Day 127
I had the most curious dream this night, and it seems some kind of energy being has attached itself to me.
In the dream I was running up the stairs through big building that functioned like strange hybrid between office building, housing and shopping centre. In the office at the top lived demon in possession of a piece of light-blue rope that allowed him to control humans. Rope worked only on one person at a time, and I was determined to get it before he can use it. When I reached his office, I found the rope but it disappeared instantly after I grabbed it. Demon appeared and shape shifted for a moment, but I was stronger. As a last resort it shape-shifted into a little baby but I still tossed it into the green liquid, cartoonish looking acid.
Then I noticed something was off about the world. No sound, colours looked as if someone applied sepia filter to them. I figured I'm in some kinda trap and decided to run away, but even after leaving the building and venturing into the city I could not leave the area. Exhausted by the run I sat down at the garden table of some quaint little coffee shop. Suddenly the demon appeared again, a little fella no taller than my older daughter but visibly adult. At first I was alarmed, but he responded with "Relax, I don't hold the grudge. I would do the same" and he sat down next to me. "Medium latte, twice!" he said towards young waitress. "How big is your trap?" I asked, to which he shook his head. "We are both trapped, look at the sky". Sky was golden-hued, looked as if sun was everywhere and nowhere, clouds looked like ink in water. "You see, I used the thread" - explained demon - "but you are too strong for it. This golden hue is the strain our souls put on the thread, yours mostly. I can't control you, but unless one of us wins we are both trapped in this space. Space in our minds, centred on us". I watched the golden sky for a moment, second-by-second it's colour became more and more sickly. Like it was going to fall down, crushing the world beneath. "You can break the trap and free us" continued the demon "You only need to do something that shakes your very soul. Something so not-you that it affects every fibre of your existence". Waitress brought us our coffee. "You could rape her" mentioned demon. "There would be no consequences in the real world, she is but a creation of our minds right now".
As my eyes slowly moved towards young woman, my intuition told me that doing what he says would indeed set us free, however it would do so by handing him victory and I would leave this space as his thrall. I knew what I am, I knew what I am not. There were other things I wouldn't do normally. I stood up, walked towards the waitress as demon's smile widened. "Thank you for the coffee" I said. "You are quite a beauty, you know?"
Demon's eyes widened when the sky cracked like a broken window. I awoke in my bed, still myself. Confused.
During the day I contacted someone I knew was good at checking foreign energies attached to a person and she confirmed I had something on me. My wife removed it few hours later.
