Cant sleep even with heavy eyelids.

I wonder what's wrong with me today. To be honest, ever since the end of the Olvl results, I practically turned noctural. I slept during the day, and became active at night. Why? It was peaceful- no one's there to disturb me. I tried to break the sleeping cycle yesterday, knowing that I have to hang out with friends today at the kbox( Sufficient rest is the basic need of a singer). But I found out that I can't. Even if my eyelids felt heavy. Even if I wanted to.

I closed them, and felt the drowziness take over me. I know that's the feeling when we are going to sleep. And I did, but I woke up moments later. Apparently, sandman didn't provide enough of his sands. Dreams. That's what kept me awake. Whenever I fell into a slumber, dreams would wake me up. No matter if its pleasant or not, I woke up. I checked the clock from time to time, and the intervals from one to the next, aint even an hour.

I thought they would go away after a few attempts, but they didnt. They persisted on through the entire night. Until I got fed up with it that I decided to switch on the comp and get on with my day. That's when I realised that it is 6am. What's more is that, I felt really sore on my left arm( it hurts to move in the beginning).

There are so many dreams, yet I only vaguely remember a few. I know there are some "continuations". With regards to horror. A few of brutal killings. And some weird, normal ones.

The "continuations", has been haunting me since I was young. They just kept coming, they never stopped. And some times when I got inside, the settings either reset and I started from square one again or that I continue where I left it before I woke up. There was a thing about starting from the beginning again, I was given a choice to choose the route I am taking.

It all started with my whole family and my auntie's family. We were traveling together on a foreign land. We were on a truck on a sandy road, when a HUGE chimera( yes, fused animals) appeared from behind us and began to chase us. We sped up and inevitably, after some time, got trapped into a pool of mud. Since our vehicle wont budge, and a chimera was on the loose, we decided to run for our lives. Halfway while running, I decided to look back at what we abandoned, and found a foolish man running towards the truck, unable to notice the animal, and got eaten up with its tiger fangs. I shook my head and continued running, with my dad in the lead.

Then, we ended up in grassland with irregular patterns on it. I not sure how the dreams work though, but after the first few times, I get to see a bird's point view from the top and found out that it is a maze. Then, a giant chick annouced its presence by shaking the earth with its stompings. Once again, we decided to run for our lives. However, there was one thing about the field though: we cant step on the grass( thus, I said that it is a maze). I am not sure on how the mutated chick move, but my mother and auntie seemed to have predicted it and command us to move from time to time.

At the end of the maze, there was two bridges. One that connects with an expedition of fishes and insects behind a locked door, and another, a toilet and a carpark. The whole group went to the first bridge the first time and can't open it. The second time( another dream), we went to the toilet. Inside the toilet( it is larger than the one in zhenghua school canteen), there were numerous screams/wailings of agony. They were such horrible sounds that I tried to cover my ears from them. The design of the toilet is old( around my grandfather times), and the lighting in the area was only supported by a flickering lamp. I am not sure where the screams come from, but the family kept on walking until we reached the end. That's when we realised that there is a "different" voice. One clearly stood out from the others. We decided to follow it and ended up standing in front of a cubicle. I( yes, stupid me), opened it and was immediately pulled inside by a pale withering hand, and the door was slammed shut. I could hear tries at picklocking and in front of me, was a woman in her mid-thirties. She seemed to be crazy( or so how her face look like) as she was wailing, and in her finger, was a key. I knew instinctively back then that that was the key we are searching for, and I immediately jumped at her, hoping to snatch it. I got it, and boy did she got angry. She was so mad that her whole body turn red and blood started spilling out from her forehead. Her nails grew, and it was red in colour. In an instant, she turned aggressive. Out of fear, I screamed. The picklocking attempts seemed to be more vigorous than before, and I moved backwards until there was no room for me to move. She was so dangerously close to me, playing with her nails, and that insane smile. I was so hapless that all I could do is scream. Then, just when the nails began to move towards the eyes and pop it out, the door opened from behind me and I fell on my cousin. The woman had vanished.

Of course, with the key in hand, we went back to the first bridge. Opened the door and went in. There was nothing much about this room, it was just an ordinary place. Except that it links to another bridge. An all too familiar bridge, it can be found in my neighbourhood. The only difference is the material used. The one in my neighbourhood is made out of rocks/cement but the one in my dream was made up of metals. So, with every step made, sounds of clacking could be heard. Well, under the bridge, there was a violent flow of muddy waters. Those kind that you know you will die if you fall into it. Once the family reached the end of the bridge, it splits into two paths. The first path, is to walk along the muddy waters( never tried this path before), while the other, a dark corridor( the first time I when I wanted to go there, there was no one. however, on the subsequent tries, I saw a couple walking into the corridor).

It was basically a LOOOONG stretch of corridor with numerous rooms on the side. I never paid any attention to it on my first try, and was invited to go into a room by an old lady. I refused the offer, of course and kept on walking. However, on the times when I see a couple going in, I would tried to catch up with them, searching from rooms to rooms. When I finally found them, they were in a room with the same old lady who invited me before. And she was chopping up the man's meat. I screamed and ran out, only to find a lot more old ladies running after me with choppers in their hands and "inviting" me into their room.( I got separated from my family, cause I dashed into it, just so to let you know).

Still remember that I told you that sometimes the dream will reset? and that there was a carpark on the second bridge with the toilet? I went there. It seems that whenever one person go inside, they will be randomly teleported to the different levels, and somehow, I know that once a person get inside, they would be trapped for 24hours. It is okay during the daytime. But when night comes, many white figures can be seen floating about. I am not sure about the consequences of being seen, but I had never been caught. Call me Ninja Yap. A key will just pop out of nowhere after we survived the 24 hours. So its not such a for this ordeal. And the whole thing restarts again.

I remember vaguely about the place after the corridor, but since I hardly got to that "stage", it doesnt really hit me. So yea. Stupid "continuation" dreams.

There was another dream, which I forgot all the details, but I only remember a shirtless man hovering on top of me, with a knife in his hands. I also had one too. I slashed it onto his right shoulder and told him to give up, but he turned ballistic and kept on slashing me non-stop.

And there was another, really funny one. In that dream, dogs were able to board the bus. I was sitting near the entrance, when two of them got up. So I looked at them, and one of the dogs( I assumed it to be the male), barked at me. I ignored it and continued reading the book in my hands. After a while, when the dogs had reached their stops, they jumped out from the window. The one which barked at me earlier on, got stuck! Serve him right! Karma! But I helped him nonetheless, and he jumped out into his owner's arms.

Guess what? There are still a few more which I dont remember. But all of them kept me from sleeping through the night peacefully!! Argh... :/
