except it was MY WORLD. I mean it was MINE, I knew it was mine because of everything to it. It was like what would happen if people made hell on earth and tossed in 60 gallons of acid to go with it. I can't remember exactly WHERE I woke up in the dream (im beginning to think my drams don't have me just appear, but they actually have me wake up, like as if the real world is my dream and the dream is reality). So, I awoke in this strange place, im not even sure where it was exactly, it looked like the multi-tiered parking lot area that they usually have next to a mall, with the ramps leading up and down to the next floors. Cars were scattered everywhere, some burnt, some rusted, and some frozen in this white icey-crystal formation with people still inside, frozen as well. The gore.......enough said, there was gore, and lots of it. I was working my way to find a ramp when I actually found the exit! (you know, those long tunnels with the glass walls for you to see outside as your walking to the mall, usually suspended in the air as you do so?). So as I opened up the door, the tunnel was mostly gone, aside from a few pieces of steel that lead to the larger building (im still assuming a mall here). I look down to see how high up I was. And what did I see? Nothing, just this swirling black and red mist of I-don't-know-what-the-hell. I look up to the sky, and I see the ground, in just as much torn chaos and destruction and gore as the parkinglot floor I was on. Oh, and I found pieces of the tunnel, IE: small pieces of flat rock, floating there, like as if I was on the roof and the roof was actually the floor. I couldn't get to the ceiling/floor to get across the stones, and even then, no telling if the stones would fall or not. So I gave up and went back to the parking lot.

I meandered around again until everything goes black. (I say everything goes black cuz thats when my memory of that location ends). I come to again underground, or what I presume to be underground. There was railroad tracks, so maybe a subway or something, im not sure. Except to my left, where the tracks would have continued, they were mangled and twisted and destroyed, and there was no ground under them, like as if something made this massive hole in the earth and the tracks gave out under them (from the way they looked, I'd assume the train or whatever was supposed to be on these tracks fell in, because I could see small glitters of metal in the same red and black mist reflecting some of the light from the fires burning varous corpses (don't even remind me of the small!!). So I noticed motion in the black mist, and noises, not the usual destructive noises such as rocks or fire or anything, no, motion, like something was down there. But there was no motion i could see at all. I continued on, moving on and around cars, and came to this fence blocking off the massive hole, and thats when I had seen the things that were making the noises.

They stood about 5 feet tall, mostly long thin legs, quadraped creatures, black matted fur (maybe from the blood from the corpses cuz these definately weren't friendly). Their body made up for about 20% of their height. The back was hunched over, like as if some one crossed a dog with.......hunchback of notradam (fuck you this is my first time spelling the damn place). Its back had large spikes jutting out from it (reminescent of Hark's spikes to her sealing armor). Its mouth was a tiny hole, with an extended, long tongue with various spikes and barbs on it, its eyes were hollowed out black sockets, but still seemed able to see. It smelt bad, and i mean baaaaaad. The burning corspes in the tunnel didn't match to this things stench.

These things were crawling out of the hole in the ground (more like a crate I'd say), and some were moving slowly, like as if they just climbed out of it, their long, thin legs slowly moving them along. As for the ones further up (they were moving more like you'd expect a caravan, or pilgramiage, in a straight line behind one another to their destination), and therefore, closer to me moved, they gradually got slower and slower until finally, they seemed to be motionless, and the ones closest to me (ones I could touch) were frozen in that strange white crystal ice stuff. It wasn't cold, and there was no sense of warmth to them, like as if they were only stone.

I continued on, found a stairwell and went up, I found this weird guy. I say weird because I have no memory of him at all, like I've never seen him before, but he was saying about how I owe him for saving him. he asked me if I had tried to eat, or killed any one/thing. I replied back, "Ya I killed. I had to kill one of those damn things to get here. I even tried eating it, but nothing happened! I saw it a minute later like there was nothing wrong with it, no wounds, no bites, nothing!"
"Then, even if you try to eat. nothing happens to the source?"
"I don't know. Why?"
"Well, you DO owe me?"
"What? No! Get away from me!"
"Come on, just a bite, im so hungry"
and he moved on me, but his mouth wasn't human anymore. It became this massive mouth of mangled teeth, some sharp and pointed, others chipped and broken like as if he tried to take a bite out of a steel plate or something. I shoved him off me and pulled my gun out. I tried to shove him off the staires (the staires he was on were broken, the place where the staires should be lead back down to the tracks and vehicles. it looked to be about a good 30 feet up) but he wouldn't budge. His large mouth still open and gaping, like he was just waiting for me to drop my guard. I tried backing up, but the door was locked, and to take my eyes off the guy (who was wearing a janitor outfit by the way, slightly bald, grey hair, about 6 feet tall, maybe 185/200, looked to be in his 50's at least) would surely means he would take a bite out of me. And for some reason, I had a feeling it'd be the neck, a nice big soft, chewy chunk from the neck, the pain would be immense and I'd probably die, maybe one of the big reasons why me trying to take a bite out of a monster, and a monster trying to take a bite out of me would be so different, I don't heal nearly as quick.

I heard a voice telling me to get down, I turned around and took a step to the right, just then a dagger came flying from between the door's bars (imagine prison bars but as a door). The dagger hit the thing in the mouth, going into the mouth and slightly out the back of its throat/cheek, on an angle. It fell backwards and the guy who threw it was telling me to unlock the door asap. I tried but it didn't work. so I shot the lock and started to move, but then I heard a noise. The new person (apparently he was one of my friends) told me not to look, but I did. The things body started to shake, and the chest expanded, tearing the flesh and this rithing mound of tendrils or tentacles or worms or SOMETHING came out of its chest, wiggling and flailing, the mouth had the same thing happening. The guy who saved me grabbed my hand telling me to run. As we're running (apparently this monster in this state was DAMN fast and strong!) the friend is telling me apparently the monster is a parasitic kind, and right now the body is dying, so its trying to move to a new host by releasing its spores, and we had to survive for roughly 5 minutes while the spores were being wasted chasing us down these halls and through these rooms. Thankfully there was no ventilation, so we didn't have to worry about the whole place being filled with them.

We ran from room to room, never stopping (that thing was literally behind us, like, 7 feet at most). Everytime we got to a door, we opened it and closed it behind us, trying to see if we could lock it, but we couldn't. So while I TRIED to hold the door shut, my friend was finding another door, and then as soon as the monster stopped banging on the door for that one second, I ran for it and my firned opened the door and we were off again. We did this for several doors (by my count, before I woke up, we were at 15), but then we hit a dead end. it was a tiled hallway, like wahsroom/shower tiles in a public reck center for when you go before/after swimming. We had gone through 3 doors before when it changed to these tiles from the common grey concrete walls of the maintenance hallways. Th last door had no lock, no doorknob, and they were tiles, we had no grip to keep the door closed, especially not against that thing, and we had no way out. I tried one last door, trying my hardest, my absolute best to open it with my fingers at the seems, trying to pry it open (there was no indication of a lock to the door, and from what I could see, the other side had no knob either, so it was only just sitting there). I tried and tried, but couldn't get it. A second later my friend got pushed back from the door. The spores were at the door trying to get in. I tried harder, but still couldn't get it. I checked my pockets, but I had nothing to help me lift it. If only we had that knife used to kill the spore thing, we could open the door easily, but to let it in here even for a second would kill us instantly.

The thing banged against the door again, knocking my friend to the wall I was at. It stood there for a moment before a loud weezing sound was heard, and the mass of worms/tendrils grew larger. I turned my head away and said, "Im so sorry. Pause!"

Now, for those who may not know me too well, I have a slight capability to control my dreams. Not to the point I can make stuff appear, or do anything I want. I can only control time, and that is to stop, freeze-frame, or, in simpler terms. Pause the dream. The thing is though, when I pause the dream, I emediately count down from 3 to 1, and then I wake-up. So I did it. I woke up, and wrote down my dream asap.
Why did I apologize to my freind? Because I left him there to die. I could have stayed so he didn't die alone, but I didn't. I was terrified to have myself, my mind become dead, and my body used as some parasitic being's vessel to do its own dirty work because it wasn't born with the body like ours to survive without a host form.

details I realized I left out. Bloody tiled hallways, broken and decrepid concrete hallways, and as we ran, that same stench from those dog things was around us, and varous places had that frozen stuff on the walls and such, but we didn't react the same way we should have like if we were running on ice.
PS: Why I never shot the running spores with the gun? I had this feeling like even if I had used a full clip on the thing, it'd still be chasing us.

Major long bad dream I had just about half an hour ago (I've been typing for half an hour, yes). And you know what makes this WHOLE dream bad? I left my friend to die to that damn thing. Thats what made it a bad dream, otherwise, it would have been considered a normal dream.
and yes, yes I did forget to put my crystals under my pillow before I went to sleep. They were upstaires in my coat pocket while I was asleep. So, shame on me, I deserve this dream for forgetting them.
