I had the scariest dream ever a few nights ago. It wasn't like a nightmare per se, more like a psychological mind game-type deal. Either way, it was a very frightening experience.
The dream starts out with my boyfriend, and somehow, it had become his responsibility to dispose of a body of someone (I never found out who) that his brother had killed in what I believed to be a drug deal gone wrong. He was scared and worried, but didn't talk about it much, just tried to get me to help him to get rid of the body. I came up with a few suggestions, but I didn't really know what to do. Then as the dream went on, he became more and more demanding and seemed to blame me for the stress that the situation was giving him. I tried to calm him down, because it wasn't like him at all to be like that, but he just kept getting more and more agitated. As this went on, it seemed like he was letting things slip, like he had been covering something up and was getting sloppy because he was getting so angry. To make things worse, whenever I tried to get help from anyone, they all just told me that I should have expected this, as if they had been warning me about Harley from the beginning. I just didn't understand, because he's normally such a quiet person that's easily hurt, but suddenly he wasn't the kid I knew, he was a controlling, violent man, trying to force me to take responsibility for the body. I tried pleading with him to calm down, but he just ignored me, as if I meant nothing to him.
Next thing I knew, I was in this clinic and someone was trying to convince me that I had killed my own baby. I was so confused, but I knew it couldn't be true, so I started to fight back against what they were saying. Suddenly it occurred to me that it was all a big lie, because it had only been six months at the most, and there's no way I could have gotten pregnant. Then I realized they had my brother Seamus in the room next to me, so we left to go find Harley. He was in this factory that he seemed to control, but it seemed to be having some major problems, so he didn't seem to be concerned with me in the slightest as I followed him around, screaming at him to give me some answers. Finally he turned to me and started laughing at me, as if my desperation was no concern of his. The fact that we had been dating for months, and knew all each other's secrets meant nothing to him. He continued to laugh, even as I threatened to tell his most devastating secret, and said, "You really think all that still matters?" I tried to get at him, to fight him, but me and Seamus were being taken away.
Next thing I know, me and Seamus were at the edge of the river, and my and Harley's friend Tycko was there. I tried to question him about Harley, about why we were there, but he just ignored me and started telling this really emotional story in a really monotonous tone of voice about how he had grown up on that river, and how the people that had lived there had depended on the river, as if he was attempting to explain himself, almost as an apology to me. Seamus and I looked at each other, and suddenly in that moment of calm, I understood what had happened. The person I thought was Harley never really was the Harley Knife I knew. He was the leader of some undercover operation (I never did find out what he was trying to achieve), and had pretended to be a naive 18 year old in order to get me under his control so he could frame me for the original murder. When I started to know too much, he realized I wasn't worth the trouble, and drugged me and tried to convince me that I had somehow gotten pregnant. After that failed, he decided to have Tycko kill me and Seamus because I meant so little to him. Tycko wasn't the pure evil that Harley was; instead he was more of an underling of Harley's power. I knew I could outwit Tycko, but really, there was nothing I could do, because even though he didn't really want to have to kill me, he was so numb that he didn't really care.
The dream ends there, so I never found out how I was going to be killed, but that wasn’t even the scary part. What was most terrifying was the thought that there was always a possibility that the people you think you know are really nothing like they seem to be, that my relationship could mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things, and that my emotional involvement with this person could be some big pretence…that’s devastating.
He just
laughed in my face because I thought he had ever loved me.
*shivers* thank god it was only a dream.
