Bad Dreams

These nightmares...tonight it was about me, my sister, Danny from game grumps, Isabel and some random person I have never met (reminded me a lot of cyborg from the original teen titans)going to an antique shop.
This shop was run by a really skinny lady I have never seen before. Very energetic and knew her stuff about antiques.
I found a 110 yr old kids toy (it was a lighthouse) that I really thought was cool. The lady offered us tea and talked about what we found and the history behind the items. All the items had kind of a dark past. My light house for instance was the only surviving item of a house fire that the child who owned it started.
We all were saying goodbye and I had to use the restroom (tea makes me have to pee) so I asked where her customer restroom was. She directed me to the back of her house like shop (meaning she used and antique house to run her antique shop) and used the restroom.
When I came out the others had gone to the car to wait. The lights were kind of out like she had closed shop in the minute it took me to use the bathroom.
I left the store with my item and headed toward a black car I had never seen but felt familiar with. When I got into the car I noticed that Isabel wasn't there. I asked where she was. I was given the "I thought she was with you" statement. We all looked at each other and decided to go back in to see where she went to.
We went up to the door to find it was locked. We banged on the door for and minute shouting "hello" then Danny came up with an idea to go around back and see if a door back there was still open.
We all travelled around back and up some wooden stairs that led to a porch and a single white back door. It wasn't unlocked. So....we broke in. I don't know why we did but we were sure that Isabel was in there.
We were in twos sneaking around the house when we heard the antique lady walking up from somewhere in the house at a scary fast pace. We hid behind various things. She didn't find us but her behavior was odd. She easy muttering to herself and pacing as seen was making her way through the house.
We went down the stairs to find a large room with a TV on and Isabel asleep on a bed. All of us found this very strange as she was awake less than 10 minutes ago. We tried to wake her but to no avail.
The cyborg look alike picked Isabel up and we were about to leave down the stairs when the antique lady came walking from the dark around the bottom of the stairs saying in a loud and very psycho sounding voice "I need it! I neeeeedd iiitttt!"
We all had no idea what "it" was but we decided not to ask and just started to sneak the hell out of there. My sister ran to go start the car. We had to avoid the antique lady by dodging and hiding on out way to the back door.
Right as we made it out the door (after we unlocked it....odd cus we unlocked it when we broke in), I hear a whisper right in my ear, "you can't leave" then a shriek "I NEED IT!"
I bolted. Cyborg doppelganger also bolted with Isabel in his arms and down the stairs we went. The very thin antique lady was following behind breathing like she was fucking nuts. Somehow it became night (dreams right?) and my sister and Danny were waiting in the car screaming at us that she was coming.
I open the door, he throws Isabel in the back and jumps in like superman closing and locking the door behind him. I also get in the back seat and make it to the front as this lady comes hauling ass at the car screaming "I NEEEEEDD IIIIITTTT!" With her voice becoming higher and higher in the "it" (like scaling up into a song) until it's just a scream. Her eyes...I can't even describe how terrifying they were in my rear view.
I floor it and make it out of the parking lot, down the road and past the first light (which I blow through). We make it to a bridge (I think the Howard Franklin) then danny calls the cops. He's talking with them for a minute then gets a horrified look on his face. He thanks the officer, hangs up and stares into the distance.
We all ask what's wrong and he proceeds to tell us that the officer said the house we were all in was just an empty parking lot. There was no residence or shop there.
All of all sudden Isabel wakes up, sits up, eyes wide and looks all me through the rear view. I ask if she's okay. She whispers something I can't hear. I ask her to say it again. She yells "I NEEEED IIIITT!" and her mouth as she's screaming becomes more wide than humanly possible and she attacks.
I woke up.
I'm not telling you this to frighten you. I wrote this in hopes that it makes it go away. If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Sorry if I give you nightmares too!

wicked dream...
V.
well if you find a ring inside the light house,
(as in continued on next dream, i have those but not this kind of thing)
try not to put it on.
more likely of course, the 'precious' was the person herself.
one thing about things not working in dreams exactly the same way they do in the world we're awake in,
is that while you might never have complete conscious control, you can often tweek them yourself.
i've been places in real life, wide awake, that weren't there the next day, wide awake,
but there was no menace in them. just a path that could not be retraced.
parking lots and other things have of course been built over graves,
often indiginous graves, or those of minorities,
sometimes knowingly, sometimes not.
though personally i could care less what is done with my remains once i'm not longer in them,
i would certainly have no wish to return to them, having gone on to other forms of existence,
or in other places.
many fears are based on shared imaginings. i prefer to imagine my own.
i feel more menaced by living tyrants then by hungry ghosts.
of course if i were to die by misadventure, there are certainly asses my ghost wouldn't mind kicking.
Another discovery I made was that the more dreams I wrote down, the easier it became over time to remember them upon waking. Though nightmares can be terrifying as they occur, writing them down does have a way of separating your waking self from what happened during sleep.
It's awesome that you get inspiration from your dreams. I would guess that's why you're so good at coming up with new and absolutely beautiful music!
