Welcome to My Nightmare :(

When I was a little girl, I was deathly afraid of the darkness. I couldn't stand being in the dark at all and my sisters knew about my fear. They would use my fear as an advantage to themselves so that they could scare me away and get me to start crying. Cruel, right? WELL, one day we were watching Alien VS Predator. I guess I shouldn't have agreed to watch it with them, but I wanted to feel cool watching a scary movie. That was one of the worst decisions of my childhood. I would have nightmares so frequently that the Alien was coming after me. To add to that horror, sometimes Freddy Creuger would make appearances and join forces with the Alien to try to kill me. It was HORRIBLE. I was so afraid to sleep for the simple fact that they might come after me and I spent about two weeks with only 5 solid hours of sleeping. I say solid because I could usually only last 30 minutes sleeping before I realized I was sleeping so I would wake myself up. Then I started having lucid dreams; in those type of dreams, you can control what happens in the dream. You are conscious that you are dreaming and you do whatever the hell you want. I wish I still dreamed like that. Anyways, with those lucid dreams, I started controlling my nightmares and was only left with the horror of my sisters locking me in the bathroom with the lights off and yelling that Bloody Mary was going to come after me. The theory was that if you turned off all the lights in a room and stood in front of a mirror and said "Bloody Mary" three times, then she would appear in front of you. My 6-year-old self would never dare to do those things, I was deathly afraid of the consequences that came with facing Bloody Mary. I always hoped that I would be brave and able to confront her but yeah, never called her name. That's my nightmare. What's yours?
