forgotten dream

i had an experience the other night, i haven’t had time to sit down and write about it. it was a dream i don’t want to remember, but i have to if i want to keep remembering these things. i was in my parents old trailer again, as it seems most of my horrific nightmares are there. i walked into the bathroom, and i remember looking in the mirror and it wasn’t me…i wasn’t the same, but only slightly. also when i moved, the image didn’t mimic me exactly…much like it was watching me from the other side and trying to copy me, but just didn’t quite match up. of course i got nervous and turned to leave…the lights were out, and i looked at the door and knew that it would close…and it did. the door swung shut and i felt that obligatory chill and shiver run down my spine and through my soul. i wasn’t ready to see what was waiting this time, but i turned anyway, and there it was. it was a new one this time, one i’d never seen. it was greenish, slight haze of blue…leathery looking skin. it wasn’t quite tight like human skin, almost a little loose but not like in a “decayed” way…more like it was pliable and elastic-like. well, i’d say it was average height, probly 5’5″ or so, no hair that i remember, but it had a nearly oblong head, almost like a taller forehead and skull, not quite a rounded dome and not quite coned, a tad in between. the image is fading a bit, so it’s hard to be clear on all the details. i remember the hands were clawed and had digits, most likely it had 5 fingers on each hand with typical pointed claws. i remember it having teeth and remnant fangs, but nothing ridiculous or exaggerated…just enough to not be human teeth. it’s hard to see it, i feel like i’m seeing an image of something else when i try to concentrate and i don’t want to mix the details with something else. well the eyes were sunk in, i believe a hint of orange or dull yellow, they weren’t bright and piercing at all…just a low glow. i don’t remember any wings of any type, and i don’t remember any markings or tattoos or decoration or jewelry, and i believe it was naked by our standards but had no discernable sex organs. when i first saw it after the door shut in front of me, i remember it slowly phasing from the shadow, like it was there watching and as i looked toward the thing it slowly became visible. it slowly walked toward me, very slowly, and i remember nearly being with my back against the door and i was losing touch with my body…it was trying to paralyze and keep me from moving. i do clearly remember yelling toward it, cursing at it and such to leave, but my body was slowly freezing and i was less able to move or speak. i raised my arms in protection with my palms facing outward in a last attempt to deter it, but the magic was simply not there. ultimately my body froze and i closed my eyes and felt it inches away from me and finally broke off and woke myself up.
