I have not had a nightmare for ages, but there is one that has stuck in my mind for almost 5 years now. It was rather short... but it was still haunting, and I think about it from time to time.

I was in a black void. I felt like I couldn't breathe. Everything was closing in around me and I was panicking. I couldn't see, I couldn't breathe, and really, worst of all... I could hear. And I really, really wish I couldn't at the time.

At first it was just a small little giggle, barely audible, like a child's; at first I thought it was me, but I quickly dismissed that when I heard the giggle, gaining in intensity, from my left side.

I tried to turn, but I couldn't really tell if I could or not... because... well. Black Void and all. The sound kept changing its focus... and I noticed it was getting not only closer, but more frequent as well.

After what felt like ages, the giggling stopped. I felt like the dream was over and that in just a moment I would wake and everything would be okay.

That quickly changed when I was nearly deafened by a loud shriek, followed by a loud laugh. I heard the sound of a blunt object hitting... something. I'm not sure what it was. Maybe a crowbar hitting a skull. All I heard was the laughing and the screaming. And I wanted to just go away.

After a while, the screaming stopped, but the laughter kept going. The laughter came closer, seeming to echo around the void. It lasted for what seemed like hours, until finally all I saw was a glint of something shiny, something metal, over my head. And it fell, swiftly, with one last laugh.

I woke up. And I haven't had a nightmare since. Perhaps that's for the best.

Being 12 at the time of this dream, I still wonder to myself if it meant anything... probably not, but it's possible.
