Scary reoccurring dream😳

For as long as I can remember I’ve had this reoccurring dream. I don’t have this dream every night, but probably about 3 times every 6-12 months. It’s always the same exact dream though.

I’m in a basement of a house. I always start in the basement. I’ve never seen the outside of the house or the rest of the house besides the basement & the room in it. In that basement there’s a room but it’s not on the same level as the basement. There’s like wooden stairs that allows you to access the room but the stairs to the room are IN the basement. Weird.

Anyways, in my dream I can remember me saying, “hey I have dreams about that room”. Then all of the sudden things get very dark. The next thing I know, I’m at the top of those stairs getting ready to all into the room. But then I stop because I feel very uneasy. My gut tells me to run away. But the people in my dream with me, who I don’t recognize — they’re complete strangers — assure me that it’s fine & that they REALLY wanna show me this room. So I go in reluctantly.

And then I see it.

I don’t even know how to describe it. I say “it” because it’s not human. It’s face is disfigured, it’s body is contorted in to all sorts of ungodly messed up positions. It crawls but backwards (meaning a human crawls with their belly’s down & their backs up. This thing crawls with its back down & belly up). It’s not even a color, it’s just... scary.

So, in my dream I see this thing & I start screaming. Which gets its attention. The next thing I know I’m flying out of that room, down the stairs, across this basement & I start up the stairs to come out of the basement. I don’t make it to the door.

I somehow teleport to outside of the house, in another unfamiliar setting. It’s like a football field. I’m in the bleachers talking to this guy. He says he’s my boyfriend but I’ve never seen him before & I’m married in real life. I say that in my dream too. He gets mad at me. He tells me he hopes the thing I saw in that room gets me. He says, “it likes it when you scream for help”. And then he’s gone.

Then I’m in a living room, which again I’ve never seen before outside of the dream, I’m watching this girl from above. Almost like you would think a person would look at themselves if they were having an out of body experience. The girl has been sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag & all of the lights are on. There’s a notebook on a coffee table that she’s been using to keep track of things. The page she has opened has times & what occurred. “7:57 - loud banging upstairs. My hair is pulled shortly after. I screamed “please stop!” & it did.”, “8:28 - my hair is pulled. This time I was dragged across the floor. I screamed for help. It liked that”.

Just as this girl is about to fall asleep, something I can’t see grabs her by the ankles & yanks her across the room. She slams up against the wall & starts screaming. I just hover & watch in horror. She scrambled to hide under the coffee table but the thing (which for some reason I can’t see) grabs her again & throws her at another wall. She’s screaming & crying. I just watch. She gets up again & this time she runs to the couch. She sits down & starts screaming for help. The attack stops.

Then the dream is over. I wake up into a full blown panic attack every time I have this dream. It’s scary & I don’t know why I have it. I remember having this dream at 5 years old.

I just needed to tell someone..... just in case.
