There is something terribly wrong in the area. I have been having these dreams that keep getting more and more vivid as I go, and none of them are good. Normally when I have dreams like these are, it is of things that are going to happen to friends or family and they come true. God, I hope these dreams don't.
I have tried to warn anyone that will listen, but they all just look at me like I am crazy. Maybe I am and that is what my problem is. I found this sight and after looking around it I thought I might as well try here.
Anyways, the dreams I am walking around the city. Everything is fine until I start seeing people with creatures half burried into their minds. They seem to be going about implanting these creatures into everyone that does not have one. Suddenly they see me, stop what they are doing, and start surrounding me as if to attack me. It is then that I wake up screaming.
Please help me.

I am glad someone will listen
The dreams are accellerating, and it seems that these things have discovered that I been having them. It is almost like the can tell that I am somehow different than everyone else. They seem to only come out at night, as I have not been chased by them in the daylight. Anymore, I try to get most of what I have to do done before darkness. But there are still times like last night when I cannot avoid it. I had to be downtown yesterday evening for a client that refused to reschedule, and after I got done found myself being slowly surrounded by them. No matter which way I went they were there and it was like I was being herded into a corner for slaughter. I could tell when it was them because it was like I was feeling and even seeing the evil radiate off of them. I think they would of had me had the cops not shown up to take care of some trouble in one of the bars. As soon as I saw the lights, I ran near them and the crowds and didn't leave until that feeling went away.

You're not alone. I've had very similar things happen to me, too. But Will says that the first thing to realise is that sometimes your dreams aren't just dreams anymore, and it's just a matter of time before you can start to do something about them. He thinks that everyone has the strength to eventually pass beyond the fear, and take control.
I'll admit, I'm not really thrilled about it, but maybe if he's right, I'll stop screaming when I wake up. Maybe I'll be able to move back home.

You traded in your wings
For everything freedom brings
You never left me
You never let me
See what this feeling means
Everything that you feel
Is everything that I feel
So when we dream
We shout....

Beyond belief
I just got back into the apartment and know i need to get this information out as soon as I can.
I got stuck again after hours for work. One of the servers went down and my boss refused to let me go until it was online again. Anyways, on my way out to my car I started getting that bad feeling again, but I could not see anyone in the garage. I kept going slowly and made it to the car. Feeling a little silly, I started putting my stuff into the truck. The freak snuck up on me at that time and threw me against a nearby pillar. Before I could react he had me by the throat. He looked like just another parking garage attendant, but then I started to see this blackness seeping out of him.
He told me in an inhuman voice that it could not be stopped. That it's minions almost had harvested enough cattle to be slaughtered and nothing I or any of the others could do would stop them. That soon it would cross over into our world and bring it's order to us.
At that it started trying to crush my windpipe. I thought I was checking out when this force just lept from me and threw the creature 20 feet away. It was like seeing someone discard a rag doll. I didn't take time to think about it, I just got into my car and drove away as fast as I can.
Something bad is happening here and it is changing me. Sometimes I feel like I am more than human, and the rest of the time... I fear I am becoming something like that thing in the garage.

Made a decision
I spent most of last night thinking about this and made a decision. I do not think that whatever is going on will leave me alone, and I would rather try to do something rather than have these things slowly hunt me down. I wish I had a gun, but up until now I never thought I would need one. I am probably going to buy one in the next few days. I am going to put the bokken from my sword collection into my trunk just in case. If only I would have taken those kendo lessons I always talked about.
I can't even begin to tell you how much this scares me, but the thought of those things finding me while I sleep is worse. I think I am going to start out by wandering around downtown and seeing if I get that feeling again. I will not ignore it and let them catch me unprepared this time. Hopefully, I will be able to find something out about them.

I've come to learn from reading other posts that it's much better to be armed and prepared than to be passive and a target. Yeah, it might worry you having the extra weaponry around. I got a little freaked out when Will suggested I do the same.
Just remember: YOU are not THEM. No matter what you can do, or what you can see or hear, or what you dream at night, there has to be that distinction. What you see may need to be destroyed, but if you let them get into your mind enough to destroy that distinction, then you might as well be dead. THEY may come after you, but never let yourself become THEM.

Another piece of puzzle
Spend yesterday and today downtown wandering around trying to find one of them again. Both times I did not start to get that weird feeling until dusk. Yesterday, I ended up having to run for the car shortly after sensing them becuase I was somehow noticed. Today though, I managed to see something.
I was on the walking bridge by the stadium when night was falling today. I was about to start back get closer to my car, but then I noticed something happening in the parking lot by the stadium. There was an older lady down there and one of those things (in the body of a bum) was coming at her. I thought she was done for when this guy stepped out of the shadows.
He was wearing some sort of goggles and he was carrying a gun that looked like it belonged on a saturday morning cartoon, but the thing took one look at him and screamed in fury. It started to turn to attack him, but he was quicker and pointed the gun at it. I was thinking that the lunatic was going to get himself killed when this energy came firing out of the gun. The creature was hit and staggered from the attack The man did not waste any time, he was quickly running at it and grabbed it with both hands. The creature reacted like it had been electrocuted and started convulsing and foaming at the mouth. After a few seconds the guy released it and it fell to the ground. After a few more seconds it stopped and I saw/sensed something leaving the body. It writhed on the ground for a few seconds next to the now still body and then schrivelled away.
The older lady then moved quickly over to the body and placed her hands on it. She seemed to be concentrating on something and after a second she stood. She nodded at the man and then the body started moving again. They helped it up and talked to him for a few minutes. The bum looked confused and just walked away.
I was relieving to see others that can do stuff like that guy did. To see someone take on these creatures and kick their butts. But it did leave me with more questions. Like what was that thing that left the body? Is that what is controlling these people?
Anyways, I am going to try to track those two people down. It appears that they might be able to explain things a little better to me.

Getting Prepared
Concrete Angel, your advise and what I saw the past few days has gotten me to start taking lessons on using a handgun. I think I am also going to sign back up for the martial arts lessons I took as a kid. Thanks for the tip. I meant to say this last time, but I got caught up in what has been happening.
I think I might of tracked down the man that was by the stadium with the older lady. I am going this afternoon to see if it is him.

I think it is over for now
I took the day off and went with my newfound friends. One is a private investigator and the other one... well, she was a semi-retired spiritualist.
When we met yesterday afternoon I told them what I have been experiencing. They seemed to understand and explained a little more about what has been going on. I will try my best to share what I learned.
They have been tracking this problem for months. It is apparently a cult that has located itself here in the city that is causing the problems. They are trying to release their "god" into our world and in order to do that they must harvest people for their spiritual energy. To assist them in this, their god has been sending small portions of his spirit into our realm to possess people. Once possessed the people can be controlled at night when their god's power and link to this world is strongest. They were preparing for the final ritual today.
They asked me to join them, they said my gifts could be useful and reluctantly I agreed. I shouldn't have agreed...
We went to the place the believed was being used for the ritual and slowly decended into basement. At the bottom we found a secret passage that led to a tunnel system. Everything was ok until we reached the end of the main tunnel.
When we got there the ritual was already underway. There were these men in black hooded robes and they already had started the process of killing the people that were possessed while chanting something. That was when everything went wrong. The feeling of wrongness must of overcame me because I lost all control of everything. All I could do was crumple and scream and that presense just slammed into my mind.
When I came to Serenity (the older lady) was over me trying to pull me back up the passage, and my PI friend was firing his pistol at the robed figures. As I was trying to get to my feet there was this bolt of energy that hit her, she gasped and then crumpled to the floor beside me. I smelled this horrible charred smell and saw the smoke rising from her. She wasn't moving. She died because I went into a freakin' fit.
Sorry about the outburst, the reality of it all is still hitting me. Anyways the PI started backing up, gun still blazing. It seemed like he never reloaded but that might just be my mind playing tricks on me. The robed figures fell one by one. I make it sound easy, but they were throwing those bolts the whole time. Adding to it was the fact that some of the possessed started attacking us too. Eventually, it forced us to retreat and then to run like hell out of there. We had to leave Serenity behind. Had to leave her to those...
The PI said that we did enough, that we got enough of them that they cannot do what they were trying to. He is going to try to go back tomorrow morning and get Serenity out.
I feel drained.
I do not think I am cut out for this stuff.

Don't get too down on yourself. If Serenity was in this line of work, she knew the risk and she knew what the ultimate price was. Her type are usually quite prepared for when it happens.
You're new, and I'll tell you this, the situations won't get any better, they will probably get worse. If you have any more than a reasonable doubt that you aren't cut out for this, you need to get out now.
But I don't think you can get out. So you need to toughen yourself, physically and psychically. Learn how to control those "fits" and use your abilities to you and your teammates advantage.
You have a gift that I wouldn't mind having. You know.
Me, I can shoot stuff, I can fight stuff, I can apply some basic investigative and tracking principles mixed with a smattering of folklore but I'm usually in the dark about what's really goign on and if I'm dealing with a lunatic or a monster until after the dust settles.
You get to know what's there before you get there, before it leaps out of the shadows.
If i had your gift, I'd double my effectiveness at saving lives and takign down monsters.
Your PI friend sounds a lot like me, and so you areprobably the best asset he could ever hope to find. You 2 should make a formidable team, finding the baddies and eliminating them most efficiently.
We need people like you in this fight. You just need t learn about your abilities and how to control them.

Thanks
Thanks for the kind words, you are more like him than you can imagine from the sounds of it. When I talked to him this afternoon he had a slightly different opinion though. He told me that I would just slow him down right now and his client is paying him too much to take out those things last night for him to stop. Especially since he did not find any bodies in that place when he went back, including hers.
He has advised me to visit a contact of his and learn how to defend myself and find someone else that will help the shakes that have seemed to develop everytime I think about was has happened. He even went as far as to give me a gun, a HK USP 9mm. Just have to go take shooter's classes now (and stop shaking so I can shoot straight).
In the meantime, he asked me to put my other skills to work. I am to post any dreams that I have that are like the ones that were happening the past few weeks on here. Told me that he checks in periodically for leads. I think I have figured out another way to help. He walso wants me to start working on a datacenter for him. A place that collects the odd stories of the net and the information that is out there on what we deal with. I will try to post the stuff that seems interesting.
Anyways, I think I will be offline for a little while. I have a lot to deal with and work on. Thanks for the help, advise, and just letting me state what I have been feeling.

I can see how he'd be concerned since you're not fully prepared for field work yet, though I dislike that he's getting paid to do his thing.
I don't trust people who do this for money at all.
When you're ready, and it sounds like you committed to getting ready, a guy like him or a guy like me couldn't think of a better partner than a guy like you.
So practice, focus and get ready.
