My recurring dream becomes a nightmare.

[Grey.Lady.GMC11]

For the past... I don't know how many years... I've never had exactly the same dream - but the person in my dream is always they same. Sometimes his face changes... but I always recognise him as "that guy" even if I've never met him before. These occur... like two-three or four times a week.

This time it was different. I was hosting a house party in a version of the house I lived in when I was five. There was me, my friend, and a whole bunch of guys that I didn't actually want there... and "that guy". I remember him approaching me, talking to me - I think we were dancing but I'm not sure. There was someone else with us as well... but I didn't notice them. I remember saying something and taking it back (it's sort of vague - I dunno. I was either acting very drunk or made myself believe that I was drunk).

That was when it all started to get strange.

Somehow... I don't know how... he ended up far away from me. And then I knew he was going to die. He was either decapitated, or his head exploded. Then there's a blank - and I can't remember the next part of the dream. Then somehow I realise that everyone who was at the party is going to die. Like that. Except, for some reason, each death will be slower and more painful than the last.

Somehow it skips a day, and some of the people return because the party ended abruptly the night before, and they were wondering if I would be holding it again... but I explain what happened to "that guy", and I lie and tell them that it's the house that's cursed - and that they should go home. Except... part of me believes it, too. But I can't leave.

So I'm stuck alone in my house with my friend, wondering how long it will be until we all die. But then she starts acting really strange. She starts saying, "oh! I'm going to be fine! I can go home!" With this weird smile on her face. At first I realise she is right, and suddenly I'm jealous and angry that she won't stay with me - because I am unable to leave. I'm about to yell at her - but this voice threatens me and all I do is hug her and let her go.

Then I realise that we are both going to die anyway.

And then I wake up.
