Here's my dream, finally remembered to post it.
I was about 4 here, right? And so I inevitably went to sleep.
I was in a brightly colored green plant-like room, there were records on victrolas and tapes in tape players and such on vines ending in Tim-Burton curlyques. There were little metal half-pipes running along them, where a marble was running down, and whenever it went to a stop, it would start the music at the closest playing device to the stopping point. For a while I was happily playing piano, the keys of which were placed conveniently on a vine. When the marble stopped at one thing, I would play awhile along with it until the music stopped, then it went to another music thing and I would sit and play along with that for a while. I was actually quite happy, until finally it came to a stop at a particularly detailed victrola.
It made an earsplitting, not quite cacophonous burst of horrible noise possibly made by orchestra instruments. It felt evil, menacing, and it terrorized me. It seemed to go on for hours, and every time I tried to cover my ears, it got even louder, until I imagined I could feel it in my chest. The scene ended, skipping to one of those documentary-style dreams in which a voice is talking, explaining everything. The voice was raspy, vader-ish, and it said some nonsensical phrase as the "camera" zoomed in on a bright yellow field of sand under a burning sunset.
the camera skipped to a man in a hat and stereotypical fisher's attire walking on the sand up to a hill while dragging a bucket of something, the sun making him an entirely black silhouette, despite the fact that the field of vision was not a few feet away from him and he was not anywhere near the horizon.
Eventually, it came to my attention that I was no longer a camera's view, but walking behind him. I quickened my pace to walk beside him and presumably ask him where I was, because it was uncomfortably hot. I couldn't catch up somehow, and when he got too far away, the noise started again. It was horrible and sadistic, and I tried to scream for the man's help, but it wasn't one of those things where nothing came out, it was that my screams were completely drowned out. And then I somehow knew he was smiling. I fell on by back screaming for someone to help me, but it was still nothing. I tried to crawl to him, I crawled as quickly as possible, until the hot sand burned me, which made me cry and scream all the louder, still drowned out in the horrible blast of noise.
The man turned around, and it was revealed he had no face, but simply a gigantic smiling mouth with long, sharp teeth, with blood on them. He roared at me, and I fell helplessly on my back, and presumably with the last of my strength, tried to crab-walk away from him. The noise distorted my focus, and I shut my eyes tightly, suffering from the horrible noise. When I opened them again (in the dream) I was in a black swamp, the water was thick, hot as the desert, and tar-like. There were dead, charred-looking trees thickly covering the area. I turned and saw the fisherman without his smile, fishing and wading in the horrible black water, I turned to run, only to find that his ungodly smiling face was right behind my head, I fell back and burned to death in the "water".
Since it was hot under the sheets when I awoke with a twitch due to my simulated falling, I thought I was still dying in the blackness of the room, I screamed and cried for someone to help me, and came horrendously close to a heat stroke wrapping myself in the blankets for "protection". Since we live on a farmet, my parents were out working on their business and were unable to help me, so I thought I was still in my dream, or worse yet, my dream was now real. I screamed until i lost my voice and eventually fell into a weeping, uncomfortably hot sleep until morning. I had the same dream again and again until I was literally twitching at night at every little noise.
That's probably what made me the sadistic human being I am today. I shuddered until I was 6 every time I heard an orchestra warm up (the cacophony when they're all practicing different parts of the song at once) and even though the dream has no effect on me anymore, and I have had no fear of bright colors or loud noises since the dream stopped, I still pull the blanket up over my ears when I sleep, which I used to do when I was still in mortal fear of the noise.
That, ladies and gents, was my horrible dream.
