" A re-ocurring dream that never fails to leave me with a feeling of fear and curiousity. In my mind it seems so short, but the memory remains vivid and everlasting. It is a nightmare that I had as a child - and even now.
In the dream, I am talking to my mother inside of a certain house that my grandmother built. For some reason, as I am talking to my mother, I end up outside walking. My intentions are to pick flowers for someone. Everything around me is black, and white, but in a distance I see a small field of red roses - VERY vivid in color (the most beautiful roses I had ever seen.) As I walk over, a sense of fear overwhelms me, yet I keep walking closer... In the center of this small field of roses I spot this HUGE rabid, black dog staring at me with these fiendish red eyes. (The image still burned into my memory.) My heart stops. I start to run and the dog is chasing me. My heart starts pounding louder, harder, and faster. I get back into the house and nobody is there, so I start slamming all of the doors behind* me. When I finally reach the bathroom, I lock the door and I turn around to see the dog three feet away. As I start to scream, the dog sinks its teeth into my flesh and I wake up with sweat beaded along my forehead. This dream...I know it means something but I can't quite grasp it.
There is a legend I am told of in Germany with the same description of the animal. The dog is said to be a shape-shifter whose true form is the devil, but what could this mean? I am still left pondering this re-occuring nightmare." |
