My first dream entry in a long while turned out to be my first nightmare entry in a long while too.
I'm not sure but I think it all began before I fell asleep last night. In my novels, I always try to come up with pun names for my characters. Last night, I was thinking about the JFK assassination and came up with the name Degrassi Knoll...or Degrassi Knowles. Yes, it's corny as heck. That's probably why my subconsious revolted.
In my dream, the family was staying either at home or at a hotel...considering that we were all packed in one room. The curious thing about it was that not only was my nephew there...but also my estranged sister-in-law. And true to character she hates me in my dream just as she does in real life...considering the way she sneered at me.
So anyway, it was late at night and it was raining real hard. That made the place real creepy and I was sure that the place was haunted. Against my better judgment, I decided to get up and go to the bathroom. I heard my sister-in-law cackling behind me and as I do in real life, I ignored her. I got into the bathroom...and as soon as I closed the the water from the sink and the shower began splashing into the walls for no apparent reason. For me that was a sure sign that the place was haunted...and I panicked. I tried to get out but there was no doorknob. The only way I could get out was the small hole in the door where I'd have to fit my finger so I could open the door.
I screamed for help but I was out of breath and my voice didn't quite carry. It was then that I turned towards the shower area and I saw...the ghost. It looked like a real person but I couldn't tell its gender. The face looked feminine but the body was masculine. The ghost was wrapped in a white towel from the chest down. Was he/she/it Degrassi Knoll/Knwoles?
And after seeing the ghost...I woke up.
