Story: The Lighthouse Dreams Recently, I've been having the same exact dream for three nights now. The first time was short. I woke up on an island with black and gray grass and it was surrounded by a black ocean. There in the middle was the lighthouse where the light at the top was shooting around in a circle underneath a blood red sky. I got up and stared at the lighthouse door. Slowly I walked over to it and just as I was about to open it I woke up back in my bed. The second night was a little longer. This time I opened the door. There was a long staircase going up to the top. I started making my way up and as I did, I heard some faint sound coming from up top. I thought it was the wind coming from outside, but this one was different yet I couldn't tell what it was. I was half way up the stairs when I heard a blood curdling scream from above me, startling me and almost making me fall back. I was then beneath a trap door and was about to open it when. . . I woke up back in my bed again. The third night. . . I was back at the trap door. I opened it. Lifted myself up into the room. Look inside. I saw. . . I. . .saw. . . I didn't know what to make of it. The thing looked like a human, but it's body was all shadows. It was eating out of the body of a man I've never seen before. It stopped eating, lifted it's head up, and slowly turned it's head around to look at me. It's eyes were big and child-like. Suddenly, it quickly got up and rushed towards me with it's claws out. I stupidly lift my right hand up as if to block, and felt the sharp pain of the creature's claws slice a cut onto my hand. I dropped from the trap door, walked backwards to the railing and started falling. I was about to hit the ground when. . . I woke up in my bed again. But. . . something didn't feel right. My right hand was hurting. I turned on my lamp on my nightstand and brought my hand to it. . . My right hand had a huge cut going across it. . . . I'm afraid of what the next dream will be. END
