there's no rules, no time. Some dreams are pretty and some hideous. A lot have studied about dreams. There were books published on stores about dreams, their meanings, cause and types of dreams.
Have you ever experienced lucid dreaming? Cause in myself, I do. And I love to direct my dreams, because it doesn't gave me nightmares. But one night while the rain was falling and the hauling dogs on street were making a loud noise. I woke up panthing, I was scared, I am almost stuck on a dream. I thought I couldn't scape. She was chasing me, and she almost got me. An old saying says if that thing who chase you on the dream catches you, then you'll end up n coma or worst is to be dead.
I just turned 19 months ago, my life was better my dreams were planned and my sleep is my entertainment. But being hit by insomnia, makes my fantasy disappear. Now I suffered lack of sleep, dark eye corners and weak body. I am pale as dead, I thought adults are no longer experiencing bad dreams but it was worst. I spent 3 months of lack sleep, my parents are unaware of it. The dream catcher I hang by the windows are useless. And now I just sleep 3 minutes and that thing already hunts me. But still I have to force myself to sleep. Because tomorrow is a big day. I just graduated from highschool and then I'll be living on the city and start my college life. No need to rise on bed right now. Or maybe I should begin to overthink. It helps me to calm.
Then I reach out my phone that was charging on the study table. 80 percent is enoughto surf online. When I finally get online the first post that appeared was the page I followed about dreams and creepy things about dreams. Ofcourse I was looking for answers about these disease. I know it's insomnia some advices about having insomnia was that I have to seek on professionals to deal with it. But base on my social status, I think it's better to handle it myself rather than spend too much amount of money that can be use for the house rentals and other family important needs. Then I scroll down on my phone. I saw my classmate who has a pretty love story online. She and her boyfriend are really suit to each other. They take care on each other went on several places on a date plus both their parents agreed on their relationship. I was wondering, if on my college days will I find mine too. It's pretty boring to not have a wonderful sleep, you can't flirt on the ideal man you choose.
Then I heard the first cry of cock, the sunrise is near.
"Oh.... sleep, sleep. When will come. The roosters are clucking. The sun will soon rise." I said in a low voice to not wake up my sister who was on my side.
I just made a silly poem.
Will I have no choice as usual, lying on bed cannot change everything. I decided to rise and change my location, the doorstep on the room. The door was close so I can lean on it while watching my sister sleeping. Ahhh.. I really envied her peaceful night. I wonder what was she dreaming cause she was smiling. Will then I have to stay in these position looking at her and waiting for the sun to rise from it's bed.

"Bye mom, bye dad. Take care of your health. " Me while waving at them at the school gate. They we're the drama parents that is very awkward to witnessed. Imagining things like in their eyes I am always a child. If I haven't choose to study on the city's college, maybe just maybe, I still would continue to be the Baby Aubrey who can't leave without her parents.
"Goodbye darling. Remember what I said, don't use your phone at night cause it steals sleep!" My mom who shouted.
I only gave her a smile as answer and proceed inside. My parents really thought I surf all night 'til the sun rises. But they don't know I can't sleep at night. Using phone is only an excuse to escape from their worries and my nightmares at night.
But who knows I am now on the city. Maybe that nighmare won't haunt me.
-------------1:08 am--------------
False alarm, my guts are wrong. I just suffered a triple temple run experience on my sleep. Now I have to suffer staring on the ceiling.
I can't hold on lying. It only burns my back. I have to stroll inside the house. No, wrong idea, I just heard from my classmates yesterday that a boy who board here got missing. And they said he was already dead and his soul haunts at night. But it's not night it's already pass 12. Oh no, I forgot some of the ghost are haunting at 3:00am. No choice I have to stay.
I then covered my face with my blanket.
Wait! I am not coward. I'm not afraid of ghost. So stand up Aubrey, there is nothing to be feared of.
As I opened the door it creates an eerie sound. So then I tiptoed downstairs and proceed to the kitchen. Atleast when someone catches me awake I can lie being hungry.
I hate these feeling, I have no one to talk to. I can't even share these issue on my board mates cause I don't like to trouble others.
I was on the middle of overthinking when I feel a goosebumps. I heard a chanting voice, a very familiar chant and a begging voice. I stand up from my seat and follow it's noise. The more it cried out loud when I approach the exit door at the kitchen. And then...
"Why are you still awake!?" The lady on her 50's asked.
