Peculiar

There was a fuss in our department this morning. I just arrived and there a panicky senior finance staff was telling everyone in the room that she had just got a weird dream the previous night. Iirc, she caught a flying animal (I think it was a bat or butterfly) intruding her house. The senior kinda freaked out for fear that it was some kind of sign that something possibly bad would happen, and kept asking if anyone knew what that means. Everyone tried to help look up for the meaning while she rang up her family who lives accross the island to find out whether they’re alright or not.

It harkened back to a dream I had years ago. 

In said dream, I suddenly woke up all alone in an unknown, retired place that was as dark as pitch. All of a sudden, a beam of light broke through the skies and slowly permeated, illuminating my surroundings. It was then I began to realize that I was confined underneath a giant-ass glass hemispher, with no hole, no rift, nor even a single air ventilation. As weird as it was, it’s not suffocating and I could breathe just normally.

Still confused, I laid eyes on a group of people upon the side of the wall I stood nearby. Much to my surprise, two of them were apparently my mom and dad.

I shouted, imploring for them to take me out. Though it was as if I carried coals to newcastle since the soundproof hemisphere made my bawling inaudible from outside. I started to scream on top of my lungs while hot tears streamed down my face. I did see (or feel like seeing) my parents saw me jar against the glass wall, but both of them didn’t seem to care a pin. Instead of trying to help, they turned around and walked away before completely disappeared in the dark.

There it goes, the most frighteningly peculiar dream I’ve ever had.

I keep wondering why of all dreams, all that I got down cold are the ones that left nasty taste in the mouth. One is this one, one is about me getting subtly rejected by an idol I’ve stalked around for an entire day [this is so stupid omg], and the other is about an encounter with a ghost lol. 

The latter got me feared and crying when I was child, but this dream is just straight frightening as 1) everything I did was just wild-goose ‘cause nobody could hear nor see me, 2) my most precious people didn’t care for me no more, 3) people left me scraping along helplessly and hopelessly.
