hive-mind like control plan to hasten their invasion, I was taking part rather than simply watching as some of my dreams have done.
I developed scales and wings and was crazy strong, seemed to be something like a half-dragon where I was mostly human looking still, initially I was fighting back against the aliens and trying to help a group of people get
to safety, there was a clash with some government team with Brotherhood of Steel like tech from the Fallout series, they thought I was working with the aliens because of my mutation, I nearly tossed someone wearing
some kind of powered armour suit off a rooftop helipad before things got cleared up, I remember seeing the group of people including a child I'd saved leave with them in an aircraft before a jump cut to nearly one century later occurred.

I was still alive and even seemed to aged very little, most likely do to the changes I went through, I was working with some underground faction while wearing what looked like a trench coat with a hood and a mask.
There were a lot of sci-fi elements and designs in the world around me compared to before the time skip, very Blade Runner and Cyberpunk 2077 like though I guess even later Xcom games are like that in a sense.
It seemed like I had been captured or otherwise brought under control for a portion of time during the time skipped, and that I had more recently broken free and joined up with a resistance group.
I remember feeling especially sullen after learning how long I'd been out, with little to no memories of my time being controlled, and that one of my first thoughts was about my loved ones almost certainly being dead by now.
There was a scene in a more rural environment of a family or group about to take off looking for another safe place to settle, they were some kind of resistance fighters, they uncovered an item from a cache
that had been left for them by either myself or another ally, it had some kind of information they needed.

The invaders were getting the short end of the stick in recent years, and humanity was starting to retake some places and aspects, the view of the dream shifted from me experiencing it after walking out of a building
to scene in space where a repurposed shuttle was being piloted towards an orbital station of some kind, on board is a single person, an adult woman that seemed like she was either a grown up version of the child I'd saved
or their direct descendant like a grandchild, I'm thinking the latter given how much time was supposed to have passed, while approaching the station the shuttle got hit with a laser or plasma beam causing it to split in half.
A fighter jet like craft came roaring into view, the most likely source of the attack, when it came around for another pass the pilot of the shuttle came out from cover with some kind of pistol weapon drawn,
they opened fire and pierced the cockpit of the fighter killing the pilot before it began drifting off into space, the human woman then began a long drift in her suit towards the station.

Another time skip brought it back to my perspective, people had finally reclaimed more and more of the planet, a large portion of the population were like me however with some having been random during the initial years
or the result of later genetic modifications either at birth or purposely like one might get a tattoo or piercing, and of course some having inherited it from their parents or grandparents.
I remember seeing a metropolis like city with a large power plant that had been reclaimed, lots of of people able to walk the streets without fear.
There were plenty of random or natural looking examples of gene modding, but there were of course others who looked like they had purposely based theirs off of character from pop culture or mythological creatures.
Dream ended with me looking around more like an observer than a part of the community, feeling disjointed by my lengthened lifetime, but I did feel warm and fuzzy inside seeing the smiles freedom had brought.

Re: Dreams

#1986 Post by RennisTora »

Had two relatively short dreams, both about anthro people living on islands, getting the short end of the stick from humans.

1st Dream had a retro feel to it with early to mid 20th century tech, I was a wolf or maybe fox guy, most of it took place at night.
The island had a class system issue with the anthro inhabitants being more or less treated as second class citizens if not worse,
either being discriminated against and harassed by most humans or the laws straight up being written to exclude them.
I was some kind of Robin Hood like deal or otherwise a thief, things came to a boiling point when I found some jewelry unattended
and grabbed it before running full steam back home, I lived in a rented loft over an Inn/restaurant kind of set up in the part of town
that was mostly non humans. Quickly ran into trouble that I couldn't sell the jewelry and it was fancy enough that if caught with it
I'd be made out a thief right away since non of the non humans had that kind of wealth here, at least not normally.
There was a fire starting to spread in the anthro quarters, set by whoever considered themselves "in-charge" of the island that
had been ticked off for the last time, seemed more like they were using it as an excuse but it was bad either way.
In the end I escaped along with some others on a large sea plane piloted by an old friend, for some reason this old friend
was literally Baloo from the old TailSpin cartoon by Disney, the dream ended with us flying away and the raging fires on the island in the background.
I remember something about a bomb being dropped by humans but it honestly got fuzzy at that point.

I woke up but went back to bed, the first dream was probably around the mid point of the night, the second was before waking up fully.

2nd dream was more modern day, anthro and humans living on an island with a lot of political tension.
It showed a sweep of the island, fairly built up and modern, showed a military instillation that was some kind of air defense or early warning set up.
There were fewer humans than anthros this time around, and it seemed like it was the humans who were largely not welcome, though
there were no outlandish laws targeting them, just personal prejudices from old social and political wounds.
I was part of some small group who made it their purpose to express how unwelcome the humans were and were going to target a building,
some kind of resort or spa facility they built and pretty much didn't allow anthros into despite being a "local" and public business.
We weren't trying to kill them or anything, it was more of a scare tactic kind of deal, terrorism-lite as it were?
It was around then I was revealed "to the audience" as being a lizard or reptilian race, and that I was going to be sneaking into
the pool and then dramatically emerging to scare off the patrons, which went well enough until someone decided to play the hero.
Some human guy tried to stop me like he was supposed to be security or something, I ended up knocking him on his [censored] with a
solid right hook to the head, I then proceeded to grab whatever I could carry even if it wasn't valuable, just to mess with things.
As I ran out of the building and our group dispersed, the guy came running out after me and started chasing me down a street.
He started closing the distance as we exchanged words, first it was shouting expletives while sprinting but eventually turned
to both of us complaining at each other as we ran out of steam, he ended up catching up and grabbing me by the arm while we both wheezed.
It was at this point there was an info dump by me like some scripted event, it seemed that in the distant past humans had claimed the island
and oppressed the native population or maybe they made them with science or magic, it wasn't really clear on that part.
It was however clear that some sort of calamity or otherwise disaster took place on the island, and that most of the humans fled to safety
while leaving the rest to their demise, instead they ended up surviving and then flourishing only for the humans to return more recently
and try to make claims to land they had owned or otherwise possessions they'd abandoned when they fled.
Naturally this didn't go over very well with the anthro people, and while they allowed some to return as a sign of peace there was no shortage on tensions.

I recall actually speaking these things to him, not the usual slideshow or flashback montage I get in dreams when history comes up.

"You're people took everything from us, you spoke of your god who loved only you, left us with nothing and then ran away, we rebuilt and now
you are trying to take our home from us again, after everything you did, and you ask why we are angry, why we do not welcome you?"

He looked at me speechless for a bit, maybe their side left out some details in history books? While we stood there a plane roared overhead,
the man grabbed my arm again only this time pulling me to cover as the plane dropped something onto the city, followed by a boom.
It cut to an aerial view with the early warning station having been hit with some kind of explosive, the pilot radioing in their success.
I think there was a look of realization for what he had tried to do, trying to pull me to safety, there was also an ominous feeling of things to come.

I don't enjoy having heated dreams like that, but it was interesting at least, and another example of how my dreams sometimes try to continue themselves.

Had a very pleasant dream, very scenematic, another classic example that made me wish I could share what I see in my dreams.

I with a group of friends and family tour through a mountain range with snowy peaks and dramatic elevations, a sort of gorge or valley separating it from another part of the range.
The stone was dark grey and almost black in places, there were paths, decks, and railings made from an old dark wood nearly as black as the stone.
There was a breathtaking waterfall in the valley/gorge that must have been 100 to 150 feet high at least that ran into a stream where people were wading and swimming.
Across the gorge/valley on another segment of the mountain range stood the remains of a huge stone tower built into/onto the mountain.
Eventually we reached a more closed off area with snow caked overhangs made from the same dark wood as the pathway, they were resting over what looked like natural hot-springs.
The whole time I was trying to take pictures with my camera, with most of them not turning out great, either being too blurry or the flash doing something weird.

Had a dream that very much like the anime Strike Witches, but at the same time very different. Looked like real life for the most part, little bit VR game at times.

There were these monster things or otherwise aliens, don't recall a specific definition going either way.
They were kind of crab like but also octopus or squid like, looked a lot like Mirelurks from Fallout 4 and 76 but had tentacles, and the big bad boss was like a giant mutated Mirelurk Queen.
They were mostly black or carbon/charcoal coloured with some low saturation red mixed in, like the enemies from Strike Witches but not sci-fi tech looking like them.
Instead of using magic to fly it was more like super soldier ground fighting mixed with some water combat, didn't see enough of the world to tell if it was modern or set in a similar time period as the shows during the 40's.
I recall that I wore a bomber jacket like coat, had longer hair than normal for me which is usually shoulder to mid back length but instead was around my [censored] in length, I used a shortened pump shotgun and rapier for weapons.
Unlike the show the ones fighting with magic were not only girls/women but boys/men as well, and age didn't seem to be the biggest issue, though I suppose I don't recall hearing/seeing any specific ages mentioned.
There was a moment where I was alone, fighting off the person sized creatures that had attacked a dock or small port I was in, I remember either running out of ammo or my gun jamming and having to use my sword.
The creatures were pretty nightmarish and gross to fight, the mutant queen was difficult for it's own reasons of being absolutely massive and staying in and under the water unlike the smaller man sized ones that came onto land.
If I had to estimate, the queen was about as big as a battle ship or maybe a zeppelin would be more accurate with it's body shape, was more squid like than the small ones and had huge tentacles that could reach onto land.
There was a moment where we were all gathering for a big fight, saw all kinds of people who seemed to be a part of the military group we were in, had an altercation with some douchbag who looked more like they belonged in Top Gun.
I remember that the battle with the queen took place on a beach or otherwise coastline, and that at some point I thought I saw ghostly apparition of my dead mother who had also fought the creatures on that beach.
When the battle was over I informed my commanding officer along with my report, they didn't seem so much concerned as they did surprised, as if to say this wasn't that weird just uncommon for magic soldiers?
We only managed to push the queen back out to sea, it proved too massive to take on with our equipment and combat style but also too close to land/base for a huge bomb or something.

Had a dream that kept swapping between live action and anime in terms of overall style and physics.
I was, for some reason, a teenager or young adult that could just turn into a car, with no explanation.
Specifically a 1968 Dodge Charger, which I guess makes sense, since that was my favourite car from ages
5 to 20 something, still kind of is I guess, but I have a lot of favourite cars now that I'm older.
It kind of felt like it was a "spirit animal" sort of thing, but with a type of vehicle, I only met one other
person in the dream like me, but it was never treated like a super strange thing, so maybe just uncommon/rare?
I remember being somewhere and a couple chuckleheads came up asking offensive questions, and all I said was
"I can't think of a way to respond to that, that won't be vulgar, so please turn around and leave" since I was
with family in public and didn't want to cause a scene for them.

The other person was a girl around the same age as me, born into a wealthy or otherwise influential family.
Her vehicle form was something like a sports car turned race car, the cliche of being under pressure from her overbearing parents.
Being injured was weird, had some kind of dream logic that as long as you were repaired in vehicle form you were fine.
Bent a rim at some point and when I turned back I had broken or sprained toes and had to limp around for a while.
There was a big road race thing coming up that I wanted take part in, kind of deal where it had both pavement and dirt segments.
There was a scene of the girl training on some obstacle course her family made, with insane stuff like nails and the like.
I guess maybe while that was happening, I wondered off from where the race was going to be held the following day.
Ended up at a scrapyard or otherwise parts zone, looked around before asking someone if they had any all-terrain tires
that would fit a 68 Charger but got told they didn't, kept looking around and realized I was being too specific before
going back to them and saying as much, that I only really needed some multi-surface tires for road and dirt.
They were the owner of the yard, an older woman, maybe in her 50's, told me they'd look and asked if I'd be willing
to help out around the yard, so I then took off to where they pointed with comical speed and agility, guess because of the car thing?
Recall jumping off of stuff with leaping bounds, and at one point picking up and lifting something very heavy with ease.

---

Guess that's my car culture roots showing, grew up in a very car-centric family.

#1992 Post by RennisTora »

Had a long'ish dream with "repressed" memory elements, not actual memories on my part but rather made up memories for the sake of my character in the dream.
I was visiting some kind of ruins as a tourist, my long time and best friend was there, seemed somewhere between ancient Egyptian and Roman for architecture?
While we looked around and while I nearly walked off a ridge down what I thought were steep stairs before grabbing onto something and stopping myself, we were approached
by a handful of people who greeted us with a friendly disposition and the both of had to awkwardly look at them and ask if we knew them.

They looked surprised at first, then a mixture of disheartened and guilt, the both of us started to get this weird sense of Déjà vu about them, that they did actually seem familiar.
We started to get some weird vibes, not bad ones but an odd sense like something wasn't what it seemed, we ended walking up to a set of ancient and ornate looking doors
that the others seemed eager for us to discover and open, again not in a suspicious kind of way, but like when you're hoping a friend will realize or find something like a gift or surprise?
We decided to open the doors, once open we saw something we couldn't explain, despite being in these ruins the place beyond the doors looked freshly kept and regal like a lived in castle.
Once we stepped inside it became clear that something wasn't what it seemed at all, the sense that we'd just gone somewhere completely different via a simple door, and that our friends
were very much not human, or at least not entirely human however the case may have been.

One of the guys turned a pinkish red colour as he grew wings and a tail with short horns, a girl suddenly had a snake body where her lower half should have been, others become a number
of other fantasy creatures and races, I remember one girl or woman specifically had medium length straight silky hair that turned a dark royal purple along with her eyes.
Some things started to fall into place quicker than others, like my friend becoming a humanoid dragon/fish creature even though I seemed to remain human.
Portraits and the like decorating the halls of a large castle or palace like building with smooth marble floors polished until you could see your reflection in it, furnished with
dark woods and a combination of gold and silver gilding, lighting that was adjacent to how bright and sterile modern lights felt but had a tinge of warmth to them both in colour and literal temperature.

As we explored we were shown more and more rooms and people that were both new yet somehow felt familiar, we also learned that it wasn't just an interior space, but that there was also an exterior.
Open skies that had a mauve tinge, soil with a light orange colour, and sprawling grounds that turned to fields and then dense forest, it felt like something out of a fantasy novel or film.
I remember a moment where I broke off from the group to use the restroom after realizing I had to pee badly, even after finding one I had to keep telling people to leave me alone trying to get started.
There were literally people/beings in the freaking cupboards of the restroom, I got so annoyed that I exclaimed "If ya'll don't give me 5 minutes to piss in peace, I'm leaving this place and finding somewhere else"
or something to that effect, which seemed to finally get through to them. (I've noticed I'm oddly protective of my personal space in some dreams, like violently so in some cases, not sure what that's about?)

Once done I started wandering around on my own, at one point skating along the smooth marble floors in my socks for fun (I've noticed I do that a lot too in dreams, skating on otherwise normal surfaces)
until I started running into other people again, but not before seeing rooms that looked liked personal spaces and slowly increasing amounts of holiday decorations, I had to hop over someone sleeping
in the hall at one point, some kind or canine or vulpine looking individual that was humanoid in shape but at most 4 feet tall, they started following me playfully as I continued "skating".
I ended my skate routine in what looked like a large foyer with at least two levels if not more, the stairs were lined with people of all sorts including the girl from before with the snake lower half.
It seemed like they'd either been searching for me or otherwise showed up to show to me around the place, I remember that we quickly started to develop this awkward tension between us,
not one of dislike or anything negative, but like there was this air between us that just felt awkward, it slowly revealed itself to be that the girl seemed to have feeling for me, not that I minded.
There was a moment where we needed to climb up somewhere, can't recall why, but the girl started coiling herself around a pillar so that I could climb up like the rungs on a ladder.
I remember suddenly being very self-conscious about by nails cutting her accidentally when I looked at them as saw claws as well as tiger patterned fur, and proceeding to be
very slow and careful while climbing which also ended up making things feels even more awkward and tense since we were making more contact for longer than if I just hurried.

The dream perspective cut over to my friend with the rest of the group, they were being shown into a room that had a very "round table" vibe about it though more like a board meeting in design.
There was a large number of older people in the room, I guess they were some sort of council or the like, just as talking began a man walked out from shadows to reveal he had the same
purple hair and eyes as the girl we'd met (which a number of the portraits also shared), he had a look about him that was a cross between a business gentleman and a wizard.
The room began talking about our arrival and some other force at play when someone broke rank and asked where I was, which then had the dream cutaway to me outside with the snake girl.
We were looking around the grounds together, seeing the different farms and gardens that were being kept, it was all rather calm and soothing until hearing some commotion.

There was someone running towards us shouting about intruders and having seen suspicious objects or devices planted around the grounds, which quickly turned out to be explosives of some kind
and learning that the ones who planted them were the aforementioned "other force at play" and seemed to be some group of beings who were cursed or otherwise suffering from some
kind of magical plague, they wore black clothing and armour with parts of their bodies encased in these clear bubble like pods with a toxic looking green fluid running through it.
Discovering that the objects were clearly dangerous and that we only had so much time, I began helping the others spot them so that they could be disposed of before exploding.
They were basketball sized bombs hidden amongst plants and crops on the grounds, I started doing this weird thing where I would jump vertically into the air, close to 20 feet, and then
looking around with near binocular vision trying to find the devices, eventually we ran out of time and the remainder of them started going off, at first I was surprised at how underwhelming
the blasts were, thinking maybe we'd overreacted but then came a cloud of yellow-green gas flooding across the grounds like a tidal wave, I remember briefly thinking or maybe saying
that it almost looked like chlorine gas or some other chemical weapon, we were both already running by that point and came to a fork in the round so to speak, one way led up a set of stairs
to somewhere else in the impossibly large area we were in, the other was another set of doors like the ones we entered through, I asked where they went and the snake girl just pushed them
open and pulled me through, they closed just as the gas would have hit but then stopped, we were now back in what seemed to be the normal human world.

There was someone waiting for us, a guy about 7 feet tall if not taller wearing all black like the ones that invaded the closed space, he seemed strong but when he tried to grab me
I was able to brush him off as it seemed I too had grown stronger, things got silly when he tried to poke me in the eyes and I responded by blocking then slapping him like the Three Stooges.
We got away and got into a taxi or tour bus and tried to blend in, something about pretending to be a couple which made things more awkward though we secretly enjoyed it.
Something about realizing it had been a trap, and that the gas was only meant to force us out into the open, us running from more people in black garb and gear, then I woke up.

This morning I experienced my first false awakening loop. I "woke up" and started my daily routine, only to realize something was wrong (my medication was all out of sorts and some of it was mini M&Ms). Then I "woke up" again and again started my routine. Rinse and repeat several times with different weird things happening each time. Things like my bedroom actually being my dad's bedroom at home, or things being otherwise rearranged.

During one of the loops the dream became lucid and I took control briefly. Although I can't say what I was able to conjure up. :eric: Unfortunately that was short-lived because it started another loop shortly after.

I remember getting increasingly frustrated in each loop, because I was fully convinced I was awake and out of bed until something would go awry each time. I think I recall a bit of sleep paralysis in there too. Finally I woke up for real.

What a wild ride.

Yeah, I had one of those where I kept getting up out of bed, then when stepping on the floor I'd fall briefly and be back in bed "awake", eventually got so frustrated that I finally woke up for real, probably from heart rate. :redhair:

This one scared the crap out of me.

So I dreamt I was back in school, but for some reason, it was the type of place that let you go on the roof, like it was an accessible place. A buddy and me would use it to get to classes, so we didn't have to go through all the people in the narrow corridors of the building. We used this method to get to a class on the top floor, and came in through an access hatch, and were immediately scolded for being late and unprepared on the first day. We were told that to make up for it, he would have us do some cleaning after school. No big deal.

Well, he had the two of us get to cleaning some old pizzeria on the edge of town, and to do all we could overnight. If you've ever seen Willy's Wonderland, think something like that, crossed with FNAF but much worse nightmare fuel. When we first saw the main animatronic, we screamed and sprinted away. Eventually it followed us to some small room with a couple beds in it. I remember this "Freddy" type thing, having to bend down to get through an already oversized door, and I remember these glowing red eyes... It just radiated pure fear. All I could see was a shadow, but I just clearly knew what I was looking at. I don't remember how we got away... Something like kiting around the beds, since it couldn't climb them?

While running through the halls, we picked up a landline phone on the ground, and tried to call the police to no avail, but while we did, another landline rung on the floor. I grabbed it, and frantically tried to hide while pulling the cord. The police officer on the other end listened to what I had to say, and when I told him where I was, he laughed, genuinely, and told us we were going to die there, since nobody ever makes it out alive. The only thing I could think of, was to run at "Freddy" and hug him with teary eyes and ask how he'd forgotten me. Terror at the thought of trying woke me up before I could, and I didn't get any decent sleep the rest of the night.
