When I went to a summer camp once, I kept having the same recurring dream. First let me explain, it was a boot-camp style thing. We slept in bunks with the lights completely out and when it was 6:00 AM, our instructor would lean halfway into the door and yell at us all to get up and then turn on the lights. This is the dream I had every night for the entire week. Our instructor would come and wake us up as usual, but nobody woke up except me. I would get out of bed and walk out the door. The instructor would lead me downstairs into a sort of basement-classroom. He wouldn't turn on the lights, but I could see a single chair in the middle of the room. He told me in a low and angry voice to sit down. I sat, and he would close the door. A feeling of panic would wash over me, and I would begin to hear a loud ringing sound. The ringing in my ear got louder and louder until the room lit up blue and I could see a thin man with the head of a goat at the front of the room. He would just stand there for about 10 seconds before he made a low, loud, distorted, and demonic barking sound. I always woke up then. I've seen the goat-man in a few other dreams, but the most memorable one was when I was about 1 year old if I remember right. Now, I remember damn close to nothing from before the age of 7, but I remember this clearly. I was lying in my crib, and I saw the goat-man looming over the crib. I felt a strong sense of dread. Whenever I closed my eyes, his face was still there. The dreams at the summer camp made me remember this dream.
