It’s currently 5am and I was having a nightmare about almost a squid game type of torture mixed with some fnaf (I’ve been watching markiplier playing security breach, no spoilers here though.) but not child games, more completing a work type task and if you get caught by a bot, they murder you, and if you don’t complete the task correctly, in time, or if you’re the last, you’ll die. Until you’re in the last 10, where you’re tortured until you either lay down dead or are mutilated beyond living. The last one was all your teeth being extracted. I don’t know what they next one is.

I’m trying to fall back asleep but I can’t physically stop myself from re-entering the nightmare when I do. Usually in a situation like this, I force myself into thinking of anything happy and unrelated, but tonight the nightmare genuinely creeps out from behind whatever I’m thinking and starts taking over. I even tried my “everything is white, I’m in a plain universe. Nothing is here but emptiness and white” but all I could see was the dream, and my brain deadass had the audacity to make the murder room slightly more fucking white.

So anyway I’m staying awake until I either fall asleep naturally and pray I don’t re-enter the nightmare, or I’m just staying awake for the next few hours.
