I dreamt I was hosting a get together with 3 other friends. I was in the shower for the beginning of this story and it seems water has a part to play. After the shower I and one of the friends moved outside to join my two other friends. My front yard was spacious with pillars accenting the patio. Past the patio was a sprawling lawn that had spouts scattered throughout shooting up water almost like a splash pad.

Here we joined the other two and were hanging out on the front lawn playing in the water. Night came quickly. The time had come to move inside. I rinsed off and proceeded to start moving up to the patio to enter into the house. I was carrying a laundry basket. My friend who was coming inside with me was carrying some towels. As I stepped onto the first step of the front stairs I turned and saw some headlights approaching.

As I took in the two beacons facing me down my stomach dropped. I knew these headlights, they were familiar, they were malicious, they were dangerous. I knew the car was not going to continue along the curved road but was on a mission of death. I watched helplessly as the car accelerated forward into my friend who was following me and crushed her as it crashed into a pillar. My friend was dead.

The driver’s door opened and a man stepped out of the car. I recognized him instantly. I can not describe his face or say where I know him from, I can only say that deep inside I know him. He had an aura of pure evil around him. I had never felt such fear as I did when his eyes locked onto mine. As he emerged from the car he held up a gun.

I desperately threw the only thing I had at him which was the laundry basket to try to distract him as I ran for cover. As I hid behind a pillar I felt the gun shots splinter into the pillar that was my cover. He was advancing towards me. Desperately I looked over towards my other two friends who were still on the front lawn, I was helpless to save them. I saw the man turn his attention briefly to them and fire off two shots. My other two friends were dead.

He turned back towards me and pointed his gun straight at me. I awoke. I have never felt such terror as I did for those few moments immediately after waking from this dream.
