So I had this dream last night...

I don't honestly remember much of anything about it other than that it was a scary dream... I remember a lot of horror movie like moments, mixed in with demons and chase scenes and the like. but I cant remember anything specific really.

I remember the last thing I saw... and then the last thing I heard. The latter being much more interesting than the first.

The last thing I saw was a man, and he was turned away from me, with his back facing me, and then he turned around and looked at me. Something about this must have triggered my conscious thought, because I remember thinking, "This is scary, I dont want to be this worked up again in this dream... GET OUT." so I remember thinking, and knowing it was a dream and I was able to wake myself up.

But the next part is whats interesting, as with my now rational thought on the idea I know it had to occur during my still sleeping self, but the fact I was in the midst of waking myself up, when I first awoke, led me to believe It had happened while I was awake.

I distinctly heard in an old man's almost crippled kind of voice "Fear the red". I was awake almost instantly after I heard this. And I originally thought I had heard it after I had woken up. but everyone else was asleep and so I know It was in my dream I heard this.

the other odd thing about this statement is it came from no one in the dream. When i first wake up if I stay still and think I can usually vary vividly remember my dream and almost walk back through it if there's nothing else going on to distract me, like a TV being on, or alarm going off. And I sat and tried to think who that voice could have been. It wasn't anywhere else in the dream... And it was VERY memorable, I can even remember the voice now. And like I said earlier it was very distinct and so audible that I had tricked myself at first into thinking I had heard it while awake.

Fear the Red. That's another strange thing, is that there was nothing in my dream that was distinctly "RED" or that had anything to do with Red. so why did my brain suddenly when I had already realized I was in a dream, and Had chosen to stop the dream, why did "Fear The Red" come into it?

I'm not one that believes in dreams telling me something, other than maybe just realizations of myself. there's no truth to dreaming the future. you cant know the future because it hasn't happened yet. But your dreams can bring to light things you oppress in your daily conscious mind because mainly your dreams are your brain just creating, and your brain cant create what it doesn't know. So if your brain knows something, then it can be thrown into a dream, this is the reason a lot of the time you can look back at the day before hand and pick parts of your dream from things you observed from that time that might have shown up in your dream.

But fear the red is different. I know there's nothing to be worried about, and I'm not going around avoiding red things today, on the way home from work I stopped at every stop sign, I drove next to a red car, and drank sweet tea from McDonald's which had a very bright red lid. I'm even wearing a red shirt at the moment. But i've never had this happen before in a dream. Never after consciously knowing something was a dream and purposefully waking myself up have I ever had anything in that dream happen between my decision and the point of me actually waking up.

It was a very weird moment. and has been in my head all night at work and all morning since I've been home. Fear The Red.

strange...
