the dream.....or was it!?!?!
i was about 6 yrs old and i was in my bedroom that i had shared with my sister who is 8 yrs older than i. it was about 10pm so she wasnt in bed yet. my parents were watching tv and my oldest sister was prob in a mental hospital at this point.
well....i was sound asleep, in the dark, and i opened my eyes (i still dont know if it was a dream or not....) to see a dark figure kneeling down next to my bed. he was covered in mud with a fishnet over him. like he just got fished out of the sea. the stench was unbearable. i screamed as loud as i could and closed my eyes and started crying and screaming and flailing my arms. my parents ran in to find out what was the matter. i wouldnt calm down and i wouldnt open my eyes. they picked me up and took me into the living room with them to try to calm me down. they tried everything from wet rags to juice and water. i refused to open my eyes and i was going crazy. i remember hearing my sister come in and say "whats the matter with her?" my parents answered with a "she had a nightmare".
i can still see that figure as clear as day and it still creeps me out. maybe it was the monster under my bed, but when i hear the word "boogie man" thats what i see. it was awful and still scares the shit out of me.
